VIDEO
I wish to return my gift. It was not necessary, and I do not feel that I am the best caretaker for any variety of pet, cybernetic or no.
[ The camera pans out slightly, and it becomes apparent that there is a rather odd looking bird perched on the end of Perceptor's shoulder scope. It looks like a metal owl, large by human standards but still tiny compared to Perceptor, that swivels it's head to watch what he's doing with large, luminous eyes. He hasn't even bothered to remove the ribbon and bow wrapped around it. ]
I would, however, wish to keep it long enough to fun a few more diagnostics. Superficially it bears a general resemblance to the Strigidae of Earth, in particular the genus Megascops, although how such a construct exists so far from the planet...
[ He trails off in thought, the owl shifting on his scope, fluffing up metal plumage. ]
Regardless, I will be seeking a more permanent home for it.

'Owley'..?
no subject
Yes. Owley. Or something cool like. I dunno. Killface.
no subject
I believe it would be more appropriate for the one who takes it to name it.
no subject
Come on.
no subject
I don't know...
[ But already he can tell he's going to lose this argument. ]

Hello, Karrie.
action
Hey Perce.
action
It perches in the palm of his hand, ruffling metal feathers and blinking... well. Owlishly. ]
This is it. On my way here I debated referring to it as 'Scope,' given it's apparent affection for the aforementioned appendage.
action
He's adorable. Very fitting for you...
Scope? Scope is okay. Still think Owley is the way to go, but Scope is cute.
Re: action
[ The correction slips out before he can stop himself, and he immediately looks flustered. ]
That is-- Female is the default sex of organic life on Earth, from a biological standpoint, and as this is clearly based off of a species of Earth avian I would imagine it only appropriate to judge it by the standards of your planet.
Assuming it has any sex or gender at all.
action
Oh, pardon me. Of course.
She.
action
It--she--insists on following me everywhere I go.
action
She must love you already.
action
[ He hums thoughtfully. ]
In any case, your company tends to offer far more rewards than this... bird.
