- newsclues 5y agoHow many people are thoughtful? Beyond themselves…
- hetspookjee 5y agoI’m amazed at the fact that nearly everyone around me really despises the Eurasian Magpie, the only bird so smart that it is able to recognise itself in the mirror. Yet the myth that they exclusively prey on young birds and rob their nests presses onwards and everyone dislikes them. If they’d dissappear from the land and you’d tell them, most people would be happy, of which quite some I consider thoughtful. Trying to say that even thoughtful people can be extremely shortsighted. Look around you, how many people still visit zoo’s with primates? Or marinas with cretaceans? All these extremely clever animals trapped in a desperately small enclosure yet so many still think it’s fine to visit them and enable this. All in all I think quite some people would, sadly, be happy with the news that a stinging bug is gone.
- hammock 5y ago>the myth that they exclusively prey on young birds and rob their nests Sparrows do this. They are an invasive species and overtake native songbird population. Never seen anyone hate sparrows. Magpies, people do hate them, not sure why but they are a type of "trash bird" near population centers.

Surreal.
