Oh, of course. [ Harrow had not been thinking about the possible lethality of gravity, either. Or the weight of bones. She's very good at bones -- she may not be as good at birds. ]

I can certainly be sure not to crush it on the ground, but it will have to be convinced to hold still long enough for the cage to spring up around it after a bone shard is placed close enough to do so.

Meaning -- yes, we will have to either sneak up on it with the stealthiest of you [ she just knows it's not her ] placing a bone shard close enough, or have to convince it to land and settle next to one that is already there for about three to five seconds. Are pigeons easily baited?

[ Maybe Ciri will tell them that actually, pigeons love to play with bones and this will be incredibly easy! Or perhaps not, which is more what Harrow is expecting. But surely they can come up with something. ]
