So people with birdfeeders should take them down too eh?
Yes

There is an argument that feeding wild birds can have a detrimental impact on the bird population, and will cause a whole host of problems for wild birds and the environment.

While this may be hard to imagine at first, remember that for their well-being and ours we’re told not to feed just about every other type of wild animal. Our intervention can cause them to stray from their natural habits and ignore their instincts and instead rely on the easy answers we’ve provided. So why should the birds be different?

I see your point. My kids won't move out.

Ok fine, you have my approval to keep feeding the other stupid birds (birds are fake anyways, I learned that here this week) then. Not sure why I doubted you, should have known better, respectfully.
Birds are fake... They are little robots created by Bill Gates with the eyes of the dead children that Tom Hanks fucked and killed, all so that Hillary can kill Benghazi in an email, so that Rupert Murdoch can have talk points on his networks to appease the lizard overlords (look Ma, I'm wearing the tinfoil hat too)

Florida Governor gives green light for beaches to reopen

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s governor on Friday gave the green light for some beaches and parks to reopen if it can be done safely, and north Florida beaches became among the first to allow beach-goers to return since closures because of the coronavirus.

Mayor Lenny Curry said Duval County beaches were reopening Friday afternoon with restricted hours, and they can only be used for walking, biking, hiking, fishing, running, swimming, taking care of pets and surfing.

The beaches will be open from 6 to 11 a.m. and 5 to 8 p.m., Curry said in a video posted to social media.

Gatherings of 50 or more people are prohibited and people must still practice social distancing.

Unless, they're species targeted, and spill proof as to prevent multiple species from feeding out of them, yes. You know all these animals based diseases that we see? They all come from unnatural human feeding and housing practices. How are you going to feel when your woodpecker shares some weird diseases with your squirrels and wipes out their population? Better still, how are you going to feel when that disease jumps to people and we're on global lockdown because you felt the need to rob your squirrels of their wildness?

Right now people are worried about covid, as they should be, but take a second and look into chronic wasting disease (CWD) because if that makes the jump, we're fucked and guess where it came from?

I don't like residential bird feeders because they create rodent populations and that can be nasty to live around and creates and spreads some disease.

and those fucking squirrels fuck up gardens

some subsonic .22 rounds may or may not have gone off to lower the population in my immediate area

I still don't know what to believe with this thing. If it was as infectious as we've been led to believe (e.g. 14-day asymptomatic spread), we'd be in serious trouble right now. Central Florida was a ghost town for about three or four days, but traffic has been steadily picking up ever since. People are out shopping everywhere they can with only a select few bothering to cover their face. If it was still spreading uncontrollably we'd be getting absolutely hammered right now.

it is great
breaking the ole sound barrier is a dead giveaway

My back fence is county line so I can technically discharge here, but I don't like to annoy the neighbors.
Coons, Squirrels, unsavory birds, rats, etc....they all know this yard isn't a safe place to be if they are gonna fuck up the garden

still makes a lil bang but no crack
I even use .22caps on some pesky critters

Man, I can shoot them in my yard if I want as well, in the neighborhood because we are in the county. But I only use my crossbow or pellet gun.
