this bird is so stupid...

for like the past 2 or 3 weeks there is this bird that keeps ramming into our front window, its funny and kinda scary when your trying to go to sleep. Then, I saw the bird yesterday and now I feel kinda bad for it because its beak is bent sideways...

 

Different bird each time a possibility? I mean, it kinda seems that any animal of any level of intelligence would think, "HEY, THIS CAUSES ME MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PAIN, I SHOULD STOP DOING IT."

 

I thought that too, but its the same exact bird each time, because the bird has a little piece of plastic around its foot and a bent beck... every... single.... time...

 

Well where do you live? Maybe the birds are being tagged for some reason. I refuse to believe that this could be the same bird.

 

Oregon, and birds are not tagged in Oregon...

 

Well, I could be for, like, an experiment or whatever.

 

possibly, if its not the same bird, its the same type of bird....

 

If that's the case, then that wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

but if it was a different bird, why would it do exactly the same thing as the first bird?

 

Pattern behavior. They see their reflection in the glass and think, "Oh look, there's another bird like me, I'll go fly with it because we're probably going to the same place."

 

thats another possibility, but would they want to attack the other bird (their reflection)?

 

I dunno.
