When you are quite small with fluffy grey and white feathers, it is easy for the ones without feathers to mistake you for a softie.
“Oooooooh,” they coo. “Look at that BABY! So CUTE!”
This can be an excellent time to set the record straight by displaying your inner “bird of prey.”
Direct eye contact and a slightly open beak can convey your “bird of prey” fierceness.Since birds of prey are also very confident, adopting an air of nonchalance is essential to accurately represent your true nature.Feigning a nap – common while birds of prey are still digesting their victims – is another great nonverbal communication tool.And if you happen to actually fall asleep while you are feigning, this will only enhance your fierce and confident reputation.
