The Clonmel Journal didn't exist until 1798, so I think the 1795 Hull Advertiser guy was just trying to be hilarious. Ly racist.

You're not serious, are you? Here, from audubon.org - It’s Okay to Hate Starlings. You can google "Starlings are assholes" and get plenty of reading material. Seriously. gently caress Starlings. Straight. to. Hell. :colbert:

Yea, love me some wrens too. Used to live out in the country and had a great multi-platform bird feeding setup because I like watching birds, but I'm a lazy goony goon. Now where I live there's not much in the way of bird watching, but lots of weird people to gawk at, so it's ok.

I don't have an issue with sparrows, they're just the default bird that will be there if you look outside. At least in the Midwestern US.

Starlings and English sparrows are invasive species here, so have your bird people come and get as many as they like. :patriot:

I'm going to pretend he used to be an abused fighting dog that was thrown in a ditch after he lost, left for dead. And old woman found him and nursed him back to health. He wishes to stay with the kindly old lady and live a life of ease with tasty noms. But he cannot. Honor compiles him to track his previous owner across the country so no dog will ever suffer what he did at that man's hands. He must... BITE THE HAND THAT ONCE FED HIM.
