Garth was on the floor, pretty much. His front right 'arm' was bent in front of him, every from the elbow down against the ground, keeping himself up. His beak was bloodied and was dripping some on the ground. His wings were unfolded, yet resting on the ground. He took one look at the note before his arm gave up and he fell down completely. He tried to speak, but that just made him cough some.
(Pretty much taking it to be severe pain, even thought none of it is shown by any bruises or such. For some reason, it seems to me more like something like rearranging organs. *Shrug* Tell me if this wouldn't be what would happen, since I don't know.)
