Though the presence of magic inhibits the reproductive drive of the reticula, it seems to have a comforting effect on the recently hatched squalls. Unfortunately, the tendency of the adult reticula to devour any magical creature in its vicinity requires a speedy and complete relocation of the nest..."

I like this. It's a good way around the ridiculousness of your challenge.
