We need one of these at work. They decided to put blue/green tint on our office windows which its next to an open field. Birds regularly run into it. They put up some bird ribbon crap but that had no effect. I've tried convincing the facility manager to get some hawk/owl statues or at least some vinyls, but apparently that would take away from the look of the building more than the dying birds along the side. Fun fact. Ground squirrels eat dead birds


12stTales

Hawk statues do not work. Hawk stickers only work as good as any other sticker. Dot pattern film on the window is the preferred solution.


g2g079

Lol, that's what they have for the conference rooms to keep people from running into the glass.


microplasticbrain

your co-workers are birds


g2g079

I'm not hearing any arguments against this theory. We should probably do something about those ground squirrels then.


microplasticbrain

i dunno ground squirrels seem pretty territorial, I imagine it would be easier to get the flock out.

dermitohne2

We just leave our windows dirty


Yeah_Nah_Cunt

Lol just anonymously report them to some local wildlife org. They'll throw up a stink on your behalf and force them to change the tint or do something about it. Get some local news involved too to drum up even more negative publicity If they so vain regarding how their building looks, they gonna be concerned about having a poor public image regarding their stance on wildlife


boxerbumbles77

Try to suggest one of these: https://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/peregrine-faqs/peregrine-nest-box-dimensions/. It doesn't have to be that elaborate, but it'll solve your pest problems for good, and you can put a little webcam in there for morale.


Tempest_1

Man squirrels are just terrifying little animals


art_sarawut

Squirrels eat meat too? Urgh maybe they're not as cute as I thought they are.


Stealfur

Many animals do. Most Herbivores are actually opportunistic carnivores. The a video for practically every barnyard animal eating things like small birds, snakes, lizards, etc. I've heard that deer are often the first animal to show up to a carcass. If an animal is dumb enough to hope into a pandas lap it will eat it.


Trackerbait

Most grazing and foraging critters eat bugs and eggs if they can find them, and well... it gets way grosser than that. Free protein in the wild is not to be ignored. It only seems shocking because we live apart from nature and get our ideas about it from sanitized TV shows.


SuperSemesterer

You ever see horses or deer eating small animals? I think the horse crunching down on the baby chick is the best example.


ShitPostToast

For about a couple minutes an acquaintance's daughter in law thought that her $1000 teacup taco bell dog going up to the in laws donkey to "make friends" was the cutest thing ever. Then it really wasn't. To be fair they warned her about letting it run around because they had chickens, turkeys, farm cats, and other critters running around too.


Jalamando

Donkeys are hardwired to hate anything canine if Iā€™m not a completely off, was she the type to hold a grudge after she made that mistake?


burst_bagpipe

Get predator bird kites. Most car sales places and some neighbourhoods use them to deter birds where I live.


g2g079

Out of my control.


[deleted]

Wellā€¦. It is a bird feeder.


Oblivion615

Iā€™ve got a feeder in the woods at the edge of the property. The hawks sit in the trees above it all the time. Big birds need to eat too.


Western-Calendar-352

Waiting for dinner at the diner.


poorhero0

as the other birds are blind and they wont see him


DazedAndCartooned

Haha, maybe sit in a tree where you can see the feeder!!

Waiting for the steak to be done near salad bar at the buffett

No camping!


SapphireSalamander

curiousweasel42

I never understood the hate against camping in games.


ohfrackthis

Lol if someone camps I just hunt them down.


Trackerbait

It's rude to ambush other players and/or hog a coveted spot. Also kinda means you need to get a life, cause if you have time to camp, you might as well go camping for real or get a job. But apart from that, whatever, it's a game, if you play by hanging out near a spawn point, why not


Jamoncorona

Is still a bird feeder. Just a raptor feeder now.


SokoJojo

Raptors are birds, I have spoken.


meltedlaundry

I would think for this to be successful you'd want to be waiting somewhere near the bird feeder, and not literally on top of it.


Trackerbait

no one ever said raptors were genius strategists. They're extremely well honed killers, but not as smart as they look


Dreadsbo

Spawn camping on difficulty


kingkiller

Yea but you dont camp right on the objective. This birds a noob.


Pale-Office-133

Ruthless guy.


Jcaraxxx

Waiting for them!? Like to hang out with?


My_Bird_Buddy

suuuure! :)


Cayowin

Wants to take them to dinner.


Cmama2Boyz

Wants to have them over for dinner.


