Will my bird stop liking me when I transition
I'm FTM and have an imprint male Harris. I'm starting my transition soon including HRT. Would this impact my birds temperament with me?

But if the bird doesn't acknowledge the gender change it's transphobic??

Birds have a terrible sense of smell, but incredible eyesight.
Birds will flip out on you if you change your nail color, I doubt they will be chill with changes that come with the train.

No. Falcons are completely fricking r-slurred and utterly incapable of even recognizing particular people. Your little killing machine is incapable of liking anyone so it won't change after your transition.

I don't think those things have emotions
like even on a chicken level
they are solitary hunters
0 sociability
killing machines fit for purpose
their relationship with the falconer is utilitarian; they tolerate you because you feed and shelter them
like a cat but worse bc no affection
birds already don't like being touched even friendly ones
that said
I fantasize that none of this is true
we all lie to ourselves

I dunno if I transitioned one day and their was a real risk I could no longer do a drive by with my Eagle Owl someday, transitioning would be a big no from me.
