Stop it. You know better. These are the white chinese, they always live one neighborhood over from the white hispanics.

Memphis is thick with Falcons. We have a breeding pair right in our neighborhood. They were brought in to cull the pigeons, which in their 40 years post introduction period, have done very well. We have thousands of them. Too small to carry off a full grown squirrel, so they cut em in half and haul them off in sections. Murder on snakes too. Pets are too big for them except kittens. Feral kittens don’t last long!

Apparently the bigger birds do not like to live in diverse neighborhoods.
Probably heard about the illegals shooting and eating big birds.

In a year of unmitigated absurdity, this may just take the cake.

Even without redlining, it was very difficult for birds to get mortgages ...

That’s it exactly. Residents of the wealthier areas — i.e., whites and Asians — are far more likely to have well-tended gardens and inviting green spaces, not to mention bird feeders, nectar for hummingbirds, etc. Of course birds will prefer these luxury accommodations to the bleak landscape of the barrio and ghetto.

Denying a loan to an unqualified POC is “racial profiling.”
Approving a loan to an unqualified POC is “predatory lending.”
See how that works?

“wealthier, and typically whiter, areas attract a larger and more diverse population of birds.”
Causing white flight, I imagine.

House sparrows tend to stay put all year while native songbirds migrate.
