The trouble is, the bird is not actually thirsty; it's hungry. And that's why I don't think the ending with the emphasis on lack of water works very well to create a parallel between the narrator and the bird that kills.

I agree with Petra. Is the bird of prey thirsty? No, hungry. No? Otherwise a vivid and captivating poem. I remember this one and know who wrote it.
