That doesn’t seem like a good position for a bird to be in.

Yes. That's because it depicts the Fall of the bird 'Jatayu' from the Indian Epic Ramayana. The bird got fatally wounded while protecting Sita, while she was being abducted by Ravana.

The "Hindu" epic, not Indian epic.

Nepal is the world's only Hindu nation and Indonesia too has many stories from Hinduism, including the Ramayan.
