Oh, interesting entry! Plenty of varying sections. I really like the melody at 0:24. I love this melody, and I finally know why: the intervals between the notes in this melody are uneven, almost like triplets! Really cool. The occasional pigeon sound ties it all together, and those pizzicato strings also kinda sound birdlike to me, although I am not sure why. I also like the piano-part at 1:56, it gives the whole thing a softer touch; although it almost makes me feel like I should be a bit sad about killing these pigeons. Overall, tThe whole thing sounds like a great battle theme to me!

Thank you for your kind words and detailed feedback! It does mean a lot :)
Making melodies like this has become my (not-so-good) habit since it is one of my favorite patterns.
(it is called "3/4 + 1/2" in some rhythm games, but I am not so sure about the actual musical term) xD
Pizzicato was my top pick for an instrument that provides the feeling that birds are pecking you; I am glad you find it fitting!
You are also right about the piano section. The battle theme is supposed to be engaging and energetic;
I think it might be more suitable to use this section as a post-battle theme, similar to Hollow Knight. I'm happy to hear you still like it nonetheless.
Once again, I appreciate all your effort in writing this comment. Have a great day! :D
P.S. Love your soundtrack. Such a delightful entry!
