In the third panel, the small bird is dwarfed by a big black bird with messy feathers shouting "Engaging tutorials, great talks, insightful discussions!". In the fourth panel, in closeup, the small gray bird is visibly annoyed while the black bird keeps shouting "Early bird pricing ends in 2 days!".
