A minor thing. The bird isn't portrayed as being sadistic; it's just doing what it naturally does. The bird even questions why Fox is traveling with his prey and not eating them.

* The Siege of White Deer Park is, hands down, the most terrifying of the stories, to the extent that the more heavily censored third season of the cartoon just cut it out of its chronology completely rather than try to adapt it. The basic premise of the story is that a mysterious predator has moved into the park -- bigger, stronger, stealthier, fiercer and deadlier than any of the native carnivores. It hunts and kills without discrimination, devouring everything from deer down to fieldmice. The Farthing Wood-beasts and their descendants try to find it and kill it or drive it away, but everything they do turns out to be in vain, as the Beast nimbly evades or outfights them every time. It even kills Bold's son, Husky. The only relief comes when the Beast finally decides to leave the park to answer the call of a female, which brings the [[FridgeHorror realization]] that this means there are ''more'' of them out there.
** What ''is'' the Beast? It's nothing less than an unidentified big cat, an homage to the urban legend of there being pumas, panthers or other big cats hiding out in the wilderness of Britain. It's the very definition of an OutsideContextProblem, as the Farthing Wood-beasts have no idea what kind of animal it is, being only able to compare it to the Warden's cat but much, ''much'' larger.

*** The Pheasants' deaths are the real WhamEpisode of the series. Besides the ambiguity of the newts' fates, there had only been near-misses or comedic peril in the earlier episodes. Then Mrs. Pheasant is shot. A close shot of her corpse is actually shown, eyes shut and peaceful, almost possible to lead audiences [[DisneyDeath thinking she's just unconscious]]. Then Mr Pheasant, who has been nothing more than a comic relief {{Jerkass}} the series beforehand, later sees what is supposedly his mate as nothing more than a roast, marking not only a proper death but an unsettling removal of the animal's humanized attributes.
