lol.
My vehicles are inside so the birds don’t get ‘em.
But I do hate the migrating grackles that try to take over the yard.
I have killed various scavenging animals and some birds too...last winter during a bad stretch I was trying to keep some little feral cats alive and was putting food out for ‘em.
I won’t name the birds that were trying to hog the kibble but I knocked a few off them off the fencepost with my little 10/22...then the cats ate THEM until the raccoons started coming, and one day...one day I pulled into the yard and I thought it was a MAN standing down there by the food dish.
Got out of the vehicle and a bald eagle lifted off the fencepost, big as a piece of the sky, with one of the bird carcasses in his beak!
But that’s nature. Lots of suffering, lots of killing. The carnage never stops. And anytime you try to intervene there are consequences. Thos little white cats didn’t make it, so far as I could tell.
Never ate a coyote. Hope I never have to. Had to kill a couple out in Idaho and the big golden eagles came for them. Amazing.

You aint just kidding, look up “Golden Eagle Kills Wolf’ on youtube- there are some absolutely incredible videos of eagles hinting and killing wolves- these birds are absolutely fearless warriors- was dumbfounded when I stumbled across those videos- I never knew goldens were such predators
“...big as a piece of the sky”
Nice turn of phrase. I notice these things. :)
