I don’t know if I'm imaging this. But recently I've noticed threads about birds causing problem started more frequently. Am I imagining this. There seems to be a lot more threads started about this, but not started by any of the members who've posted on here for years. But by various new members of this forum. I hope it’s just my invagination or has anyone else noticed this. I didn't want to start this thread, but I've noticed this happening a lot more regularly in recent weeks/month’s. Please tell me I'm wrong or has anyone noticed this recently
We do seem to go through phases where we get lots of calls/cries for help with respect to bird behaviour, and now is probably a very prominent time.
Me personally, welcome those calls/cries for help, because often those asking, want to understand what is going on and if possible can anything be done about it. If the poster grasps the picture and understands what and why, then that is a bonus in my book and often, many do manage to move on in a positive way.
Often, nothing can be done, its nature, particularly this time of year when many birds are trying to protect their young who will now be getting ready to venture out in the big bad world, safe as as possible.
And lets face it, if you have a family, you would do what you can to protect your children and give them the best start you can.
So does nature.
DartRay said:Guilty as charged Ian! However, my thread was/is about a 'delinquent' Herring Gull that 'ground nested' with his mate in an 'impossible situation' for their successful 'procreation' within a 'human', 'herring gull' and 'urban predator' environment. The 'urban predator' prevailed in this/that case. :( This is a 'natural progression' of events during the 'mating season'. However, you seem to not know these events/parameters. How can I help?
Ian! It's 'that time of year! How do you talk to a seagull? Kind regards, Ray Dart.
There os no such thing as a Seagull! Gulls Yes!
