A Méich Bhaonnáiqh non-human language by Aoife Ní Fhlaithbheartaigh spoken by uplifted crows

"how close to Tiberian Hebrew can I get with an avian vocal tract anatomy" (Assume similar constraints as C'aar)

No rounded vowels; i e ɛ a ʌ ɤ ɯ (assuming backness is possible), with short, long and overlong
"Rostral" (beak) instead of "labial"? Should I have these sounds at all? conventionally transcribed as if they were labials
Glottal won't make sense
Rostral: /p b f v ʙ/
Palatal: /c ɟ ç j/
Pharyngeal: /ħ ʕ/
Syringeal: /h ʔ/ (?)

should sometimes do two different things with their two syrinxes at the same time
