"You leave that girl alone! She is not part of this!" The parrot takes into the air to pursue that thug heading for Robyn, but then there is a surprise explosion of feathers, as though the bird has suddenly poofed into nothingness. But he has not.

Standing right where the bird was flying is a large humanoid reptilian birdman. A naked large humanoid reptilian birdman. He is still holding the knife he was using shortly before that, and he seems rather surprised at this turn of events, as do the thugs. No one told them the parrot could shapechange!
