Avian-themed teams simply don’t do very well in the big game. Teams named for Homo sapiens historically do better in this game.

For humans, you have the drama of sister wives. Scientists from the University of Exeter in England and the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) found that having more females in the group makes each individual female a little less stressed about watching out for threats, and more able to forage in prep for breeding.

Humans have not helped. Letting cattle trample upon the riverbanks, or promoting game animals and eliminating predators until the populations of elk and deer munch the stream-sides bare, also cut back on the replacement rate of the big trees.

If you are a bad hunting partner and do not flush enough game, the raptor will fly off when released and not return. Falconers must always keep their birds somewhat wild so if they get separated or the bird flies off never to return, it can still survive on it’s own without human intervention.

"environmentalists" would have to value the life of an Atlantic salmon more than the life of a human because, in environmental terms, there are too few Atlantic salmons and far too many humans.

Of course, the fact of the matter is that you provide the food in your household, or one of the other humans does.
