I guess they just noticed that survival of the fittest is a tough program. Just ask the deer, grouse and turkeys that survived this brutal winter in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Or the cattle, chickens and farmers that spent long days and nights in sub-zero weather.
A few weeks ago flocks of robins arrived in southeast Minnesota on their normal schedule to find deep crusty snow and sub-zero temperatures. Those that survived soon left.

Polar bears will love life on the Great Lakes.

Is it safe to say you don’t want the birds to starve to death? How touching.

Life is never a joke for any animal. Not one minute of it. Ever.

Is your comment supposed to be sarcastic and insulting to the poster?
Please explain.

Just observing the irony of campaigning for the forced starvation of cognitively disabled people, and then crying over the possibility of starving birds. SMH

I don't get any association at all between your comment and the post you're referring to. And I'm not wasting any more time on the subject, either.
Anyhow, have a happy St. Paddy's Day tomorrow.

I don’t like for anyone, even birds, to have to starve to death. During inclement weather, when foraging is difficult, I supply food and water for the birds. I’m also the primary caregiver to my husband, one of those cognitively disabled people that flaglady says should be starved and dehydrated to death for the offense of being a burden. So yeah, when I see her whining over the poor birdies, showing more concern for them than her fellow human beings, sometimes I can’t resist the urge to point out the hypocrisy.

Were you born nasty or was it an acquired taste?

I live in Illinois, between the frozen great lakes and the fact that until the last few days most of Nprtheast Illinois has been snowcovered since just after Christmas, with very few breaks in the weather/thaws there's no food for the birds..
Robins, Cardinals and other birds returned EARLY this year, in mid-February. We had about 20 inches of snow cover on the ground where I live, 30 miles SW of Chicago. There was no food for the birds. Not sure where they went, but they're no longer in my area.
We even have coyotes and now wolves coming into our area looking for food because the snowcover has kept their food (rabbits, mice, etc..) underground/under snow.

Bad year for water fowl. It’s happened before.

I’m in good company among all the people you call nasty for refusing to employ the Schiavo Protocol against innocent victims.

Choose your battlegrounds better, rather than on a thread about birds. Geez.
