Well played....

They may not be good to eat but they really like living among humans. They are also better problem solvers than have been a lot of our political leaders.

a birdbrain is preferable? Birds don't squawk about racial, gender or sexual equality. If you sit on a bench under their nests, you get the same treatment as anyone else. Of course with some of our elected, the feeling we get is about the same.

....have enough sense to flock together, with others of their own kind. Yet, they are all just birds.

You sound like a mocking bird to me all the time.

but they are excellent at alerting people and other animals to various issues going on around them. Mocking birds don't contribute much........other than to mimic other birds for their own gain (sounds like liberal talking points).

James is the one that doesn't like the sound of a mocking bird...I prefer that sound over the sound of a crow, at least a mockingbird can "change their tune".

but they are excellent at alerting people and other animals to various issues going on around them. Mocking birds don't contribute much other than to mimic other birds for their own gain (sounds like liberal talking points).


So, do you like them or not?

You like to be warned but you don't like that it's a liberal that's warning you?

The CROW warns of danger........the MOCKING BIRD just mimics other birds for their own gain. NO liberal has EVER warned us of danger....in fact, they go out of their way to paint rosy pictures, even to this day (ISIS reports being fudged)

Then it's your fault

YOU said

they are excellent at alerting people and other animals to various issues going on around them

Exactly what do they "alert me to" Everything BUT danger?

"The Mailman has delivered some mail'?

"There's a stray cat in your yard"?

"There's someone from The Tea Party coming to your door...;close the curtains and pretend there's no one home"?

...you name it, over the sound of political bickering. At least the avian species has some logic attached to the sounds they make, when they make them, and for what purpose they are for. Their noises are for social, territorial and alarm reasons. From these sounds, even other species learn what each means and they are often used in mutual cooperation efforts. I can't say the same for political babble. Nothing useful to the general public results from political noise. The only ears who hear it as music are the politicians themselves.

As you said in another post in this thread

And birds of a feather .have enough sense to flock together, with others of their own kind.

So, Are you feeling complimented or insulted that we are both here?
