What do you do when you – a citizen whose rights are protected by the U.S. This is what we need for birds, whose rights as government-protected species are violated every day by free-roaming cats.

The drongo perches above the flock, snatching insects that they disturb, and keeping an eye out for predators that might go unnoticed by its hunting flock-mates. The associated bird species seek out drongos, apparently relying upon them heavily for protection. It very effectively forms a small foraging group in this manner.

It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds. We politically worship them, but at the same time we’ve severely decreased the numbers of many species by hunting and habitat loss.

Wildlife conservation is concerned with protecting wildlife at the level of species or perhaps population. This is quite a big deal for an island group that had no mammals save bats for millions of years. But animal rights groups (albeit not all of them) not only opposed the move, but sued to prevent the poisoning.
