((Flare is alpha male.))
Flare sat in his nest next to Shard, feathers puffed out to protect himself from the biting cold of the latest frost. He blinked his eyes open sleepily and glanced at his mate. He cooed in satisfaction that she hadn't left him in the night, as his family all had when he learned to fly.
Glimmer screeched, signaling the end of her hunt as she landed on her human-keeper's shoulder. Digging her claws into him in fake affection for him. She hated humans, yet she had no choice but to help them monitor the bird population of the forest. She glared around before taking flight again, circling the edge of the forest, her keen eyes scanning the branches for potential interaction.
