Summary
It has eaten humans on many occasions. It is not his only food source, as he will eat anything with skin, but in general, whether by chance of fate or otherwise, he has never eaten a human or an animal or anything that has a nest with young.
Thinks of what happens to baby birds whose parents leave the nest never to return, and a twinge of discomfort makes him uneasy. If the caretaker of the human hatchling does not return by nightfall, the child will be cold and hungry, and will chirp to call its parents, but after a while, when the parents do not return, it will die of cold and hunger and dry up until there is nothing left.
Look at the skin it has put on. He knows it must look the same as the childs human's keeper. Surely he won't know the difference. After all, it's meant to be that way.
How hard must it be to raise a human hatchling? At least until it is able to feed itself.
