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?

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
