Help! Sparrow nesting in Decorative Bird house?! (1 Viewer)

Must be a american speciality?

How about click the link to see for yourself, instead of keep running your mouth and suggesting genocide?

So where's the proof that house sparrows have "capacity for suffering akin to our own", or did you just make it up and drag in previously unmentioned cats to sensationalize your argument?

And I don't have bluebirds here, so there goes your revenge accusation.

C'mon, learn to read. I didn't assert a fact needing "proof" but simply stated an opinion ("not improbably"). And be honest. I didn't introduce bluebirds into the discussion or attempt to "sensationalize" anything, you did, with the frothing-at-the-mouth Sialis link.

Some friendly advice. Next time make an effort to understand what you're responding to before shooting off your mouth.

Great, what you expect from a website who´s advertising the extermination of the House Sparrow in the US?
Read "Aggression of breeding eastern bluebirds (Sialia sialis) toward their mates and models of intra-and interspecific intruders" and you´ll be surprised.
But that´s a scientific paper and not only a opinion of a single woman running a website.

Exactly. Well said.

Oh, I get it, squashing a cockroach or poisoning a feral cat is all the same to you.

Funny you should give that advice, consider you just twisted my post to suit yourself. You dragged in the cat, I responded that you are sensationalizing, but now you are saying it's the bluebirds.

Personally I don't care what sialis.org is about, like I said I don't have bluebirds here (which you conveniently ignored), but the photos and videos on that website are real, unless you can prove otherwise.

I'm not paying $35 to read a paper that's older than me unless you can provide a PDF. Nothing in the abstract shows anything useful, and you refuse to summarize the results.

Like I said, the photos and videos are real regardless which website they are from, unless you can prove otherwise.

Then again, I guess I can't expect much from you, consider your logic thinks removal of pest is equivalent of mass genocide, not to mention that you are European and has no place in this argument.

Well Roman (aka Stonechat1), I think it's obvious by now that we're wasting our time with this incoherent clown who is clearly incapable of rational discussion. So, what do you say, maybe we should just bow out at this point and let him have the last word?

Agree, he don´t even recognise that bird conservation doesn´t stop at the US - border.

We have one of those decorative houses too. This year we have a house wren taking up residence and by the sound of all the tweeting inside I think we have some little wrens too. They'll nest in all sorts of places, so good to have them in the little house than somewhere the nest is more at risk like a mailbox.

... you are European and has no place in this argument.

What an intellectual response!

What relevance is the location of the poster - are non-locals incapable of understanding issues in other parts of the world?

You are from Canada, yet support your argument with a species that, as you agree, doesn't even occur in your region. Thus, you resort to examples from the U.S. - is a European not equally capable of reading such websites as you are?

You know what, like they said, arguing on the internet is like the special olympics, so never mind I'll just go shoot some house sparrows in your honor.














Just kidding, I don't shoot them.















Or am I...
