Don't get me wrong, I love birds. I have feeders and encourage every species that I can (no Starlings, Grackles or Canada Geese, though, lol) to enhabit my property.
But, this is ludicrous. How many sparrows die in a day from colliding with cars or plate glass windows? What is the lifespan of a sparrow, anyway, two years?
These people are doomed if there is ever an economic collapse that would force them to huntfor sustenance. They're just too sensitive to survive.
Laden or unladen?
