birds

Definition of birds in English English dictionary: Francis of Assisi; Fish eating birds can cause great damage to a fish farm The damage is only partially in the animals eaten by the birds For each fish successfully caught and eaten, many others are damaged (see picture) In the case of shellfish (e g mussels on ropes), species such as the Eider duck can strip the ropes, partly though consumption but mainly through knocking several animals off the ropes for each animal eaten Birds also present a threat through transmission of disease to the farm from other farms and watercourses in the area They can also play a role as an intermediary host in some diseases such as eye fluke Wherever possible, birds should be eliminated from entering the farm by use of netting or other scaring devices Netting is the only complete solution as birds will very quickly become used to most scaring devices and choose to ignore them; When the ice finally retreated about 13,000 BC, the barren tundra was replaced by a thicker wooded landscape, with some species of birds: auk, buzzard, crane, crow, red-throated diver, duck, goldeneye duck, garganey, grebe, lapwing, mallard, red-breasted merganser, pintail, smew, white stork, teal, thrush Evidence shows that in 7500 BC the occupants of Star Carr hunted a number of these birds: buzzard, crane, grebe, lapwing, white stork; denizens of the deep flood ebb air hanky mohawk; 1223; Mostly OK Sparrows are good - you can slowly reach your head over and sniff them but Magpie Larks and Willy Wagtails get annoying because Magpies can attack you and Willys just LOOK annoying Hint: Sit deadly still when they are dive-bombing you and at the right time, jump up and catch them in mid flight Stops them doing that, EVERY time Of course, then they just don't get up and go away again Remember to hide the evidence if you do Lots of bird bodies about the yard tip humans off; plural of bird; aves
