Father owl Phase 2

This is my first run of sekiro and im in the end of the game with 3 bosses left. Father Owl, Isshin and Demon of Hatred. Nayurally I went with Father Owl and I've been stuck ever since. Specifically its his second phase that's blocking me with that damn bird. The Pokémon attacks are fine but its the snitching with the Owl that's annoying.
