I cannot help but be reminded of ravens when I see this. Those birds are remarkably intelligent, and have occasionally shown tool-using behavior in the wild. Of course, this is far more than just a simple bird, as your title clearly shows. Though now I wonder... Are these "birds" sentient? The carefully selected spear and the knife around the neck certainly imply that...
That cave painting is incredibly striking though. Must have some sort of shamanic value to whoever created it. Oh, and I am only realizing now that they must be pretty big, if they're hunting something that deer-sized.
