10,000 Birds

APRIL 18, 2021

I am so happy to be back on 10,000 birds – I have missed Mike and Corey and my fellow Beat Writers! Normally I rant about environmental dangers and describe heartwarming/mind-boggling/headscratching wild bird rescues. “Almost restores your faith in humanity!” I hope you got a generous donation!”

Crows, who are probably the most larcenous birds on earth, make off with anything they can get their beaks on. The crow in the photograph above is unreleasable and lives at Teatown Lake Reservation in New York. The crows are not friendly to humans, although they sometimes make an exception for the person who raised them.

I haven’t found any articles on Atlantic Coast birds being injured by these dangerous mussels (which are also not very tasty to humans), so I’m thinking that our birds somehow know better. And, that ribbed mussels are only a threat in areas where they are invasive and birds don’t have this innate knowledge.
