Does that bird have any special meaning/relevance? Because I think I saw a similar one associated with Youmu somewhere else before, but I can't seem to find the reason.

Her theme music is titled "Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?" I assume that's the strange bird in question.

hilariously, the "strange bird" the legend refers to is actually a Nue.

Thanks for the info. That makes me think of post #996653. Also for whatever reason now I want to see a YoumuxNue pairing.

The bird in question is a woodpecker, and seems to be an Okinawa Woodpecker specifically - by coincidence the only Japanese woodpecker I'm familiar with.
