      because killing birds isn’t a task of the kernel, it’s the task of a userspace utility part of the coreutils

      They’re built to kill. Crazy good reflexes and eyesight, amazing jump height, claws that grab hold of tree branches, feathers, and skin very nicely. There are a bunch of strays where I live, and they are murdering machines when they don’t have a bowl of food plopped in front of them twice a day at their leisure.

      The only reason why cats aren’t hunting us down right now is because we’re too big to be prey. I read somewhere a long time ago that domestic cats have one of the highest predation success rate in the mammalian class. Meaning once they choose to actually try to hunt something they usually get it.

      They’re kind of the perfect predators, and birds need to land sometime.

      Basically their only weak point, biologically, is their kidneys.

    3.5 billion birds are killed in North America per year? I didn’t know anywhere near that number even existed.

    But then again…

    Wikipedia says there are about 7.5 million square miles in the US and Canada, so that’s over 400 birds killed per square mile, per year, on average.

    That’s amazing, no?

      Not sure if you’re making a joke, but windows kill birds because they’re transparent and birds fly into them not realizing it’s there. The rest of the building doesn’t really kill birds because they won’t fly into it.

        mostly musing on the clarification of what a window is, because not all windows are transparent, in fact, the majority of them, i would venture to argue, are not.

        Skyscrapers are weird.
