"for the benefit of sky-animal hunting they feed an animal". OK,
sky-animal works okay for "bird". But if you mean "they fed an animal for
bird-hunting", perhaps a purpose clause with -meH would be more
appropriate. "chalHa'DIbaHmey wammeH Ha'DIbaH luje'" perhaps? I'm not
sure I understand the significance of feeding an animal to hunt birds.

>"wamwI'pu' latlh" or something else (assuming that's what you want to say).
