Logically, a man lighting fireworks & shooting them into a tree full of birds with a bow & arrow would logically take out a few of them, it's never so much as implied it does.

A female character gives birth to a little boy, but it's not shown. You just see her pregnant and then you are introduced to the child long after the fact. Another pregnant female character is seen in begining labor pains and is shown being driven to the hospital, but the movie ends before the birth.

There are babies shown in a nursery.

A female character is mother to a child who is shown when he's about a year old.

A female character is shown 9 months pregnant and going into labor, but the movie ends before she even gets to the hospital, but it's assumed she does. The credits roll as she's being driven there.
