Old Bird would be extremely offended by Raven Beak calling Samus "daughter". Raven Beak saw what Old Bird was doing and was like, "Ah hmm yes, since we can no longer reproduce, you are preserving your generic code inside this human child, thus serving the same purpose as a daughter. This is why she calls you father. Very clever."
And Old Bird is just like, "I love her, you idiot."

Now I'm curious, do you think Chozo have mating dances similar to birds here? Anything like "the male displays an incredible display of his tail feathers as he dances to impress his potential mate"?
Becayse imagine if Samus is actually an incredible dancer and has mastered interpretive dance
On one hand, given it's either implied or explicitly mentioned in the manga that the Chozo are dying out because of a loss of ability to have kids, and most of the Chozo that raised Samus were definitely painted as elders, (on a scale ranging from Grey Voice being the equivalent of late 40s to early 50s in a human, to Old Bird being portrayed as her mischievous but ancient grandpa, probably the equivalent of 95+) that sort of stuff might have similarly become defunct, or at the very least just never come up.
On the other hand, such dances could easily have become a cultural thing for them outside of just mating purposes, so on that front, I think it would be quite plausible for some of that to have been passed on to her as well. We mostly know/saw them training her to be a warrior, but I don't think it's a stretch to say there was likely plenty of other stuff outside of that focus that they did their best to pass on to her.
On the other other hand, now I'm picturing Samus entering her late teens and having hormone mood swings and stuff, and Old Bird noticing what's up. So he stops one of Grey Voice's grueling training sessions, (to the latter's disgruntlement) and pulls her aside, says that sooner or later she'll likely be leaving the nest to be with people more her age again, and possibly meet someone who catches her eye. (Whether they be human or another species of the Federation.)
So for that reason, they'll be adding a new dancing course to her teachings! And it winds up being like, a beautiful disaster mix of traditional Chozo dances and like, old 80's human movies like Dirty Dancing and the like they'd picked up from past encounters, (along with (Human) Childcare For Dummies) and the combination should not by all rights work in the slightest, but somehow it just does.
And then a few years later she and Anthony are hanging out in a club attempting to wingman for each other. (Being real here, it would probably mostly be Anthony helping Samus, because he minmaxed charisma and she put all her points into everything else, plus she's still getting used to being around humans again.) And she's anxious as all hell because this is not what she was built for... but then she just breaks out this deeply weird mix of Patrick Swayze strutting and traditional Chozo birb mating dances, and the girl she's trying to impress is deeply, deeply confused but weirdly turned on, and despite her misgivings the first shot at the nightlife part of human culture goes almost shockingly well.

How would the RO react to meeting The Old Birds from Lethal Company and being hunted down by them.
*cue me searching up what the heck that is*
Imre: probably get in touch with some connections his father has with the government. Meanwhile he’ll look into some occult magic to see what he can do there
Nia: she had already detected that it was coming for her before and she has like four different plans from A to D. She is not going to get taken down a machine
Lorcan: piss himself, try to punch it, fail, etc.,

Nobody here knows what this is about but I sketched a scene from Samus’s wedding today
Basically the gist of it is that old bird and grey voice are old gay saps and would cry their eyes out at the wedding, talking about how their hatchling is all grown-up and starting her own nest
Some kind terranians (a space race I made up) would lend them their handkerchiefs, which would look comically tiny in chozo hands
This kid is one of said terranians
Here’s a bonus sketch of the kid
The baby cow horns are fake, she clips them to her hair
