Golden Sparrow has been declared dead in Finland. It is critically endangered elsewhere but not deemed extinct quite yet in entire Earth.
To the surprise of bird connoisseurs, a young male bird was seen in Finnish island of Hailuoto, which is in Northern Baltic on northernmost region of Gulf of Bothnia, closer to Finland than to Sweden.
He will be singing alone. There are no others left. There will be no mate for him on this summer and not ever.
Asians have ate most of this bird species and it is very delicious. Russians have reported there are still 300 live birds in Russia.
to raise as pets, here in Brazil it is common to catch wild birds to raise them as pets, it is illegal but people do it, it is a two edge sword they are being taken from nature but basically they can't be extinct because there are so many being bred in captivity
< some prefered species by people Amazona aestiva Sicales flaveola Sporophila caerulescens Oryzoborus angolensis
what I posted here says that sparrows are going extinct in cities because houses are being replaced by high altitute buildings, sparrows don't fly high so they can't make nests there
Brayden Cox
I like watching birds when out in the nature but I don't understand why anyone would want them as pets. They shit uncontrollably whenever and where ever and they make noise constantly unless they are asleep.
Nicholas Foster
it is not everybird you can raise, any bird from the Turdus family will coat its cage in explosive diarreah

IDK, where I live they were common in the 90’s and as my parrent and grandparrents told me they were always common, completely disappeared in 00’s, had big resurgence in early 10’s and now they are gone again, but I suppose they moved to better nesting place instead of dying out like they did in late 90’s because I still see them form time to time.

Here crows ate most of the birds around my region. I used to wake up hearing birds singing and now I only hear crows. Everytime I see one I shoot it with an air rifle
Benjamin Hughes
Imagine being the last guy in your country alive and all the women are dead. Actually that sounds pretty based.
Luke King
the bird looks pretty much identical to regular sparrow but has different colors
I believe this more than My city is full of houses, but I see fat scary crows everywhere.
Bentley Long
well we don't have crows in Brazil so
Joshua Watson
Reading that sparrows are disappearing everywhere is depressing. When I was little, we’d see seagulls, crows, and sparrows pretty much everyday. Also mourning doves in the afternoon. Now I hardly ever see any birds.
David Peterson
Wait what? I thought they were common around the globe.
Thomas Brooks
>tfw crows are so smart that they don't even try to live in South America
Jason Miller
We have seven types of crows here.
Jaxson Lee
nope we have only these nut eating blue magpies in the south
I sometimes buy peas from the marketplace and throw pods at them just to watch how they open them. Smart birds and they don't diarrhea everywhere like seagulls do.
Easton James
we don't, their ecological ncihe is occupied by these Urubus as carrion eating birds, the only corvidae we have ere these magpies as I said and they eat nuts and insects wikiaves.com.br/midias.php?tm=f&t=x&x=1619
Here last years some kind of hawk appeared and became pretty common for all neighbour cities, I always see them when look at the window in summer. So I guess there are still a lot of birds in the city for them so they moved to cities from outskirts. Or maybe they eat at rubbish dump like crows, dunno.

>tfw you will never have the will or energy to post autistic finnish news every single day on a japanise animation image board
Julian Edwards
Do they attack people who aren't already a corpse?
nope, thank god, they can get pretty fucking huge, it is just that they are associated with death, every time you see a bunch of them flying in circles there's something dead in the ground
>Estimated to have numbered three to five billion at the height of its population, it may have been the most numerous bird on Earth; researcher Arlie W. Schorger believed that it accounted for between 25 and 40 percent of the total land bird population in the United States.[54] The passenger pigeon's historic population is roughly the equivalent of the number of birds that overwinter in the United States every year in the early 21st century. >in 1866, one flock in southern Ontario was described as being 1.5 km (0.93 mi) wide and 500 km (310 mi) long, took 14 hours to pass, and held in excess of 3.5 billion birds.[57] Such a number would likely represent a large fraction of the entire population at the time, or perhaps all of it.[17] Most estimations of numbers were based on single migrating colonies, and it is unknown how many of these existed at a given time. American writer Christopher Cokinos has suggested that if the birds flew single file, they would have stretched around the earth 22 times.[58]
>Passenger pigeons were shot with such ease that many did not consider them to be a game bird, as an amateur hunter could easily bring down six with one shotgun blast; a particularly good shot with both barrels of a shotgun at a roost could kill 61 birds. The pigeon was considered so numerous that 30,000 birds had to be killed to claim the prize in one competition.[44] Tunnel nets were also used to great effect, and one particularly large net was capable of catching 3,500 pigeons at a time.[129] The last large nesting was in Petoskey, Michigan, in 1878 (following one in Pennsylvania a few days earlier), where 50,000 birds were killed each day for nearly five months
>The last fully authenticated record of a wild passenger pigeon was near Oakford, Illinois, on March 12, 1901.
They could bring them back alive because they have their DNA stored in museums
Have genuine mental concerns for anyone who gives a fuck about birds or their continued existence.
Xavier Hill
God these fucks are something else. They aren't common in North Florida but in Northern Virginia they're fucking everywhere making cheeps and peeps until 8 pm
Asher Hall
Birds are important.
Jose Allen
Rude, Ivan.
Brandon Williams
I need to start reading the ghosts of evolution, it has to mention these things, how the fuck were they not super relevant if there were so many of them
Landon Diaz
The weak will die. The strong will survive. There will always be birds to eat insects and drop seeds, who cares about their colour or size being special varieties.
I've noticed that ever since my local administration got rid of stray cats by feeding them contraceptives there's been a huge increase in pigeon population and a decrease in sparrow population. I don't think I saw a sparrow in like 5 years around where I live but in the past they were very common. Only the bigger birds remained.
Brody Torres
What kind of a maniac would rather have pigeons than sparrows?
Adam Turner
No, I guess it's black kite.
Sebastian Wright
The bigger the bird, the more food to feed your Slav family. Also why do you care about one type of bird more than another? They should all be equal.
Brandon Adams
Not me for sure, I hate these cunts. There's just something about their dumb, insolent behavior which I find absolutely infuriating.
Nathan Rogers
that's communism, Boris
William Smith
I have a pigeonophobia desu. Other birds do not look that uncomfortable, but pigeons seem scary as fuck. I want more sparrows.
Benjamin Adams
This but with human skin colours
Kevin Clark
Sparrows are small and skittish. They fly away from you. Pigeons will rather shit on you. They are dickheads.
Aiden Torres
I've seen pigeons who cross the road on red light.
Thomas Bailey
*red light for cars I mean
Parker Bell
I've seen ones get flattened by car tires because they're too lazy and stupid to fly off from the middle of the road when a vehicle is coming.
