Where I am from, they have arrested for misusing 911. What she did, would in the State of Florida when she accused [falsely has it turned out]him of threatening her would have been a crime. [making a false crime report; and or misuse of emergencies] her phone number would have been traced back to her and she would have gotten a visit from a City Policeman/woman or Sheriff's Deputy. Who would not have been amused. Since she lives in New York City she can do it and get away with it. She is very fortunate.

Not specifically; worked for a veterinary outfit some time ago and read a lot. There is a myth than birds cannot smell, but it has been researched and found that birds do smell, according to Audubon Magazine: https://www.audubon.org/magazine/january-february-2014/birds-can-smell-and-one-scientist

Also, articles about dog behavior mention their prey behavior towards birds:

So it stands to reason that the highly intelligent birds, whose habits are to migrate thousands of miles and return to the same spot, to mate for life, and to roost in familiar spots, would also be able to determine areas where dogs or other predators are marking territory, and stay away.

I agree completely. I live in the northern edge of the south and formerly lived for a long time in the north; but family lives all over the south and I go south frequently to visit. The comparison is striking. Southerners are much more polite overall and more apt to carry forward received Christian social virtues when possible, including peaceful interaction between the races.
