Because birds don't give a fuck about private property. They perch wherever the fuck they want. Some birds are apparently as "intelligent" as children, but I think they're actually way smarter than the bourgeoisie specifically because private property and national borders are all meaningless to them. The entire natural world is anarcho-communist and even Homo sapiens was like this for 95% of our time on Earth.

"No, actually you're wrong because birds have territories they defend and therefore capitalism is natural and we should all embrace it."

Really? Do birds enslave other birds to make money? Do they ever eat more food than they need? I don't fucking think so.

Also, birds are complex. Some are loners. Others hang out together. Sometimes different species even hang out together.

There are also far more bird species on Earth than there are mammal species. In some ways the reign of the dinosaurs never really ended.

When I lived in the American puppet state of "South Korea" I remember hearing about the wildlife in the DMZ and how certain birds there would fly back and forth between the DPRK and the "ROK" because they didn't give a fuck about the border. Based fucking birds.

Also, sometimes I saw spoonbills in the "ROK." That was really cool.

Right now there's a bunch of bluejays freaking out about something just outside my house. They get super active when it rains for some reason. That's why I'm writing this.

    Blue jays are very cool and beautiful with many different vocalizations, and iirc they have a war cry essentially to call for backup in case birds of prey show up! Its sad but a lot of bird feeding enthusiasts actually try to discourage blue jays from their feeders bc ~they are too greedy and aggressive~ which is weird to me bc that describes the human behavior which our own culture rewards.! Same for house sparrows, only they also hate them more for being "invasive" ....but it was european colonizers who brought them here, lol, to remind them of home

      I've been attacked twice by blue Jays in my life but like me and my species are destroying the earth so critical support still.

      Yeah the other birds seem to not like the bluejays very much. They're pretty big and hog the feeders.
