EN: bird of prey
The alpha birds. The Titas of the sky who look down on everyone. Think eagles, hawks, and owls. They're the ones with sharp talons for snatching up snacks (like snakes or smaller animals) and a resting 'judgmental' face. They don't just eat seeds; they go for the kill.
A compound noun from 'ibon' (bird) and 'maninila' (predator).
ROOT MEANING: bird
'Maninila' is derived from the root 'sila' (prey).
