Osprey had no knowing of bird's fragile hearts and it was a good thing she didn't. Otherwise she would soon develop a special hunting method of "scaring a bird to death" and picking up corpses one by one. If it came to prey - the hunter could be cruel like that. But she did not have this knowledge, nor any idea that birds had hearts at all. To her they were like curious mechanisms jumping around, chirping nonesense, eating, pooping, mating, but not being capable of rational thinking.

Yet now she had to revise her views, because the bird answered. In an odd way, that's for sure, but what they had looked like a conversation. She sat down and kept her gaze locked at the bird. "Then you are just boasting. I bet that these few words is all you know," she announced in a haughty manner with every intention to provoke the creature.
