Birds Everywhere!!!!

[bobbymalone]

I don't bother with feeding them in the spring and summer anyway.  Not that it's really spring yet.  But my bird feeder gets replaced with the duck house as soon as the backyard pond opens up.

Holy shiat, you guys are brutal. Contributing to the thousands of birds dying daily right now in this state. Just because they might be dying out of eyesight means it isn't happening?

Farking brutal.

 

Wow, so that's all it takes for you to buy in is a few News reports?  Where's all the proof of these 1000's of dying birds off in the bushes.  You would think a few would kack off around the 1000's of heartless bastards that feed them feeders since so many are around them!  Not happening.  

May be we should all just break out the shotguns and help the DNR thin the herd, like every time someone finds a Deer with CWD! 

Go be silly!   

Off to Fleet Farm for more seed!

This might be one of those times posting a link might help the cause.  I mean, if you care as much as it seems.  
 

You mentioned you wouldn’t care if you were proven wrong on political things.  Maybe this is worth the time?

[Duffman]

It's a simple thing to do, take down the feeders until warmer weather arrives and this thing supposedly dies down.

And it does hit the birds I am more fond of...............waterfowl and raptors.

Billions...............billions of birds die in this country every year, and how often do you actually find dead birds?

 

And here we have folks actually boasting about not doing shiat about something that could help the things they supposedly care about.

 

It rings very hollow.

Good point, we're told there's millions of starving and dying hungry children which 1000's of nonprofits are collecting money and every food chain is collecting tons of food to feed.   But where are they all, where are the long lines for food or full hospitals of dying starving kids?  May be their in the bushes dying with the birds and Big foot.  Believe what you want, about what ever you want. The News agencies are hardly trust worthy anymore and The Raptor Center although doing some good things, is not a Governing agency.  Just another nonprofit- looking for profits.  I'll wait for some facts and proof then another Bigfoot report.

I'm going to take it he took a punch at me in particular, and I'm fine with it. 

 

I to care about raptors and eagles, hell we've had an eagles nest on the cabin lake for years and watching them raise there young .

 

Channel 4 news had a report also online and they stated the DNR at this time has no reports of small birds dying.

Bird flu is in our county but most people talking about it are the poultry farmers.

 

I did hear someone comment they told their kid if they went turkey hunting and got one, to just leave it lay, don’t bring it home.  I kinda had an issue with that.

 

There isn’t a documented case of it passing from the birds to people.

 

I guess I just haven’t seen much info on the current status of its saturation so I can’t say much more.

[chaffmj]

I thought Duffman was joking and if he wasn't take this [PoorWordUsage] to sillytown.     Anyways I quite putting out birdseed at the end of March every year because that is when bears start to visit them in my yard.

then why shoot one? I have a problem with people that shoot things, then throw them away. I only hunt what I use. I used to hunt ducks, the most fun ever, but I don't like eating them, so I stopped. its just grouse now.

that being said, I hate turkeys, there should be a open season on these in areas they don't belong ( northern mn ) and let who ever wants to shoot one, go ahead. I do think they do affect the grouse numbers, the DNR are 100% wrong on this. there are reports that turkeys will kill a grouse nest if its near there own nest.

I've been up all night!

How could you sleep with millions of birds dying you heartless bast-erd?  

[smurfy]

[bobberineyes]

Everything I've read it hasn't affected song birds. We yanked the feeders the other day in the high wind, cleaned em up and put em back out. If the 2 mallards come back I'll consider pulling them, but for now feed away I say!! 

[smurfy]

i just got back from fleet farm...and there bird food shelves re stocked plenty well, so they arent listening well either!!!!!!!!

[smurfy]
