Although the title character loves birds, he still catches many. Off screen his mother poisons birds. Another character sells dogs to a slaughter house.

Cat doesn’t die but it’s handled really roughly when it has a bird in its mouth at about 1:22

His favourite bird dies when she flies into a window. He possibly kills a snake that is attacking a seagull. Off screen his mother and the butcher kill his pigeons.

Several dead horses and dogs at a slaughterhouse. Briefly when the bird dies, he holds her body in his hands as he mourns her.

No, but there is dubious consent. At the start the main character is making out with a girl, he touches her breasts over her bra and she pushes his hand away and says she isn’t in the mood and he says that she is and continues to caress her. She is not shown to be in any distress. Later he touches a nurse’s breast and then apologises.
