fallen baby birds
gentle dog and friend of mine
killing birds for fun

I think it's too blunt, for one thing.
Hi, cheyrn, a few suggestions:

L2: Cut "and friend of mine", using either gentle dog or friendly dog.

L3: Cut "bird", using killing for fun, killer instinct, or just "killing".

Strong image, hope this helps. Smile
