PRECIOUS EVOLVED FLYING DINOSAUR

This is the world’s largest flying Engine of Murder marveling at the fact that it can actually have its tummy rubbed.

@why-animals-do-the-thing Why is birb tied down?

Waltz:

Birb is not tied down! What you’re seeing are jesses - they’re the equipment that the falconer holds onto while the bird is on the glove. Partially for control and partially so the bird can have some movement if it bates off the glove.

There’s more information on this bird in this older post - spoilers, but this is one of the cool responsible scenarios we found out lots of info about!
