Mainly because I hate crows. But there is also alot of drama happening above our heads each day that most people don’t notice.

I see it quite a bit in my neighborhood. Always laugh when I see one or two of them hounding a crow.

Saw a hawk harassing a buzzard the other day. Had never seen that before. It was like a dogfight between an F-35 and a B-52.

It's funny until I walk to my mailbox and see all the bird crap from the mockingbirds. Then I want to eliminate all of them.

I once saw a Northern Pygmy Owl out in the mountains of Arizona. The only reason I noticed it was that there were close to 10 hummingbirds zipping around a pine tree, as well as a variety of other birds. At the center was the owl. Small birds HATE owls and the hummingbirds were harassing the hell out of it. Not something I expected to see but pretty cool.

The last 2 months my mailbox has been full of bird shite after never having that issue before. Pressure washed it off a couple of times only to be full of shite again a day or 2 later. Haven't caught the culprits in the act, but I have a pellet gun ready for if/when I happen to see them perched on the mailbox.

Yeah,that is cool,but my favorite is when they attack a chicken snake that is trying to rob the nests in a tree.

It gets intense.

Crows are cool.
So are Mockingbirds.

Mockingbirds are Starlings’ bitches though.

Starlings


I never knew this until a month or so ago but Starlings are native to Europe and are in America because some guy in New York released 100 of them in to Central Park. He wanted every bird that Shakespeare mentioned to be in America.

I had one dive bomb my arse for 4 straight days last week while walking across the yard to feed my dog, then it suddenly stopped. Went check on my satsumas since then and seen feathers on the ground. Apparently I've been walking too close to a baby, cat might've got it though.

Crows are usually jerks. I recall as a kid seeing a crow bully a sparrow (or finch) off some area the sparrow was trying to pick at some food. The little bird tried to put up a fight, but the crow wasn't having it. Then about 8 or 10 of the little bird's posse showed up and they worked that crow for a solid 5 or 10 minutes before he departed the area.

Good times...

Just learned this recently myself.
Can’t stand those birds.

He missed his chance to find a mate this season. Cut him a little slack.

Where I used to work there was a crow that would sit on cars and pull windshield wiper blades out and move to next car. There were blades all over the ground
