its like being near animals, most birds and the like know enough to fear humans cause we sorta tended to eat on them until like 150 years ago when our diet really narrowed down. but you bring a non predatory pet(ie not a dog or cat, we hunted with dogs almost as long as we walked on 2 legs and cats still hunt everything in your yard and kill it horribly and slowly for absolutely no reason) out with you and they start showing up. like when I’d be outside with my tame squirrel. suddenly BIRDS. I even saw rabbits just chilling like nothing was wrong about 10-20 feet away.
woodelves almost only contact humans when they’re slaughtering a village and filling it with willows, but if theres people with them they probably aren’t doing that so the fear reaction goes down a bit.
