Experience shows that bird parents do feed babies in makeshift nests reattached to tree branches, bushes, gutters, and even tree cavity sections duct taped to another tree. Mites will eventually kill the bird. Wild bird rehabilitators want bird parents to feed their own babies. After all, “Mother knows best.”

In many cases, myself included, the desire manifests itself in less apparent ways than going out and killing something for the trophy wall. I don’t need to kill something to feel the rush of the hunt. For me there are few experiences more satisfying than releasing a fish that has put up a great fight. It consumes me.

Additionally, Cathartes vultures are unable to grab, kill, and carry a prey item with their feed. What is unusual here is that these vultures may be sniffing for large invertebrates as their feet are no help when it comes to grab and kill a small mammal. Their feed are more like that of a Wood Stork. This is pure speculation.

My extensive birding experience allows me to be very confident that the bird below is a Rosefinch. Different from the last time I saw it, this time the Rufous-vented Tit was much more willing to show its “vent” (an ornithological word essentially meaning “ass”). It is indeed rufous-ish.

Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way? Why kill and maim and waste taxpayer dollars--or any dollars--on such things? My objection is: Why do such research when you don't need to? This is where I'm confused.
