"What kind of bird is that?"
Her companion does not seem particularly sociable, but it doesn't seem to faze her in the slightest -- Rachel's curiosity is piqued by the large (and just as withdrawn-looking) creature perching on the man's shoulder. Sure, books and guides were available...and there were plenty of data logs about animals from before the Devouring, but Rachel's focus had been on things more pressing to her own needs. (Math for finances...operational skills for keyboards...physical therapy...by contrast, she hadn't learned as much about the old world as she should have.)
There's likely some notepad app in the phone she was given...if she went through the things on it again, she'd use that to note down just what kind of bird this was.
"Their feathers are quite beautiful."
