Could Victor Krum be a male Veela and are Veela part bird?

Well, JKR has never yet given any clues in the books that male veelas
exists. It could be that Krum was just highly skilled in the air. And
of course, one would resemble what he's good at.

Carol:
We do glimpse Viktor Krum's parents briefly in GoF. His parents are
both dark-haired and his father is hook-nosed like Viktor (and like
Snape, who certainly is not part Veela :-) ). I think it's just
genetics, as the narrator says ("He had inherited his father's hooked
nose," GoF Am. ed., p. 613). Besides, they don't allow Muggle-borns at
Durmstrang. I doubt very much that they'd allow "part-human
nonwizards," if I recall the expression correctly. Interestingly,
Fleur's mother is mentioned, but she doesn't seem to have a father,
which again raises the question of whether there are male Veelas and
if not, how a girl could be only part (presumably a quarter) Veela.

Carol, who thinks there must be male Veelas and female leprechauns,
but that both are very rare, like female dwarves in LOTR ("It's the
beards.")
