Alright. I did some reading into flying monkey mythology of Oz (see HERE for full article)
Important points
In the original Oz novels, winged monkeys were just what the name implies: intelligent monkeys with bird-like wings. The Winged Monkeys were once a free people, living in the forests of Oz. They were carefree, but rather mischievous
In the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, the monkeys are apparently intelligent enough to obey commands, but do not speak, as in the book.
They were never included in any of the subsequent Oz books by Baum, although they are mentioned in The Marvelous Land of Oz, and Alexander Volkov’s Oz-based series briefly features them once more (and they are also mentioned once more).
