That is a bummer, good try.

I remember one time when I was at UMASS I am parked in my car waiting to pick someone up and I look out onto the grass a little way away from and I see 5 male ducks attacking a female duck and raping her! Not kidding!! The ducks were holding the female down while one did the business on her, I got out of the car and scared them away to stop it, crazy stuff in the wild sometimes!

That's a bummer, I know the feeling. Now I hate squirrels, but several years ago I was driving through a very wealthy neighborhood and saw a flock of crows
attacking and picking up a baby squirrel to carry it away while the others watched.

I jumped out of my car in the middle of the street and started yelling and waving my arms as the crow dropped him and he ran up the tree. The crows wouldn't leave and started diving at him again so I ran to the car, traffic stopped behind me ,and kept blowing my horn until it scared the crows off.

People must of thought I was nuts. Like I said I hate squirrels but I hate ganging up on the helpless more.

ask johnr or ross to tell the story about the seagull snatching up a baby rabbit at cutty and dropping it and smashing it on the rocks.

Nature doesn't care about cute, cuddly or fair!
Nature craves carnage, whether it be a large carnivore or a small herbivore. That's why they say "survival of the fittest" instead of "mean birds picking on furry little animals".

Hows this for karma: I see crows, up to a dozen, harassing a red-tailed hawk. They chased it out of town, and I mean relentlessly chased it out of town NON STOP!

Then I see smaller birds band together and harass a crow away from their nesting sites. Bluejays, cardinals, mocking birds, grackles, cowbirds and even the finches and chickadees all had a hand in driving the crow away.


Now I wish there were a "natural" way to drive away the geese and cormorants from many of our fishing spots.
Nothing beats the smell of festering bird crap on a hot spring/summer day to turn you off from fishing that spot!

Watched green sea turtles hatching on some nature channel recently, talk about feeding frenzy, birds diving and snatching them off the beach and shallows. No wonder their first instinct as soon as their little heads break free of the eggs and nest is to run like hell to the water.
