Hmm... well, if we're talking bird people, t-then it'd be weird for any of them to be considered domesticated, huh...?
So we could focus on the cuckoo. Although, I hope that doesn't make me sound crazy! It's just that brood parasites have to trick everyone around them to survive. That's, um, pretty fitting for a spy.
[Worried she'd lose him with that, she puts her hands up suddenly in reassurance.]
B-But it's not like it's such a bad thing either! There was a study in which crows' nests were found to be more successful if they contained a parasite... the cuckoo chick had, um, a secretion that repelled predators. And... I intend to be successful for my adopted family too. Does that make sense?
