The rdava-bird was a species of brightly colored bird native to the planet Garqi. They were small, no larger than the hand of a Human, and had orange and red plumage. Rdava-birds were commonly found in Vlassy Nature Preserve, where they were admired by visiting tourists. Large numbers of rdava-birds began to die off when a leak at an Imperial research station spread a pollen-carried nerve toxin into the nature preserve. Later, a rdava-bird was instrumental in grounding the starfighter of Corran Horn, a former CorSec officer hiding on Garqi.
