Default The birds dont care

In article ,
says...

If you like to see a predator killing the birds you've attracted, well, it
must be a man thing is all I can say.
Actually, I won't be kind to you, it's sick if you deliberately do it and
it's why I've stopped feeding on the birdtable when I know the sparrowhawk
will come. I'm setting up the small birds to be killed.





Look at it this way:

Feed the small birds, they thrive and multiply, sparrowhawk has
a good feed occasionally.

Don't feed the small birds, they struggle and decline. No meal
for sparrowhawk, so they decline as well.

You pays your money and takes your choice!
