I like how the hole is perfectly bird shaped

Is it next to a bird? That looks like a bird.

Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It's like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.

Maybe bees looked different, 5000 years ago on a different continent?

Ha ha yes - bees with horns, what a thought!

These could be the antenae. I mean, carving into stone doesn't really lend itself well for high-res depictions.

Ah, that makes more sense actually, that thing definitely has more than 2 legs.

Cute, but isn't bird poop errossive AF? Should probably eliminate the infestation.

Living things > inanimate objects.
We've destroyed their habitat, so they have to go somewhere.
