Mary of Burgundy came to an untimely end when she fell off her horse during a heron hunting party. Personally I consider the heron to be God’s finest creation, especially the white variety (which are called egrets in English). Thanks to the miracle of climate change these are becoming more and more common over here. I looked up egrets and they look exactly like the birds I've seen in the Netherlands and believed to be storks, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re also not as elegant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limo Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 We had a baby magpie plunge to its death in front of our house last week. Parents were wailing loudly. Sad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork-tailed_drongo Quote Kleptoparasitism Observations show that the fork-tailed drongo in Africa are capable of using deceptive mimicked alarm calls to steal food from birds like pied babblers and animals such as meerkats. Tom Flower observed that fork-tailed drongos spend a quarter of their time following other animals. Drongos sometimes act as sentries when a predator is approaching, warning their neighbours with genuine alarm calls. But drongos also earn a quarter of their daily calories by sounding a false alarm when another animal finds food. When the meerkats and babblers flee from the non-existent predator, the drongo steals their food. Though in doubt, researchers have considered the possibility that these drongos possess theory of mind, not fully shown in any animal other than humans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
