So  I think.

Cain was barking at it, but made no attempt to molest it. I retrieved the bird and put it back in the nest. From that day on, I never worried about him and birds.
He was really good with other animals. Once we took in a pregnant stray cat. That cat would jump the fence to be with Cain. They quickly became fast friends. And though I always watched him carefully around children, he was always gentle with them; much better than Norton, who tends to play too rough with the kids. Cain would take crap off kids that he would never tolerate from an adult. He was a pretty smart and civilized old fellow. We still miss him.
