The squirrels in my area like to eat pine cones…
They probably like to eat baby birds, too. They’re a lot more vicious than people give them credit for.
Don’t fool yourselves, a squirrel would murder you and everyone you loved given the chance
Furlow the squirrel-o is offended by your unfounded accusations.
More seriously though. Given abundance of food basically everything we ‘know’ about animal species interaction gets thrown out the window.
At any moment outside my window you find a dozen species eating side by side every single day that we were told would ‘for sure kill each other before sharing a food source’.
What that says about scarcity in relation to humanity I’ll leave to someone else…
Man fuck cuckoos. Raise your own children, you little fucking parasites.
I mean they literally lay their eggs in another bird’s nest, and then the chick kicks out the other eggs when it hatches, so that another bird mom will think it’s their own and mistakenly raise it, while screwing over the other chicks before they even have a chance to be born.
I wish these fuckers would go extinct.
Nest parasitism is not unique to cuckoos and you can’t really put a value judgement on evolution. Brown-headed cowbirds are the most common nest parasites in North America. There’s lots of species where the parents kill their own children if they either think they aren’t strong enough to survive or if the food supply is too insecure to care for them. It’s just nature.
