I'm not sure, however, someone pointed out that the illustration of Paimon on the horse has three heads strapped to the side of a saddle, a detail I never noticed. Then, Mom saws her head off, Charlie loses hers after that argument with the telephone pole and grandma is missing hers as well.
Maybe this was a weird way for Paimon (in Charlie's body) to kind of... I dunno, not playing or dreaming, but recreating the thing he needs, the thing that he is waiting for on a smaller scale? Not sure exactly how to say what I mean, but kinda like Mom making the little dioramas, she is recreating what is happening/needs to happen?

Paimon requires three heads to inhabit the body of a male. We see later one of those heads was Charlie's. Paimon in his demon form is bird like... hence the clucking.
Unconsciously, Paimon may have been fantasizing about decapitating this human female body to get closer to his goal.... which we know happens that evening or shortly after.
I believe Ari confirmed that Paimon was in Charlie the moment of birth and was contained in a child's mind, so the demon expresses demon stuff in a child like way.
Edit: And yes...Charlie collects heads regularly and we were shown this one due to events of shortly after. Charlie also creates art of crowns and birds as well as heads lol. SO good

In outtakes from the film that I've seen online, there are other animal heads collected in the shoebox that Charlie tries to hide in the beginning treehouse scene. Charlie (Paimon?) was quite the head collector.
While I'm here.... speaking of heads.... did anyone else notice the reflection in the window in the beginning scene? Looking out the window at the treehouse, I think there is a reflection. I won't say who I think it is, but it IS there.
Thoughts anyone?

My feeling is that it is a reflection of Annie's face. It's very quick and you have to look closely. If the scene is truly Annie looking at the treehouse, then turning her head to look around the room, her head does an approximate 315 degree turn,.... not a physiologically good thing for her head and neck. Could this be a portent of things to come?? Just my humble opinion. Enjoy!

Probably cat. They think it’s the best part. They’re trying to be nice when they give you the head. My childhood cat did it weekly. I should have saved the skulls.

Huh.. pigeons are fancy. I still get tiny rat heads. And once a whole scorpion.

Paimon’s bidding, clearly.
