Shite-Hawk
The term "shite-hawk" is believed to have originated as military slang by the British Army in India and Egypt, as a derogatory term for the black kite (Milvus migrans), which was despised by soldiers for its habit of stealing food from their plates. (From Wikipedia)
The name Shite-Hawk is also believed to refer to its habit of rooting about in sewage. How appropriate!
So cruelly robbed ...

His wish? It is their command.
The Poppy? A joke.
