Every part of the world has it’s suite of parking lot staples, those urbanish species that seem to prefer to linger about humanity subsisting in no small amount to the magnanimity, or more likely the laziness, of humankind. And in parts of the Rockies, Clark’s Nutcracker reigns supreme.
However, it is only a short taxi ride away from the airport where most travelers will arrive at – better to see birds instead of just eating fastfood while waiting for a connecting flight. Like many humans, it is presumed to be monogamous (source: HBW). Another pigeon at Tanjung Aru beach is the Pink-necked Green Pigeon.
Fastfood containers are popular. “An “Almost restores your faith in humanity!” “Two wildlife biologists brought me a Golden Eagle inside a metal pipe.” wrote Debbie Souza-Pappas in Utah. They were out in the field doing surveys and they found him. What are the odds? They had nothing else to put him in.”.

The bird on the photo is one of the estimated 3500-15,000 individuals still alive according to the HBW – a frightening thought given the (too) large number of humans, of which there are about 1 million times more (and of course, each of which weighs 5000 times more than the flycatcher).
And I suspect that people become vegetarians for precisely that reason: that by doing so they overcome the residue of guilt that attaches to every form of hubris, and in particular to the hubris of human freedom. I believe, however, that there is another remedy, and one more in keeping with the Judaeo-Christian tradition.
