Is Sigilyph based on a bird?

Question

Is the Pokémon, Sigilyph is based on some kind of bird? I've check a couple years back to be sure, but I didn't really find much about it,
Anyone?

Answer 1

Sigilyph appears to have been inspired by the Nazca Lines, specifically the avian figures, and kachina dolls. Like Sigilyph, the Nazca Lines are found in a desert. It also resembles a wind chime.

Sigilyph is a combination of sigil and glyph. It may also draw its name from "sylph", which was a spirit of the air according to folklore.
