Guest malikai Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hey guys, I shot a bird (what looked to be a starling). I was happy because starlings are pests and I killed one. I later googled starling and It didnt look just like what i shot, so I googled a female redwing blackbird. Well thats what it turned out that i shot. I feel terrible for shooting a female redwing. Now all of her babies will die and its all my fault. Just felt like telling you guys. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderpancake Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Re: Sad i guess i should turn myself in for all the doves and quail i have shot, since i might get in big trouble for killing birds, because we all know it is against the law to kill any kind of bird! blackbirds and blue jays are big pests around here, i have seen both of them kill songbird babies in their nests.
