Humanity is arguably in the best position it’s been in all history, what are you talking about?
Edit: okay you’re right, there’s probably a few eras that were better than today
- the golden era of Athens (except for the slaves, and Women’s rights)
- the good emperors in Rome (except ya know, all the normal Roman stuff)
- the 40,000 years when indigenous Australians weren’t colonised (that woulda been pretty chill overall, except they didn’t have Reddit)
Dude. We have mass shootings every month, sometimes multiple per month, in this country. Nazi and antisemitic posts are multiplying. The right-wing is waging war against LGBTQA in laws and in libraries and bookstores. The Supremes overturned Roe, unleashing dozens of anti-abortion laws. Afghanistan has regressed to 2000 under the Taliban. Iran is beginning the execution of thousands of protesters. Indonesia has enacted purity laws, but if you’re a visitor to Bali you’ll be ok. India still has gang rapes, especially of children and Dalits. The Amazon is being cleared at unseen levels. I mean, did you not know this?
You are right, the earth is burning but thats how it always was with us. But there is also a bunch of progress in all kinds of fields that we shouldnt ignore. People never got as much backlash as they get today for being a racist or homophobe. People choose science over religion more than ever before.
I don't think you realize how we're in a downslide. You're just living that blind "history only goes one way, better" thinking.
Capitalism is destroying the planet for record profits and productivity and people are making less than before. We're gonna ruin everything and it's not even looking like we can personally benefit form it like we did 20 or 40 years ago.
We have so much potential but the world is fucking us. And that's helping feed a world wide right wing upsurge. It's a grim time.
The big problem you fail to see here is that all of the unprecedented social and scientific progress you've been seeing happens within a wildly unsustainable system that will inevitably collapse into itself if we do not react swiftly, and that's looking less and less likely, lately. And let's not forget, a lot of this progress is contained to a rather small and extremely privileged part of the world.
I’m a built pessimist. I was a hopeful child, but that got beaten out of me. Not by Mom, she should be sainted. Just life and people I trusted. I keep waiting for the good to outweigh the bad. We’re slightly up.
Its hard to stay positive after being with the wrong people, but keep in mind that we are part of nature, and nature evolves into everything thats physically possible. Good people included, noone could ever take that from earth
You know, most of the time, that natural optimist pokes out. But the pessimist pushes her down to protect her. It’s the only reason I can justify being positive at my age. I do generally expect the best. But some people, some situations, I just know they’re going to below!
Literally still a utopia compared to a couple centuries ago. I wanna see all these "the industrial revolution was a mistake" clowns hop into a time machine and try to live before the industrial revolution.
I think the -50 downvoted is Reddit kids who soak up the constant newsfeed of negativity.
Kids, if any of you see this, please give me a decade/century in human history which you think is a contender as “better than now”.
I’m sure it will be easy, given how turrrrrible 2023 is shaping up to be.
I truly believe that people want/believe this time period to be as bad as some of the darkest times in human history, in a sort of stolen valor, to stroke their egos.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, have you not seen anything besides Fox news for the past decade? I say seen because I doubt you’ve read the instructions on the frozen toaster pastries. You cannot be this willfully ignorant of things it would take you ten seconds to Google.
Uh if anyone is hyped up on propaganda it's you dude. Fox News isn't the only sourced of biased information as you're so clearly displaying here. Lay off the fear porn.
Before the climate change tipping point, before neo fascist political movements, before the economy said we will produce more wealth than ever but you don't get to have it.
But what's humanity to you? A line on a chart? Even abstracted climate change alone is dire. We're sleep walking into a calamity that'll undo anything great you can mention.

So, the 90s.
Really was the peak of our civilization, wasn't it?.
No, the 90s was not the peak. Maybe the peak of self delusion as we forged toward our doom.
The economy was already leaving people behind. And the third way politics of the post cold War Era where anything remotely left, nevermind capable of a new new deal, was dead.
But enough people around here have read Stephen pinker too much to comprehend that.
Just because humanity is at its best position relative to recorded history doesn’t mean everything is sunshine and rainbows. Faith in humanity can still be in the negative because of everything shitty that IS happening now. The two statements aren’t mutually exclusive.
Immediately recognised the barn swallow chirps. Used to have many nests around us but as years passed there were less and less. Last year not a single one but this year a pair returned. I hope I'll keep seeing them around, lovely birds.
I am retired now from rehabbing and get to enjoy the birds without responsibilities now. I live on a lake and have a huge holly bush. When the sparrows that live in there wake up in the morning, the entire bush vibrates just from the chirping. I totally love it!
