Is there a word meaning "bird-like" in the same way that "arachnoid" means "spider-like" or "ichthyoid" means "fish-like"?
An example sentence involving this word would be: "The figure depicted in the cave painting had a [bird-like] appearance to it."
(I looked up the scientific name for birds, "aves", but if I naively try to add an "-oid" suffix I unfortunately arrive at "avoid".)

"Avian" is the usual adjective for bird-like. "Avine" and "volucrine" (though less common) also work.
