Nature doesn't care about cute, cuddly or fair!
Nature craves carnage, whether it be a large carnivore or a small herbivore. That's why they say "survival of the fittest" instead of "mean birds picking on furry little animals".
Hows this for karma: I see crows, up to a dozen, harassing a red-tailed hawk. They chased it out of town, and I mean relentlessly chased it out of town NON STOP!
Then I see smaller birds band together and harass a crow away from their nesting sites. Bluejays, cardinals, mocking birds, grackles, cowbirds and even the finches and chickadees all had a hand in driving the crow away.
Now I wish there were a "natural" way to drive away the geese and cormorants from many of our fishing spots.
Nothing beats the smell of festering bird crap on a hot spring/summer day to turn you off from fishing that spot!
