“Once Moogle's Gift Mounts was established and its rookery stocked with Ishgard's finest birds, it was not long before an entire settlement had grown up around the stables. The trademark balloon tethered to the main building is actually an Ixali war vessel claimed by chocobokeeps after it became tangled in a nearby tree and was abandoned by its riders.
Bentbranch Meadows is a settlement in Central Shroud.
Quotes
“(In reference to moogles) "Could be aye. One of 'em saved my hide when the Calamity struck. I was in a part of the woods what we now call the Standin' Courses that day. Seemed like the whole bleedin' forest was ablaze, and I couldn't see a yalm in front of me for all the smoke. Well-nigh given up hope, I had. Then, all of a sudden, a moogle appears out of nowhere tugs at me smolderin' sleeve, and leads me straight to a bit of the wood where the fire hadn't taken hold. And now you know why the business is named "Moogle's Gift Mounts." Seemed like the least I could do. I'd be dead if it weren't for that plucky little bugger."

Settlement
Bentbranch Meadows has an aetheryte.
The Chocobo Stables are a key feature of the area. Docette starts the quest 
My Feisty Little Chocobo which unlocks the Companions feature, and Luquelot who offers the Bird in Hand quest to unlock the Chocobo Raising improvements to Companions. Coincidentally, there is also the unrelated feature of Chocobo Racing, and a Feathertrader vendor that sells racing food.
