After Cornello had been eaten by Gluttony, the townspeople search for him but
find a lot of dead birds. Envy arrives as Cornello and passes off a miracle
and claims that the Cornello who had been "conning" everyone was sent by the
devil while "he" was out of town. The miracle he performs is bringing the
birds back to life, but out of everyone's view in the sky the birds explode.

Now I can understand how it's possible if alchemy was used, however, none the
homunculi can use Alchemy except for Wrath, because:

> His arm and leg belong to Ed, and as such can create an array with them
> since "the truth" was engraved into Ed's body and he had only lost one limb
> at that time.

So I am wondering, how did those birds come back to life?

EDIT: I'm referring to the original (first produced).

How did the birds come back to life when Envy arrived?


Envy has the ability to transform its body into whatever form. BUT, its
original form was that which resembles a lizard with a mane made out of the
souls which were inside its Stone. **(Reference: Manga)** Each philosopher
stone contains a countless amount of souls. The only logical explanation is
that it cut one of those souls off and made it into a bird. But souls that are
cut from the main body cannot exist for long ((Similar to when a Homunculus's
arm is cut off, the arm disappears but a new one is regenerated) otherwise the
world would be filled with infinite number of severed, unidentified limbs...)

Being that Envy's true form is that of an animal, this also mean that it can
transform itself into animal. Envy can also make its arms into things like
swords or other shard blunt objects. (Weapons)

_This question might also be something unanswerable, because..._

The original FMA did NOT follow the manga. I will say it again. **DID NOT
FOLLOW THE MANGA**. So basically after the Elric brother's mom died, the
director metaphorically walks off the side walk across the street and at times
in the middle of the road, but most of the time he's swimming in the river
next to the side walk.

So it's not that hard to believe that this might just be something completely
thought up in the moment in order to fill a gap in the story. FMA:BH follows
the Manga.
