A bird would have better coloring, now that you mentioned it.

[Although he does have a bird name, she can't compare him to a bird -- she didn't want to offend all of the colorful birds out there.]

Hm, no, if I had to choose a spirit animal for you, I'd say you're more like a mountain pup than anything else.

[Like a fox or maybe a dhole, if she knew the names of those actual animals.]
