Well a small active bird like that probably eats half it's weight in insects every day so just imagine what their mozzie problem must be like!

If you were the street cleaner it would...

I am amazed how many people are actually scared of birds- I mean have a real phobia. It's the whole wing flapping in your face thing that terrifies them, and many of them are real animal lovers otherwise ( which usually translates to "cute furry things")

Speciesists!!

I would love to see birds of any species on that scale. Maybe it's the conservationist in me seeing proof that the species is in good shape. Yes I do feel sorry for the street cleaner.

Yes, it certainly would! What about if you were a hairdresser?

Nope wouldn't make me hate them - better them than malaria!

Street cleaner is missing an opportunity for their own little guano supply business.

I know! I get so many people ask why I study birds, instead of something more 'interesting' (read: cute and cuddly). Have to admit, I am cautious around large parrots since they have pretty wicked beaks- but I think that's a reasonable caution!
