They ate all my blueberries this year. I'm going to keep doubling the plants until there is enough left for me.

In an ecosystem I think more roads might just work

Laura Jarman from the National Trust said the birds were "so cute, we don't mind too much"

Blackbirds? TIL the SR-71 can run off berries

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

If they're fermented I suppose it could! It probably could never run again, but maybe once lol

My dad is a pensioner now, and got put in a lovely bungalow by local housing association. It came with with a lovely garden, and he was really excited by the prospect of a cherry tree.

Well, the cherries are ready, and the birds ate the lot!

I used to have a cherry tree in my garden. I was sitting in the branches picking cherries, when I saw a blackbird (not an SR-71) sitting on the outer twigs eating cherries I couldn’t reach. He had a look in his eye that said “these are my cherries and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

Then a sparrowhawk took him out in front of me and ate him. That’ll teach him.

Fuckass bird thinks he can eat my sweet cherries

That’s what I always thought about in zombie movies: birds would make short work of any zombie outbreak.

What makes you think birds wouldn't still recognize moving zombies as a potential threat just like living humans or any other larger animal and just stay clear of them? Also, the possibility of zoonosis isn't all that far fetched either, resulting in zombie birds also spreading the plague

Mao, burning in hell: Same

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Used to have a cherry tree, can relate

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Same, the birds would take most of them.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Birds are why the trees make the fruit anyway.

[–] fern@lemmy.autism.place 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not exactly, bugs and mammals play their parts too!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll give you mammals, but bugs are mostly shit at carrying seeds around.

[–] fern@lemmy.autism.place 1 points 1 year ago

Ah but the bugs polinate, which is why they're there!

Truly a day that will be remembered.
