She had heard the sound he made, but didn't turn around fearing that the movement would alert and startle the birds. She did give a single flick of her ear and a slight nod of her head to signal that she heard him. "Come" she said in a hushed tone still not turning to face him.

As he came over she nodded to the birds "They're usually simple to catch. I say lets creep up on them and each take one down. I'll grab the right one" she said. Without waiting for his response, being too eager to get moving she slipped forward steadily placing each paw down carefully. The birds were still turned and pecking at the grass, pulling up long worms and swallowing them down. As she got close to her catch she waited a moment and then sprung forward, landing on the bird as it flapped it's wings and screeched. She got smacked in the face by a wing but she growled and bit the back of it's neck, yanking once and breaking it's neck quickly. Panting and wincing as she realized she'd been wacked in the eye, she blinked away the tears that welled up in that eye.
