[@potato.pancake]

@@k.w9390 my interpretation: it’s a metaphor for how a dog will bring a dead bird to its owner, comparing the bird to narrator’s attraction to her lover. there is a question of whether the dog/narrator knows that the bird/affection is unwanted, but regardless, it is clear that the owner/lover doesn’t want the bird/affection and the dog/narrator keeps bringing it back.
