strange bird behavior in last few weeks
Anonymous Coward User ID: 18239832 United States 06/20/2012 04:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	strange bird behavior in last few weeks Has anyone else noticed for the last 6 weeks lots of aggressive bird behavior and lots of baby birds being knocked out of trees...I'm in Austin, TX and keep seeing birds fighting and generally freaking out everywhere and baby birds falling out of trees a bunch. I wonder if it's related to the weakening magnetic field?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4163528 United States 06/20/2012 05:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: strange bird behavior in last few weeks I know that in Arizona, I've heard a few people talk about the fact that they don't dodge cars as well as they used to. I hit one the other day and I was surprised because it had plenty of time to get out of the way.

I have noticed the sparrows in our area attacking other birds. The one was going after a hawk the other day as I sat in traffic, the one bird actually fell from sky and landed on a cars hood before getting back up to go battle.

I have several feeders and the birds come from dawn until dark. The bigger birds shove the smaller birds away from the feeders. I have to scatter seed around the yard so the little birds get something to eat. I have noticed some hawks and buzzards flying around more this month.

Quoting: PolarBear418 Birds, even small ones, will attack a bird of prey if their young are at risk. This is quite common.

I have also noticed a lot of birds extremely agitated at times - like when they see a snake or cat - yet there's nothing around. A dozen or so will fly up here and there, hop around screeching at nothing, then fly away. I have lived in the country most of my life and have never seen this behavior. Spes mea in Deo est

I see it every day. Just look up and you can see a hawk or other raptor swarmed with little birds. [link to rosyfinch.com]

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18301580 I am in North Alabama and our birds have been loudly chirping all night. It is like they are having a damn party all night every night. I am not sure if that is normal behavior or not, I just know that I noticed it several months ago, and it is consistent. Perfer et Obdura;Dolor hic tibi proderit olim.Fortes Fortuna Iuvat!
