@hummingrain yeah, that was my response. it was kind of scary! I went and looked at the feathers afterwards, they were so *tiny* (and badly damaged) I couldn't recover any, it was like fluffy glitter. just a few flecks, though, fortunately. I haven't seen any birds fight like that within the same species, other than mallards, who are renowned assholes...
@hummingrain yeah, after watching a couple of hummingbirds fighting over territory for the feeder after I hung it up, and seeing them *drop to the porch floor* and wrestle while pulling each other's feathers out--hummingbirds are *mean* little bugbirds! XD
@hummingrain and the wind is so *gusty*, it's like "oh I guess the wind is done I can hang up the birdfeeders again WAIT NOPE" *crash*thud* and now I'm feeling guilty because ANGRY HUMMINGBIRDS. XD
#Metoo movement & the backlash to it
"The cure is not punishment, though a little fear of consequences can have a salutary effect on wrongdoing and increase safety and equality for those who were targeted. The cure is cultural transformation, and it is underway, as it has been for the past half century."
o-kay, time to go take down the birdfeeders before they get lost over the side of the porch. o____o

a #caturday offering! Pooka getting pets and lap-snuggles. not shown: tremendous amounts of purr, drool spots on my leg. pictures are selfie-ish and include near-eye-contact by a human, which is why I've marked them "sensitive." #cats @cats@kitty.town
