What counts as "witnessing death"
#3
I have always interpreted it as being seeing death in the sense that you see and understand, perhaps for the first time, the moment of mortality. So, if you're a baby and someone happens to die in a room you are also present in then no, you have not 'seen' death. I take 'seeing' to mean not just physically seeing it but understanding the magnitude of the moment and absorbing that into your heart and soul as you see someone else's heart and soul cease to be. You've always been aware that death is a thing but now you have seen it for yourself and thus you are also able to see the spooky death birds.

Personally I don't extend that to animals because, while upsetting, it doesn't change the fabric of who you are when they die.