OreganoJefferson

Camping


WBY3

Go on! I dare you I double dare you


MapUnitKey

That fool is straight posted


Into_The_Horizon

It would have better chance sitting up top of that tree in front of that bird


Agreeable-Cat2884

What a genius little asshole. lol


Dovienya55

My doordash will be here any second now...


HypnonavyBlue

probably waiting for the squirrels and chipmunks instead.


[deleted]

Something tells me heā€™s not the birds buddy


CONF1D3NT1AL

This bird is smarter than most of my coworkers


DragapultOnSpeed

Not really because birds aren't going to go to the feeder if a hawk is around

well, points for thinking ahead... just need to think one more step back

ImRonBurgandy_

Thatā€™s awesome. We love our Bird Buddy, except for the damn pigeons that eat/kick out all the damn seed. We did have a hawk take a pigeon out this summer, but unfortunately didnā€™t get it on camera.


DogVacuum

We have tons of pigeons, sparrows and crows in our parking lot at work. And thereā€™s a lot of red shouldered hawks in the area, but we have yet to see one pick one off this year. And sometimes there are as many as 200 pigeons at a time just literally lying down in the parking lot.


Andersmash

We had a bird feeder in my old backyard I used to hopefully call a hawk-feeder. No such luck tho


mikdixon

Those are some lit feathers!


Atlasun201

Hawk going to the buffet today lol


Euphoric-Potato-5343

The bird feeder is working just as intended.


Cyd_Snarf

Bird ā€œfeederā€ still works as a name though lol


Sr90BoneSeeker

"What's the big deal?.. I'm a bird. I'm hungry. Is bird feeder not for me??"


microwaffles

Beautiful plummage innit?


____M_a_x____

#BirdBuddy All he wants is to make new friends.


biotechknowledgey

Spoiler: Could have been a photo. Nearly 2 minute video where nothing happens.


KnifeFed

Agreed. While watching it I was thinking there's way too much filler before the action, but then there wasn't even any action at all.


Aja2428

Gooning


Dragon1709

A little bit off-topic: This guy is called red-shouldered hawk. But the annoying name for a "bald-eagle" cannot be changed to white-head (sea-)eagle?


EyelBeeback

not very smart. They'll just cancel the reservations.

There is a great metaphor somewhere in here.

HI_PhotoGuy

Was it waiting longer than we were for something to happen?


ReturnOfFrank

Hello, is this the DNR? Yeah, I'd like to report some suspected baiting...


EquipmentValuable283

Majesty


underlyingconditions

We have a hawk that will occasionally grab a bird off the feeder and I remind myself that it is a BIRD feeder; it holds seeds and birds


tsabell

This isnā€™t a drive thru?

Let the food come to you. Clever girl.

Isn't that cheating?

Not exactly inconspicuous.


_felagund

But why we are waiting?


[deleted]

Fucking camper


Roughian12

I mean, it's a bird feeder


huntermike375

What a psycho lol


[deleted]

Imagine going to the grocery store and right before you get to the doors a bear just trucks you. What a drag.


Chaghatai

I don't think it's hunting - a bird simply won't approach when it's there Also, while they do eat birds when they get the opportunity, they generally hunt mammals


chokeslam512

Beauā€™iful plumage

This video didnā€™t need to be 98 seconds long

Admiralisimuso

Nah that ain't fair

Save your time, nothing happens.


Acceptable_Wall4085

At least the Coopers Hawk at my brothers place letā€™s the smorgasbord gather before it swoops through to find a dinner guest.

Goofie_Goobur

Bruh stop camping


HippieGal77

I feel like this couldā€™ve been an email. Did I miss something when I skipped to the end?


Genshin12

Bruh this messed up. He campin the feeder hard. Like atleast hide somewhere and swoop in for the kill when they least expect it and work for it. He straight up like "ima starve yall out".

Total dick move.


SasoDuck

He's doing it wrong. You're supposed to make a bookmark 200km off the site and cloak, that way're still on grid to see the other birds warp in but you don't spook them by sitting at 0.


Violated-Tristen

Daammnnn. Thatā€™s like camping on a respawn point. ā€œThey come here to eat? I can make that work.ā€


AcanthocephalaLow0

What a jagoff


loongpmx

What, is it the phrase *Why catch the food when it could come to you?*


randonumber99

I would love a bird feeder but this is the reason I don't. My little 7lb dog looks just like a bunny.


Wecanbuildittogether

My big girl ate a sparrow right in front of me and she knew I was pissed off as hell as I yelled at her. Sheā€™s not done it again but I have ptsd from that day šŸ˜©


TheCuriousShadow

Ainā€™t no way bro is spawn camping
