Gerhard Visser's Falcon Paste #2

Visser inserted a key into the falcon's skull and it closed its eyes. The second falcon hopped up to his arm and he repeated this procedure, but the third moved to avoid him and only after he gave it a tut-tut did it stay still long enough for him to use his key. It glared until its dark eyes closed. He had no idea what went on in the little mind inside the metal brainpan. He carefully placed the falcons in a portmanteau and closed the case. The birds had followed his gestures perfectly. He had trained them for hours and hours under the watchful eye of Dr. Hyde. (Slade, 44)
