As short as i can say it but from spoilers i read, dickhead king sees the bird and finds out it's sending letters between navier and henley, tells navier if he sees it again he's going to have it shot, cue a day or 2 later and the king has a "blue bird" served for dinner, causing navier to nearly have a breakdown, it's not the same bird (he was playing a wicked prank, i think the feathers he used was from another bird he got i think navier as a pet), but prick king doesn't really seem to come off as apologetic, it's one of the things that starts navier's "i gotta get away from this scumbag" mindset imo, and is really one of the things that pushes sovietshoe over the unforgivable barrier.
