It's a sign of our times that we are increasingly
sensitive (thankfully) to how our perceptions and words can negatively impact
others. Very cute and this is also a sign we have had an impact on raising
empathetic, kind, thoughtful children:

look like that, flapping its wings so rapidly? It looks so different. (silence
for a second, followed by) Not that there's anything wrong with it. Just
wondering why."
