      @@LivingMyBestLifeIAm there’s data on that. According to the Sierra Club, it’s ~ a million of birds a year in the US. But actually 6x that die from hitting communication towers and 25x that die from hitting power lines. Wind turbines are usually places away from bird migration routes, while power lines kind of go anywhere people are. But by far the biggest cause of bird fatality in the US is free range domestic cats, who kill several billion yearly. So if you’re worried about the birds, keep your cat inside or give them a collar designed to scare away birds and help out your local cat shelter.

      Im not gonna fight evolution. We undoubtedly treat animals and nature terribly but im never gonna stop eating meat. Im gonna change how and where I get it. We were made to eat a balanced diet of whatever we came across is the wild, provided it doesnt make us sick. Thats why humans can eat such a wide range of things. Animals cant touch the majority of what we eat, like garlic, onions, grapes and many more. And animals that evolved to eat only veggies/fruits dont have sharp teeth and powerfup digestive systems like wo do.
      Do what you want but dont preach veganism like it makes you a good person because it doesnt. Objectively it makes you a denier who takes the shortcut to a problem because its honestly easier to call people bad then try to change the way they think about serious issues like overpopulation.

Have some experience doing that around our tiny little boat in the marina. Birds like boats, particularly cormorants who love to perch on the spreaders and eat (& poop) very messily. Starlings are nearly as bad as they hang off the shrouds.

      Yeah I've heard this argument as well with lizards. There are some species (bearded dragons being one that I can independently verify, I used to work in an exotic pet store) that bob their heads quite often, usually while they are basking, which would rule out them doing it to stabilized their eyesight since they weren't moving in the first place. I supposed it could be both with pigeons though.

      @@orionthewildhunt9173 Yes, it's both. The bobbing while walking is to stabilize their vision, you can see similar behavior in chickens. When they're standing still they'll sometimes move their heads around to gain better depth perception; Owls do this as well! You probably do it unconsciously when you're looking at something and can't quite gauge how far away it is, if you move your head around slightly the parallax relative to nearby objects helps you determine its distance.

    I bred and sold white doves for awhile, and one of the final steps in a female deciding to bond with a certain male is by her tasting his milk. He might be strong and sexy as hell (to a female white dove), but if his milk isn't good enough to help feed the babies, she'll reject him. They take exactly 12 hour shifts in sitting on the eggs, and they're both so devoted that when it's time to switch, the parent that's been sitting kind of has to be shoved out of the nest by the parent who's turn it is to sit. There are times when neither one wants a break from sitting on the eggs, and they'll both sit on the nest together. They're very sweet, loving, intelligent birds.

    I am a middle-aged farmer near the finger lakes of upstate NY. As a kid, I liked to watch red-tailed hawks swoop down and catch mice from the field as we were removing hay. So a field with knee high or waist high legumes and grasses would be cut to 6 or 7 centimeters. Hawks learned to exploit those fields currently getting worked for the easy sighting and hunting.
    Four decades later hawks have largely been replaced by crows and gulls eating mice from those fields.

    Wanna get back at seagulls just a bit? Buy some hot chips/fries. Drive to the beach. Throw a chip or 2 out of your window and up high so the gulls will see it. When the gulls arrive place a chip on your dash as close to the windscreen as possible without risking it falling down a vent etc. Now turn on your windscreen wipers and enjoy the show.

    I hate that people treat them like common pests, especially since we literally brought them to the US as companions in the first place.. and as food, but mostly companions. We also drove the native species to extinction.
    I made friends with a flock living in my porch roof, and they're such wonderful little birds.

    Ravens also have mimicing abilities. Although apparently they like to mimic high pitched and energetic sounds like car alarms or the words that come out of your mouth when you stub your toe, so handlers discourage speech.
