And peahens. This one sleeps on a fluffy rainbow unicorn stuffed animal:

He’s Artemis’ boyfriend.

They won’t defend other birds from predators like raccoons or weasels or coyotes or anything. They’re just as likely to get eaten in those cases.

However, they will harass snakes and other small, novel animals like mice, rabbits, wild birds, etc if they can get away with it. They will also yell at anything they disapprove of including but not limited to:

Your car

Neighbors

that one leaf that moved in the wind

the wind

deer in the woods

a hawk overhead

an airplane that might be a hawk overhead

each other

a noise they heard

a noise they thought they heard

sparrows

seriously, fuck sparrows specifically, they are DISALLOWED, completely intolerable, must chase off, shake train, and/or yell about it

that one kiwi fruit that was up to no good

the feather that fell off their own body and scared them

thunder (how dare the sky yell at them)

the sun arriving

the sun departing
