I wonder how many birds die by collisions with wind turbines 😢

@Animallovercomedian Жыл бұрын

@@LivingMyBestLifeIAm there’s data on that. According to the Sierra Club, it’s ~ a million of birds a year in the US. But actually 6x that die from hitting communication towers and 25x that die from hitting power lines. Wind turbines are usually places away from bird migration routes, while power lines kind of go anywhere people are. But by far the biggest cause of bird fatality in the US is free range domestic cats, who kill several billion yearly. So if you’re worried about the birds, keep your cat inside or give them a collar designed to scare away birds and help out your local cat shelter.

In addition soy is one of the most common allergies, and many other disabled and chronically ill people would become severely malnourished if we went solely plant based.

Im not gonna fight evolution. We undoubtedly treat animals and nature terribly but im never gonna stop eating meat. Im gonna change how and where I get it. We were made to eat a balanced diet of whatever we came across is the wild, provided it doesnt make us sick. Thats why humans can eat such a wide range of things. Animals cant touch the majority of what we eat, like garlic, onions, grapes and many more. And animals that evolved to eat only veggies/fruits dont have sharp teeth and powerfup digestive systems like wo do. Do what you want but dont preach veganism like it makes you a good person because it doesnt. Objectively it makes you a denier who takes the shortcut to a problem because its honestly easier to call people bad then try to change the way they think about serious issues like overpopulation.

@NeilHiggins2187 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah I've heard this argument as well with lizards. There are some species (bearded dragons being one that I can independently verify, I used to work in an exotic pet store) that bob their heads quite often, usually while they are basking, which would rule out them doing it to stabilized their eyesight since they weren't moving in the first place. I supposed it could be both with pigeons though.

When they're standing still they'll sometimes move their heads around to gain better depth perception; Owls do this as well! You probably do it unconsciously when you're looking at something and can't quite gauge how far away it is, if you move your head around slightly the parallax relative to nearby objects helps you determine its distance.

I bred and sold white doves for awhile, and one of the final steps in a female deciding to bond with a certain male is by her tasting his milk. He might be strong and sexy as hell (to a female white dove), but if his milk isn't good enough to help feed the babies, she'll reject him. They take exactly 12 hour shifts in sitting on the eggs, and they're both so devoted that when it's time to switch, the parent that's been sitting kind of has to be shoved out of the nest by the parent who's turn it is to sit. There are times when neither one wants a break from sitting on the eggs, and they'll both sit on the nest together. They're very sweet, loving, intelligent birds.

I am a middle-aged farmer near the finger lakes of upstate NY. As a kid, I liked to watch red-tailed hawks swoop down and catch mice from the field as we were removing hay. So a field with knee high or waist high legumes and grasses would be cut to 6 or 7 centimeters. Hawks learned to exploit those fields currently getting worked for the easy sighting and hunting. Four decades later hawks have largely been replaced by crows and gulls eating mice from those fields.

I give pigeons exactly as much credit as they deserve, being probably my second or third favorite animal. I hate that people treat them like common pests, especially since we literally brought them to the US as companions in the first place.. and as food, but mostly companions. We also drove the native species to extinction. I made friends with a flock living in my porch roof, and they're such wonderful little birds.

Hey, y'all are usually excellent about captioning your videos but this one only has autocaptions, which are definitely not fully accurate and lack the formatting that make captions easy to read. (Seriously, "goal" and "girl" were used in place of "gull", a *lot*....it was very confusing)

Wanna get back at seagulls just a bit? Buy some hot chips/fries. Drive to the beach. Throw a chip or 2 out of your window and up high so the gulls will see it. When the gulls arrive place a chip on your dash as close to the windscreen as possible without risking it falling down a vent etc. Now turn on your windscreen wipers and enjoy the show.

I'm a delivery driver and a solid 50% of my deliveries are to apartment complexes, many of which have carport style parking spots for tenants. Every time I go to those I can't help but think "why are there not solar panels on those?" This video makes the point that building the canopies would be costly at first. These are already built. Seems like a pretty high incentive for a smart apt complex owner to install the solar panels and offer FREE electricity (or at least drastically reduced).

In French speaking cultures, the owl is associated with all that is excellent and outstanding. A colloquial adjective in French for anything that is extra good is also the word for owl itself, "chouette." An owl is "une chouette" but anything that is excellent or awesome is described as "chouette" as in "Hey, I just found a new job!" "Really? Chouette!"

Owls seem like badass killers and hunters until you live near them. Yes, they can track a mouse from absolutely YONKS away, but somehow they will find new and creative ways to run face-first into trees, barns, parked cars, people, and pretty much everything else around. They're delightfully derpy birds.

My favorite bird solely for the facts is the murder birds! Why because when they attack Wright whales that are new born they havent, the baby whales learned to defend themselves by flipping them off! It creates a very funny visual of adult whales giving the bird to birds in self defence!
