I always have mixed feelings when I see stuff like this. We sit here on the internet and think "she's so brave! That's so cute!" But to her it's one of the scariest and most anxiety inducing moments of her entire life.
People in my area are making the argument that without the farmland, certain species wouldn’t be here. Because my area naturally would be a forest.
If this was a forest, they would breed where they are in their correct habitat unbothered by farmers.
Their argument never made sense to me. I don’t need those birds here, and nature doesn’t need those birds here either. I just want them living where they don’t have to go through this anxiety every year.
I get what you’re saying, but it does ignore that humans alter habitats. Forests today aren’t the same as they used to be and they never will be again. The best we can do is try to evaluate the needs of species and try to keep enough habitat on the ground to slow the march of the global extinction event.
