Birds in North America

If I cannot get to sleep I listen to several American science radio stations (bedside internet radio).

On one of them last night there was a report that in 1970 there was work done to estimate the number of birds in North America, producing the result 10 billion. The same work was done in 2017 with a result of 7 billion.
The difference was said to be caused by loss and spoiling of habitat.

I like to go for the occasional walk in the countryside and have the joy of seeing a variety of life. To my way of thinking, such life has rights to exist in this, its natural environment.

' They took all the trees, and put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot '

I feed the birds daily, you can get sacks of seeds from garden centres. I fill two bowls of water daily its just as important. There is a constant flow of birds to the water.

Its wonderful to see. When i cark i hope there is an owl at my funeral plus a flock of birds in the trees. It happens, its their way of thanking you.
Everything is recorded. Our brains have nodules that are in contact with quantum mechanics, it has stuff in there that makes it happen.

Like, think it, and it happens. You are creating your life every second.

I’ll sort that out for you Frank, because they’re forgetful little sods.

I also feed the birds. Well, it keeps the cat happy.
