I have received countless numbers of wild birds mangled and/or killed by outdoor/feral cats, such as the Orange-crowned Warbler pictured here. Can you convince yourselves that your cat does not kill birds, when statistics show pet cats only bring home 23% of their kills? Is it the fault of the cats?

Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources. I can also remember the fleas they brought home to share with us and the wounds they would get from unknown sources. Attention : They are your pets so pet them! Play with them!

The Crested Serpent-eagle is not a vulture, but that does not keep me from mentioning a recent Economist article here, “The sudden demise of Indian vultures killed thousands of people” And while this article is behind a paywall, the original research paper is not.

When I asked for one in a German pet shop, they just laughed at me. However, the German name for this species – “Südlicher Gelbschnabeltoko” – sounds suspiciously made up. Wahlberg’s Eagle is named after the Swedish naturalist Johan August Wahlberg who first started studying chemistry (!)

They pointed out the puncture wounds, likely infected with bacteria that could quickly kill. But, we’re facing a world of shrinking biodiversity and depressingly-high bird kill numbers that demand an accounting outside of our self interest. They simply helped me with my bird.
