Why is it feminine?
Ave (bird) is feminine because it derives from Latin "avis," which was feminine in Latin grammar, and Spanish inherited this gender classification when the language evolved from Vulgar Latin. The feminine ending "-e" in Spanish can apply to words of various origins, but "ave" retained its original Latin feminine gender rather than shifting to the more common masculine "-o" pattern.
