• Bird flu

    From bfh@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 22 02:27:41 2022
    With tens of millions of chickens already dead, the scientists are
    asking people to take down their bird feeders to help prevent the
    spread of bird flu. I asked my birds if they wanted me to follow the
    science. Every bird I asked said, "Hell no. It won't help us anymore
    than locking down and closing up helped you dumbasses. You keep the
    feeder full, and we'll try not to crap or spit near a chicken flock on
    our way North."

    At least so far, the West Coast has been spared bird flu, but it's probably just a matter of time until we're infested too? I wonder how soon the chicken supply will be effected, and how high the future price will get? My pard cooks the most tender
    chicken tenders, I ever 'et!

    I suspect the lockdown helped considerably, during the worst days of Covid, when it was more deadly? Most of the world seemed to believe it was the prudent course of action to follow the science, by shutting down human contact. Once I got inoculated
    with that magnetic Bill Gates juice, my bravery level increased almost to pre-plague times...

    I wouldn't put any faith in what the birds tell you about avoiding chickens on the way North. They'd say anything to keep those feeders full! Still, the lure of operating ones own welfare dept. for birdies, is a hard call to deny, if you feel the
    need to feel needed....

    You can't trust those birds at the feeders. They are obviously
    democrats. They take advantage of free food and they don't even have to
    work for it. The only contribution they make to society is to produce
    more free food eating, non-workers. I suspect they will be crapping all
    over hard working, capitalist, honest chicken farmers' fowl.

    Why do liberals fear free speech? Because they can't handle the truth.

    We live on the flyway. I'm seeing hundreds of geese going by
    every day.

    You see these calls to take down our feeders every time there's
    some bird disease going around. When you get right down to it most of
    the time they have no idea if the feeders are really a significant
    factor or not. It just sounds like a good idea. If you're paying
    attention there are also people who are opposed to bird feeders because
    they can help invasive harmful species.

    My idea of a scientific response is that my feeders are set up so
    the birds don't shit on their food. I don't think I'm helping anyone but myself. The feeders bring the birds around me in closer so I can see
    them better.

    I fed my chickens, bleach, hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin so they
    should be OK. I suggested they mask but, like true retrumplichickens
    they said, "Hell no. This'll all be over in two weeks anyway."

    I can't believe you asked a chicken to mask up. That's about the
    dumbassedness thing I've heard since the last time Kakala said something.
