I'm just going to jump right in with this :)

I particularly enjoy how you string details along in one sentence. I think I've mentioned this before, but it's true; you have a way with adding descriptive words into a sentence. How you describe - and words you use to do so - are very good (for example, line eleven, "beetle-black" struck me as different, but very appropriate).

Line four stuck out as well, though I'm not quite sure why. It sounded just a bit awkward, though I really liked your usage of the word "downtrodden" and the section "embarrassed by the man’s impartiality".

The ending section, dealing with the bird's inability to fly (or rather, lack of interest in it), was interesting. I can't help but feel as if I missed something, but that's what I get for being in a foreign fandom. Never-the-less, well done. Throughout the text I felt a mix of dark mischief and over-lapping naivety, or falseness. The formal wording really impacted the story's tone. I'm probably reading into things wrong, but that's the best way I can describe it.

Looking forward to more of your writing ;)

This was so lovely to read! The ending was absolutely perfect.
