    That bird had legs that wouldn’t quit, and an unblinking stare that looked right into your soul. She kept pleading with me to tell her “Who? Who?” but I had no answers.

    You know seeing how you phrased the sentence, I know intuitively that it should be long, skinny legs instead of skinny long legs but I’m not sure why

      There’s actually a “proper” order of adjectives in English!

      https://www.csmonitor.com/The-Culture/In-a-Word/2021/0921/Explaining-the-royal-order-of-adjective-placement

      It’s not something ever learn directly, but nonetheless we all seem to inherently know it. Why this order? Who knows! It’s one of many weird quirks of our language (and some others). It’s certainly a hard thing for non-native speakers to pick up on.

      Those are jesses used to let the handlers keep ahold of the bird while on their glove, as well as tether the bird to a perch. So basically the bird version of a leash.

        Or to keep it from clawing its handler to death for exposing his secret.

      So 1: this appears to be someone’s pet so not cool
