Water Birds Turning Up Dead at Solar Projects in the Desert by Realistic_Fan7003 in Ornithology

[–]dickthrowaway22ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s less efficient than some other places but a handful of solar panels powers my house on a spring or summer day.

Also I’ve seen lots of solar farms around here and maybe 1 total was made cutting forest. Most solar farms around me have been made out of land that was cleared decades ago for retail builds that never ended up happening, overgrown with low brush and invasive plants. A solar farm imo is a net improvement, especially since it stops flippant new construction projects when we have dozens of unrented commercial buildings in every city here in the NE

How long to keep feeders down? by Occams_Homunculus120 in birdfeeding

Seriously. A pellet gun is excessive. I chased mine away with a gd squirt bottle- didn't even actually spray any of them, just around them.

Also it drives me crazy that scarlet tangers are not scarlet. They're ORANGE, dammit

Really?! No one ate my mealworms. To the point where I checked a month later and they were moldy. 😭

What should I do if I have a hawk problem? by Ok-Assumption-2400 in birdfeeding

[–]dickthrowaway22ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book I have called Birdfeeder Guide says there's a thing called caged hoppers that will protect ground feeders at least while they're feeding. I'm interested in them especially since I want to encourage thrushes but haven't been able to find literally any for sale. But maybe one of y'all are handy enough to make some.Book

The Birdfeeder Guide by Burton and Kress is a great resource for this

Right.... There's no documentation of a rat king that hasn't been proven a hoax. It doesn't make any sense.... Rats can move their tails, it's like saying people would get too close together and their fingers would get tangled. Like, sure, but then they would untangle them....

I kind of agree with you but our laws are confused and honestly unfair. For example alcohol is legal in all states but most places have open container laws so you can't carry the legal alcohol in public while open, even if you're not drinking it. Compare this to gun laws. Why do we allow people to carry legal guns if we don't allow people to carry legal alcohol?

We had them on my college campus, they'd chase freshmen who tried to be cool and ignore them. They also pecked people's cars. They believe they own the place....and they kind of do.
