Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 06:37:11 PMI would imagine those birds that have never never been out of a pen in their life, so couldn't possibly know anything about cars and traffic, never having seen them, so wouldn't have the inborn sense of danger like naturally wild birds would have.You are right Mups they are poults released and don't know what to do .
Poor things have only ever seen their own kind squashed in a pen with them, and humans, but no traffic, no guns, no gun dogs chasing them out of hiding.
Then one day when they are released into a totally strange environment, not knowing where they are, where is a safe place to go, or probably not even able to fly, they must be like sitting ducks, and very easy targets for those who like to kill for pleasure.
I absolutely loathe the hunting lot, and would like to see the same happen to them in the next world.
Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 10:54:09 PMPheasants do fly well. Fast and high. It's why they are bred for shooting. I don't know if its just that they are ln an alien environment or they really are dumb.I see more Pigeons than ant other bird squashed on roads. They never seem to fly away when they see you coming, they just sit there in the road until the very last second before they take off.
Some birds are really smart - the corvids mostly. Most others are smart enough to avoid cars. Pigeon don't always as they often fly low over roads for no clear reason. Over the years I've hit several almost always on motorways. The first I've known being a heavy thump on the windscreen. Some do seem to be hit while on the road but I've never hit one there
