“Plague enthusiasts” 😂😂😂. The McCormick Place bird strikes made the news down here. Their ambivalence was shocking. We have a small backyard, but planted quite a few trees and shrubs so we joke that now we’re running a bird sanctuary. We have so many birds in the spring and summer. We had a few strikes one year and that was enough for us to put stickers on our windows. The solution is astonishingly simple. I can’t imagine shrugging my shoulders at 1,000 dead birds.

I love that you have a bird sanctuary! It's the best. I planted elderberries and a serviceberry and am hoping the birds notice this year. And yes, the tepid reaction to the bird strikes was predictable but no less frustrating.

The Wikipedia page going on and on in its encyclopedic style, writing "Farto" over and over again, is a huge bright spot.
