What makes Venus's inhabitants unique among those encountered?

Venus's inhabitants are unique among those encountered due to several distinct characteristics. They are described as 'winged figures' or 'Bird-Folk,' possessing a pair of wings springing from their shoulder-blades and back muscles, allowing them to fly with 'exquisite ease and grace'[1]. They also have 'four arms' and hands with 'three fingers and a thumb'[1].

Their communication is distinct, as they 'talk in song-language'[1], using a 'low crooning note, like the language in which doves converse'[1]. Furthermore, they are portrayed as a sinless people, with 'no jealousy, no selfishness,' and no 'vice, or meanness, or cheating'[1]. They are also sensitive to direct sunlight, closing their eyes and clasping their hands when exposed to it[1].
