The way I understand it, hunting is not so much about killing the animal in combat in this game but more to do with tracking and traps and that sort of thing. Lucretzia can help in anticipating the bird's behavior. She could also rig something up so if the bird was forced back out she could block it from re-entering or slip out to make a snare outside that would catch it up if it was chased out. I'm just brainstorming here because I'm still trying to get a feel for the mechanics.
