Editing Bird (section)

===Volume 4 ===
Bird's obsession with birds was discussed further with Erin when she tried to figure out how he could love birds but also want to kill them. Bird was one of the first and only Antinium to show disobedience to the hive by stating that he occasionally ate the birds he shot instead of returning them directly to the hive.<ref name=":1" /> This discussion ended with Bird setting up a deal to provide birds to the inn that Erin could cook for him. Soon after this, though, Bird was hired on a more permanent basis to work as a guard for Erin's inn.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/02/13/4-12/ Chapter 4.12]</ref> This hiring and more common appearance in the inn did come with some problems, though. Other new hires at the time like [[Maran]] and [[Safry]] were very uncomfortable around Bird and Antinium in general.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/02/20/4-14-l/ Chapter 4.14 L]</ref> These hires did not last, but Bird stayed.

Erin's inn eventually needed to be expanded again, so she decided to build a tower for Bird to use along with a third floor where he would live. At the same time, she noticed that Bird's bow was fairly poorly made and bought a new recurve bow for him. She also set him up with archery lessons from Halrac at the same time.<ref name=":2" /> While the inn was being worked on, Bird became a permanent fixture of the inn spending most of his time on the third floor while the tower was being built<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/03/31/4-24/ Chapter 4.24]</ref> and eventually preferred to spend as much time as possible either in his room or in the tower just above it.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/17/4-29/ Chapter 4.29]</ref> Bird came down from his tower at one point when the named adventurer [[Regrika Blackpaw]] was revealed as a fake identity for [[Az’kerash|Az'kerash's]] minion [[Venitra]]. Realizing that he could not hurt her, Bird dumped a bucket of feces from the outhouse on Regrika to annoy her into chasing after him instead of any other person in the inn.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/21/4-30/ Chapter 4.30]</ref> Although he and the others did manage to chase Venitra away, people did die in the process and those deaths weighed on Bird.

Once the remaining [[Redfang Elite Warriors]] got near the inn, Bird decided to attack them reasoning that Erin's rule of "not killing goblins" didn't apply to hobgoblins.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/08/4-33/ Chapter 4.33]</ref> The goblins beat Bird, knocking him out though he was saved by [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]], [[Drassi Tewing|Drassi]], and [[Mrsha]] who found him in the snow. When [[Eater Goats]] attacked Erin, Bird and the goblins worked together to defend her.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/12/4-34/ Chapter 4.34]</ref>
