Why don't we see that many dead birds? Should be a lot more than you see.?

Raccoons, skunks, stray cats and dogs, rats .  Scavengers are common anywhere (look at what people do to keep these marauders out of their garbage).

You should definitely have power point pictures/transparencies or actual pictures of tons upon tons of the poultry that is being destroyed because of the possibility of infection, this image will really grab attention. You should discuss how many people have actually been affected and relate this to the number of people who die every day from things like cancer and heart disease to put this pandemonium in some perspective. You may want to discuss the possibility that even if we successfully treat affected people the virus could mutate and form a resistant type.

Well, I think sometimes there are more made and some made bigger. Also, I believe that after a few hundred years, when so many people have died, they just re-use the graves. There are a lot of reserved graves in cemetaries. Still quite a few spaces left. Lots of people get cremated so they take up less space and often, people choose to be buried in the same grave as a loved one, sometimes more than one.

Ravens and all birds are considered to be messengers. As I speak there are 4 outside picking up the deer corn. Do I consider this a message. No. But last year one came and sat on the top of the gazebo and wouldn't shut up. Very annoying. About an hour later the phone rang. My daughter had just been rushed into the hospital in premature labor. What's really great about the ravens is they have a plan. About 10 or more get together and each has it's own job. One takes one road and the other ones have thier own road to monitor. When one finds food, they call to the next one, which calls to the next one and pretty soon all of them are there eating. Owls on the other hand are considered messengers of death or soon to be dead. So watch those hooters. Oh, and usually if you see an eagle, a raven is not far away. Well, where I live anyway. I just answered this ? yesterday. Now as i sit here typing, there's a Bald Eagle sitting out on the ice in front of our house. And inching closer. The only thing I can figure is, the ravens were here yesterday eating. If he's bringing a messenger... This has never happened before. Maybe I should go out there. Oh...he's walking this way!! For true.

If you think about it-you see thousands of humans every week-probably, I would guess, something like 10,000 times more humans than any other animal..and yet how often have you seen a human drop from a heart attack, or even the much more common falling from a dizzy spell?  It isn't a common enough occurance to see regularly- Occasionally you will see a bird out of a large flock dropping, usually in a controlled manner- A bird will drop to the ground when it start to feel ill..it won't usually just fly until it drops or passes out.  I have found numerous birds that appeared stunned.  Most were likely from hitting windows, but I can't be sure of that.  From speaking to my veternarian friends, on average humans are more healthy, not less, than the great majority of animals-and if you add in animals in the wild, it's not even close.  Many, if not most, wild animals suffer from parasites of various kinds, and often from infections and poorly healed injuries.  It has nothing at all to do with exercise-pets that live in a house, and get much less exercise than feral dogs and cats live much longer, healthier lives.  The effect of better diet, less stress, modern health care is a much larger factor in health than exercise is-as is obvious from the fact that, even though humans get much less exercise now than 100 years ago, we live much much longer.  That being said, the combination of better diet, less stress, modern medicine *and* plenty of exercise is better still.

I think we need to take the focus from 'assholian' people and put it on 'assholian' birds.\n\nI've yet to meet a bird that has been nice to me.\n\n\nThey are because they don't deem you worthy of better treatment.

All you need is eyes and a clear sky. I saw one about an hour ago, but that was after an hour of looking. There should be more later tonight, especially after 11:00 or 12:00. Look anywhere in the sky.

COMMON SENSE AND LOGIC SAY NONE .DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY ANIMAL SPECIES THERE ARE? WE DONT HAVE SHIPS TODAY BIG ENOUGH TO ACCOMODATE 2 OF EVERY ANIMAL ON EARTH...SCIENCE PEOPLE ...REALITY, USE THE BRAIN

Myths? probably.\nLife? Yes.\njust because fossils aren't found doesn't mean life didn't exist.\nfossils are far and few between compared to the number of living specimens at the time.

Oh, the irony.  After a little girl flies halfway across the country in a ultralite in order to lead Canada Geese back from extinction, they are now going to kill us all with their poop.\n\nI think, once they hit the US, we had better start keeping our shoes at the door.  I know ducks & geese are pretty common here, and they are going to be carriers.  And that doesn't even take into account how many times ducks get into the pool.\nIs chlorine antiviral at pool sanitation levels?\nI hope some other country full of ducks & geese figures it out before it gets here.

I love to shoot starlings and house sparrows with mine. They are both introduced species and a plegue on other birds. If we had a government had half a backbone they would eliminate them all by putting a $1.00 a head on each one. And I would become a millionare within a year.

Back in history there were a lot of birds that mankind didn't know, but most of them are identified by now.

few birds in the wild would survive long enough to die of old age, so it mostly depends on what the cause of death is.\n\nmany birds are eaten by various predators, others are killed when they strike immobile objects like buildings or glass doors.  a large number of them can starve to death or succumb to the elements during winter, or catch a disease (like West Nile) and die.  most of these will probably be whereever they happened to roost when they die.\n\nso there isn't one single place that birds will head for when they think they're going to die.  it takes most of them by surprise.

There were many. Most ones you would never notice.\n\n3 species of jellyfish, over 20 species of fish, 39 species of snails, 10 species of coral.\n\nOn land, over 400 species of insects, over 50 species of spiders,\n\n3 new mammal species.\n\n100+ species of birds.\n\nAll of these were discovered in the past 10 years. Most are form microhabitats and mosty are threatened by habitat descruction and a few may already be extinct in just the past 10 years.
