Several people have pointed out that the bird in panel 6 of
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0532.html

is probably the bird that was killed in offscreen in panel 2 of
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0053.html

I just wanted to mention that after being killed in stip 53 it probably makes one more appearance in
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0136.html

Appearance matches other than the claws which were probably singed in the explosion and dragging a dead bird all that way from the ruins of a dungeon for the sake of a bad one off joke is the sort of thing a cat (not to mention a Giant) would do. :)

Um, no. It's about the size of Roy's foot. The sigil bird is much, much larger than that. This is an ex-parrot.

The magical explosion shrank it?

Those are two diffrent birds. I see no similarities in those two birds, except for their colours and beak.

And even if the corpse survived from the explosion, then why would we want to see it brought in by a cat anyway?

A bird's a bird. I don't think they're the same. Anyway even if they were, things do have a tendancy to not really die so much in this comic.

Birds=Other Birds. Unless this is a magical bird that plays a part in story canon I hardly think it matters.

The bird actually makes its first appearance here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0047.html), though it looks a lot less fierce in #532.

But Haley kills it like two comcs later.

Not Haley. Haley's arrow misses and it's Sabine that kills it.
