This Bird Costume Haunts Me

I was doing some searching for images I could use for some cover art for an upcoming book when I came across this picture, and...just...why? What in fresh hell is going on in this thing? This picture leaves me with so many unanswered questions. This looks like something you'd find in a serial killers house after you finally arrest him. Had this been a realistic bird costume, that'd be one thing; then it'd be just a statement on how the roles are reversed, here's a bird holding a human captive instead of the "natural order" we have. But...it's not. This thing looks like it's a Tweety Bird knock off costume sold at a lesser known costume shop with a name like "Party Ville" or some shit like that.

And because the bird costume is so unprofessional, and looks so homemade, it only adds to the overall creepiness factor of the damn thing. He looks like a sentient pinata for fucks sake, and his hands aren't even feathered! He's just wearing dishwashing gloves! This is a man who steals children and holds them hostage while dressed as a cartoon bird. There's nothing not weird about this. This is actually what the word "weird" was created for, this image, right here.

The lack of any other kind of furniture doesn't help, either, okay? If anything, that only makes this whole scene look even more suspicious! Now we know for certain that this is just a house he tends to his victims in, hence why all that's there is an armchair and a big metal cage. He wouldn't take his hostages to his real home, they'd be able to identify him if they ever escaped, so he has to keep a side house for these sorts of things. And why bother filling that side house with furniture if you're not gonna live there, right?

I don't know, man. This whole thing makes me totally uneasy.

Isn't there any time in life where you can trust an full grown man in a poorly made bird costume?
