Birds are dumb and annoying

[BmillsSkier]

I wonder whatever happened to DigitalDrew and DIY Steve?

We're really lacking a go-to ornithologist with those two out.

Easy there young core shooter.

So the jays I mentioned on page 2 have decided to nest on our house. They tried nesting on top of a motion light, on the ribs of a deck umbrella, and on a beam over the front door--I'd be ok with the latter if they didn't shit on the front door step. So I chase them away by taking down the beginnings of the nest if I can reach it, or by spraying them with a water gun, but it usually takes weeks before they get the message and go elsewhere. There are plenty of trees they can nest in but it seems these birds are soft and want a roof over their heads. They have done this 3 years in a row. OTOH it is fun to watch the pair work together and it turns out they have other calls besides the annoying squawk.

Last summer I watched a bald eagle chasing an osprey for 15 minutes--the osprey didn't have a fish. But a little while later I saw the osprey chasing the eagle. Is it possible they were playing?

Ravens and Crows are my favorite birds

They’re amazing. Make tools, trade items, recognize individual human faces… so many things we don’t even know. Hella smart and if you ask me, very handsome.

We have this brain damaged bird attacking the windows. Sparrow or a ginch? Looked like it may have been a female going to nest in our bird house under the eves. Well, protective instincts kick in, and she (it) keeps attacking that bird in the window. Now there's feathers and bird spit all over the 4 windows on the back of the house! I took the bird house down yesterday, but this retarded bird won't stop!
First I tried some blue painters tape, she attacked between the tape, then started pulling the tape off. Next I cover the window with cardboard, that's when she started going after the other windows...
It's pellet gun time I'm afraid

Print out some photos of cats and tape them on the insides of the windows.

Real cats in the windows haven't done shit

Now I know why the term "bird brain" is so derogatory

I'm getting a Super Soaker!

Jays are Corvids. Not all corvids are smart.

Birds are less annoying than squirrels. Fuck squirrels.

No one has been claiming Homo spp are smart. Most cannot use tools. And individuals walk into and through glass doors frequently. Sometimes on purpose.

Seem pretty smart, they built a nice nest in your entryway, it’s even protected from the elements

I put my head through a window in my high school in 11th grade. It was an accident.

I wish you had told us sooner.

How would that change anything?

We would have had more sympathy.
BTW, the Alta Peruvian served poutine as a lunch option last week but alas I did not try it.

As to the OP, Crosby was a dick, but McGuinn and the rest were ok

Agree. While squirrels are cuter, they are incredibly dumb. They are overpopulated along the creek where my local MTB trails are. They run towards my wheels. Like everytime. Every other animal runs from a threat. These dumb little fuckers run towards it. Ain't no birds flying at me.

Do you hit the brakes? Is it possible you could go over the handlebars braking to avoid hitting one? They have a plan.

Squirrels aren't dumb. Common misconception. Squirrels are conniving agents of chaos. They are evil.

I did that in 7th grade. It was an accident too

It's fun when they get caught in your wheel. Been there, done that. It sucked. It's even worse when one of the overpopulated deer takes you out broadside after your buddy in front of you spooks it.
