Tbf you don’t have to keep a pet bird alone in an undersized cage, I used to follow some people on tiktok that did wildlife rehab for crows, they had an aviary built into their screened-in patio with something like a dog door to the outside, they would introduce new injured crows into the group through the screen to keep them from fighting then gradually move them into the common area, let them adjust and recover then leave when they wanted, a decent amount of the crows just stayed and would follow them around their farm through the day being awesome little pals
They had a similar mechanic in Sekiro, enemy power attacks with a special tell/warning & smaller window for normal parries that come in two varieties, thrust and sweep. Thrust attacks can be negated with mikiri counter, step dodge towards the attack during the normal parry window to step on the blade and drive it into the ground. Sweep attacks can be jumped over and have a unique follow-up option, press jump again on top of the enemy’s head to do a bunch of posture damage. There’s also a handful of enemies & bosses with lightning attacks where you can jump, catch the lightning, and throw it back at them, but if you catch the lightning & fail to throw it back before you hit the ground you take full famage from it. You can dodge the lightning entirely and avoid the risk, or catch it and potentially do a lot of damage by returning it to sender. I fucking love Sekiro.
