It is baffling that we hear them called Air Nomads, but we only ever see them hiding in a couple monasteries and never moving. I can only resolve this by assuming there was a large population of Air Nomads we didn't see on the show, who were wandering around, doing their own thing, and as OP suggests, occasionally knocking up the locals.

I thought the temples were sort of refuges for them/places they returned to, not necessarily places they lived for a long time? idk

NAYRT
I thought their children were raised for years in one of the Temple and only moved out of it when they got into their preteens. Maybe it makes sense for child rearing, but what about their caretakers? that was quite a long time for adults to be sedentary.

What OP seems to be confused about is that they had vows of Celibacy. Was never mentioned in the show, and consider the actions of the ones we know: Aang had no problem taking a wife and having lots of kids. And his Son who he raised as a traditional airbender had no problem taking a wife and having lots of kids. And now that there's a bunch of others Tenzin has never told them all to stop banging, he just wants them to shave their heads.

While the genetics contributing to Airbenders is plausible, I think there's quite a few out there for a reason. Also word of god is geography is part of the component so it's likely Air Bastards had a far lower or even zero chance of being born Airbenders as much because of where they were born as anything. We know genetics isn't a sole determiner

Well of course Tenzin has never told his recruits to stop banging, how would that fly in a kids show?

Yeah I think it was mostly an assumption about celibacy by the fandom, since it WAS kind of shown/implied that the Northern and Southern Air Temples were for men and the East/West temples were for women.

I imagine they probably did a lot of journeying all over the place. Every Air Nomad has a flying bison companion, and Aang mentions having had friends in all Four Nations, which makes me think they did quite a lot of travelling.

The "hiding in monasteries" thing could have been because Sozin and the Fire Nation were becoming more threatening, and the Air Nomads expected the four temples to be hard to reach, so they went there for safety?
