"I'm sure they can be kept in a soundproof sanctuary if their collective cries are so bad." There must be a charm that ought to do the trick. "Or just wear earplugs." Then again, he'd never heard a choir of fifty Augureys crying at the same time, but he would find a way around it, anyway.
His was hungry, as well?
It had taken him a moment to realize what Shera was saying, but eventually he looked down and saw the small Augurey reach its neck out towards the jar of insects, its fuzzy wings flapping helplessly on the sides for balance. "Are you, now?" he asked the bird. Giggling, he took a couple of dried insects out and held them in his palm for the hungry bird to take and, sure enough, they were gone a few moments later.
As Shera joined him on the floor, he grinned at the sight of her cooing at the Augurey she was feeding. "See, you've already cheered up an Augurey." Point proven that she was good for the wailing birds. "I wonder if we can adopt them..." He would adopt every being in that nursery and nearby barn that didn't have an owner, but that was beside the point.
"Even just a silencing charm, I mean we use that for so many other things," Shera mused, giggling at the memories of when she had had a silencing charm cast on her to get her to be quiet when her mum couldn't handle it anymore. That was still a funny memory. She never appreciated it being used on her though...
The bird in Daehyun's hands was flapping about cutely, and Shera couldn't help but smile at the sight. Though, she situation wasn't much different with her holding and feeding the other baby Augurey. One insect down, and it wasn't already nuzzling and nibbling her fingers in it's search for more food.
"Alright, alright, I'll get you more," she assured the baby bird, pulling a few more dried insects out of the jar and offering it to the augurey.
It didn't take it very long to consume all of them, though it seemed somewhat satisfied and took to nuzzling instead of nibbling her.
She couldn't help but laugh and shrug at what Daehyun had said about her cheering up an Augurey.
"I just fed it, I don't think that really counts," because it really shouldn't. Anyone could feed an Augurey.
Now adopting them? That was something that she could get behind.
"We could ask Professor Wayland? I'm sure there'd be some way to do it, and if I send an owl to my dad he'd definitely organise it..." that in mind, she contemplated just sending an owl to her father anyway. She was sure that he would agree with the request. Knowing the man, he'd buy her hundreds of Augurey's if it made her happy...
