Redhawk Caldera father bird

Mild PP with the bloody bird. Tell me if you mind and I'll edit. :)

The smell of blood drew a patrolling Peregrine's attention and he hastened his previously leisurely pace, loping toward the source. When he found himself at the furthest edge of his domain, he paused and then proceeded, driven by curiosity. If he could get his hands on some free food, all the better. Fox would appreciate a meal and, by the smell of it, this blood was fresh.

Unfortunately, with the slain rabbit came a wolf. Licking his chops, Peregrine slowed, then stopped perhaps a dozen feet from the stranger. He eyed him shrewdly, his tail partially arched and his ears thrust forward. This was technically no man's land, though Peregrine was hardly tolerant of interlopers near his lands with his pups arriving any day now. This guy could take his kill and scram.

He opened his mouth to tell the stranger to take a hike when Peregrine noticed the small gray bird nearby. It was just a regular old bird, so far as he could tell, but he blinked hard when he saw the splotch of blood on its pale breast. His neck straightened and he stared at the avian for a moment before his jade eyes shifted back to the strange wolf, suddenly noticing his snaggletooth.

"So, let me get this straight. This is your pet... sparrow?" the swarthy Alpha guessed. "And you feed it meat?"
