He immediately broke into a large smile at Shera's coos, delighted that she hadn't been put off by the soon-to-be gorgeous birds. He liked to think of the weird phase in which they started replacing fuzz with feathers - which were mostly spikes ready to open into greenish-black feathers - as their adolescent days. Like bird puberty.
Pursing his lips to contain the laughter as to not disturb the infants, he slowly opened the small door of the cage, sticking his hand in, one millimeter at a time, watching the hesitant birds as they observed him curiously. "Come on," he said, still focused on the pair. "I've told you about them just before coming here." He also hoped Shera wouldn't freak out when he took them out, because he knew many would be comfortable with a set of bars in between them and various creatures, but he was going to cuddle that pair till they stopped wailing.
But first he needed to earn their trust, and prepare himself to be bitten.
She giggled lightly at Daehyun's surprise and could immediately tell that he probably wanted nothing to do with the child. It didn't bother her that much, but she did give him a a mischievous grin.
"My parents say that I was harder to keep up with."
And that was why they waited so long to have another child.
What had they spoken about earlier? Threstrals, salamanders, winged horses... there were so many creatures that they had spoken about! But she needed to think specifically about any birds that they were speaking about. It was a wail of the baby that finally made her think of the birds that Daehyun said she would be good for, smiling brightly at the boy the moment she realised what it was.
"Augureys!"
With her thinking complete, she let herself observe what the Gryffindor was doing. It was interesting to watch the birds also observe him, and Shera just relaxed herself knowing that Daehyun knew what he was doing.
