==Uses==
==Uses==
Bird Statues primarily serve both as the save feature of ''Skyward Sword'' and as a gateway to [[The Sky]].<ref>{{Cite|I highly recommend that you save your progress whenever you encounter a bird statue.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|This bird statue contains significant sacred power. If you offer prayers through it, you can make a record of your quest progress.|Fi|SS}}</ref> When in a dungeon, they cannot be used to return to the sky; instead, they are used to teleport Link out of the dungeon, similar to [[Ooccoo]] and [[Ooccoo Jr.]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. If Link dies in his journey, he can continue it at these statues, saving him the trouble of exploring the land or dungeon again. Even if Link does not want to save a record of his quest, it is recommended to visit these statues so that he may mark their position on the [[map]] and dive to them later in the future.<ref>{{Cite|When you find a bird statue, you should always examine it more closely, even if you have no intention of using it to save your progress. Examining the bird statue will record it on your map, allowing you to check its position later with [+].|Fi|SS}}</ref>
