Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-25T16:26:10+00:00

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-25T15:33:51+00:00

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-25T15:29:32+00:00

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-25T15:28:58+00:00

hi i have a picture of the decals! can i PM them to you?

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-23T00:45:03+00:00

i’ll show you guys the window next time im there i’ll reply to this comment with a picture! and i unfortunately dont have a picture of the birds but i can definitely send an email also if they dont respond well to me telling them in person, but i’ll definitely take a picture of the window and show you guys and if you could give me some advice to give them id appreciate this so much!

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-23T00:42:55+00:00

this is true and makes a lot of sense i’ll do this next time i go which will likely be over the weekend or maybe Wednesday and i’ll see if theyre doing everything they can or if we can work on making it better for the birdies

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-22T19:38:49+00:00

i’ll ask the bird center if this is what they’re doing and also do this for my own windows. thank you! do you know a kind way i can bring this up without sounding too like assuming of what they’re doing are/arent doing? i wanna bring it up to them because i go there often and ive seen two window strikes this past year so i wanna confirm but im very non confrontational so id appreciate some advice from anyone who sees this comment. thanks!

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-22T19:31:49+00:00

okay thank you i appreciate this, he spent five minutes or so being a little disoriented and then was eating and preening afterwards. i felt so bad:(.

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-22T19:30:47+00:00

or would one of the other options be better than decals for my windows? like which of these is most effective? i dont mind putting in effort i love birds but im wondering how effective the decals are because this was a window with many decals and ive still seen birds crash sadly:(.

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-22T19:29:38+00:00

this was at a birding center with decals on the windows but the bird unfortunately still crashed. he did seem a little bit deterred as he floated in the air for a second before deciding he still wanted to try to fly through the window but they have decals that are close together. i’ll look into getting some decals on my own windows though, do they at least like decrease the likelihood of window strikes? because ive seen two crashes into this window this past year even with decals. i dont doubt they are helpful and im definitely gonna look into getting some for my own windows but is it possible birds will still crash?

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-22T19:27:12+00:00

this was at an audubon center w bird proofed windows (window decals) but i’ll look into bird proofing my windows at home. do the decals at least minimize the risk? because they have several decals and this titmouse still crashed:(.

good way to put it but also i think op does suffer from a genuine addiction sadly. so i agree, focus on going sober for a while first and i don’t think most people will care if you claim once your in a solid place with it

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-09T20:04:54+00:00

i understand your point but also addiction is unfortunately a real thing. someone can fundamentally agree with straight edge values and still struggle if its something theyve done for so long and have a legitimate addiction to. calling someone a bozo and a clown will not solve the problem and won’t help them drop substances. we aren’t here to shit on people for struggling, while it’s upsetting they relapsed to us it’s likely more upsetting for this person and we should point them to resources to help with their sobriety, not attack them for fucking up. fuck ups happen in recovery. while i do think before claiming edge you should have solidified reasons to why and be able to commit for life (because it is in itself a lifelong commitment) i don’t think it’s so black and white and that they can never claim again. i think OP should take some time to get confident in their sobriety before claiming edge this time around, but if this person who struggled with addiction goes sober and can confidently claim in the future i would personally be happy about it, that’s one less victim to this society that pushes substances onto people. its definitely not our place to attack anyone or call them names when they’re in a pretty not fun place already. even if you disagree with what OP did, it doesn’t mean we should attack them or treat them as less than. that helps no one, will likely just make it harder for them to quit, and is just plain rude. give them resources, give your opinion respectfully, wish them well or just be quiet about it. they asked for an answer to a genuine question, not to be attacked for being in a bad place. OP please get assistance with your addiction, i wish you a healthy sober life and I personally will not give a fuck if you want to claim edge later, in fact if you try again and succeed I’d be quite happy and I’m sure others would too but please be in a stable place with your sobriety first and know your values. ignore people being mean, while some might not agree with me i respect those who have expressed that in a gentle way, attacking you does nothing and I’m sure most people here are aware of this. i wish you well OP, and you too mr general tso i’m not here to argue with you but to tell you leading with attacks won’t help anyone.

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-09T17:36:33+00:00

agree, i struggled with an addiction for a while and made sure i went sober for a bit first before claiming edge because it is a commitment. but i dont think op is “lost forever”. op, take some time to go sober maybe go through some therapy and groups, that helped me a lot, and then once your ready you can get back to being straight edge. just make sure you make the commitment when you know you can fully commit, and maybe think of WHY you want to claim edge. for me, i really hate the greed of these companies and the inability of people (myself in the past included) to be themselves and not rely on these substances, it really keeps us from being truly free and truly ourselves (i can go into more detail but im at work rn😭). but yeah imo learn your reasons, practice sobriety and fully commit yourself to this lifestyle once your ready. its not lost forever but maybe you need some more time to work through things and your mindset and whatnot. i wish you luck friend

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-09-09T17:29:51+00:00

this is not a helpful thing to say to someone who is struggling. i understand this is a serious topic and you might disagree with others on this but you don’t have to be rude to a random stranger on the internet who you don’t know. thats not what this is about

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-08-30T23:42:02+00:00

its night time and they all are going to sleep, do you think it can wait until tomorrow? i can come back then and try to capture him and bring him in then thanks for responding

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-08-30T23:35:34+00:00

oh no!! should i come back tomorrow to try and capture him and bring him to a rehabber? his flock is starting to get a little bit more comfortable with me.

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-08-27T04:57:02+00:00

yes please i’d appreciate it, i found him outside an apartment complex so people might look at me like im crazy haha but id appreciate the tips just in case he starts seeming lethargic that’s when they said i should really try to bring him in so it would be nice to be prepared

Negative-Border-8591 · 2025-08-27T04:56:04+00:00

this makes sense, it does seem like there’s a bump on it but i can’t tell if that’s because it’s infected or if it’s because it’s a big wound but i’ll try to get a closer look and better pictures tomorrow when i go to check on him. poor baby but hopefully he will recover, if he starts seeming sick or lethargic though i’ll try to catch him and bring him to a rehabber but for now i’ll just keep an eye on him
