10,000 Birds

JANUARY 7, 2023

I try not to talk too much with my long-suffering congregation about birds. And I have protected and cared for other native plants that have turned up on their own, particularly granjenos , which have now begun to produce their first tasty red fruits.

” The Public Trust Doctrine (PTD) is the principle that certain resources are preserved for public use, and that the government is required to maintain them for the public’s reasonable use.

I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans. This is irksome, as the premise is that we need to save the animals (and which ones is an interesting discussion) because we will suffer if they are gone. Those are the final words of the book.

So, back in the 1980s, biologists looked into bird nesting behavior and seemingly showed that some birds put certain plants into their nests in order to reduce the parasite load they might otherwise suffer, especially in nesting sites that were repeatedly reused.
