[ --All at once, the birds start up in a racket, talking over each other(with the conure and macaw the loudest, of course). The owl releases a piercing screech to silence them. Or, well, quiet them down enough so that the shrike can continue. ]

Quiet! Quiet!

What we would like-- that is the owl's decision, as the only one who truly wishes to be involved with you... strange, two-legged things.