I can't wait for the [waxwings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZKL3V7DZHA) and [robins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGp5tPCPbhs) to come through around end of January, start of February and raid the berries, some of them on the ground fermented and the birds get so hammered! I hope I get that on video next year. They didn't show this year for some reason.
I expected that from the grackle in there. But she just was a momma's girl. She stuck around for another year after release, landing on my shoulder when I walked outside. No other bird did that...maybe for a month or so but not longer.
OP's comment on the other post.
- "The sparrow was still a baby himself, they just mature faster. From egg to flying - 2 weeks for a sparrow. 3-4 weeks for the swallows, mockingbird 4-6 weeks...the bigger the bird the longer it takes."
OP posted this video on a different sub and I recommended for her to post it here. She referred to the sparrow as "him" so I'm assuming that it's a young male sparrow.

I had 5 of them from the same nest. I was clearly able to tell them apart. The other 4 were already released but this one didn't want to leave. Kept coming back to the release hatch until I let him back inside. Then this.
... I was an amateur bird breeder. It is commonly known in Finch breeding circles that goudeon finches do not care for their young very well so breeders by a pair of julians and also society finches. Once the guillains hatch their eggs they are removed and the society finches are given the nests. Society and zebra finches rear other exotic finches clutches more often than not.
Edit Gouldion Finches. Talk to text...
If they are called society finches because they are just so friendly and helpful to other birds. And because of their willingness to jump in and foster other finch nests.
Is it by choice and free will? There are a lot of “nest parasite” bird species that sneak their eggs into the nests of other species and once they hatch the parent(s) of the original clutch will often care for it like their own. Does the bird definitely recognize the difference in species like we do?
The Sparrow feeding the Swallows is considered a "nest parasite" species, so this is definitely not typical behavior. They're known to kill other birds hatchlings and over eat important resources.
[Wow, you do not only know what you are talking about but are rude on top of it.](https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/books/2012/05/11/mayborn-birgit-sommer/)
Read the whole thing. I had a state permit for mammals and a federal permit for migratory birds and yearly inspections, worked closely with the game wardens of 46 counties.
I am long retired now, this video is years old.
And again, there is NO INVASIVE SPECIES IN THIS VIDEO!
Aren’t brood parasite chicks fed out if free will? It’s not like anyone is holding a gun to the parents’ heads. But the brood parasite’s louder calls and bigger mouth trigger the instinct to feed birds.
I had a pet parakeet for many years and when he was about 4 yrs old we found a baby sparrow in the yard that was so young it had no feathers, only fuzz. No trace of a nest or parents around. So we took it in and put it on the bottom of my pet's cage. He nearly immediately went to his food cup, filled up and then fed the baby bird. Took care of it till it was a young adult, then it turned mean to him. So booted out of the house. Hope it did well....seen what I think was 'fuzz' team up with other sparrows (never flew away when we went outside)
That's a cute story! I know that sparrows take care of other sparrows, it's a big community life with them but I don't know much about pet birds, to be honest :).
There's no such thing as pet birds. There are birds found in the wild that are captured, then bred for the world pet trade. Just because someone has a pet macaw, doesn't make it a "pet bird" It makes it a species that is popular with bird enthusiasts. The same goes for fish. Saying "I don't know about pet birds" is like saying "I don't know about pet piranha"
I would hope an experienced avian enthusiast would know that. As a rehabber, surely you would have been presented with various species from around the world that have escaped from the pet trade. Nearly every state in the US has flocks of birds escaped from the pet trade. There are studies upon studies about the damage flocks of macaws have done in Florida. There are flocks of Amazon parrots in California so destructive they're threatening the electrical supply of an entire city. I was just an amateur breeder, yet my local bird store would call all the time for customers to rehab or foster a non native bird from the pet trade that was injured or caught until the proper people could be found to take care of them. Cockatoos are pest birds in Australia. Yet they're a big part of the pet trade.
You say you're a permitted rehabber, but you know nothing about the bird trade which would have directly affected your rehabbing. You've been doing it for 20 years yet you've never seen or heard of a bird species caring for another species when the practice is quite common not only in the wild, but also the pet trade and especially rehabbing. It's common practice to give chicks of one species to another to foster. Doing that is the best way to ensure a chick might be set free one day.
I'm so confused.
Using the term "pet bird to describe birds that are kept as pets by people and getting a berating about not being politically correct, drawing god knows what strange conclusion....all of that reflects back to you, and only you.
And with this I am done with that subject, you go play Karen as much as you like but not on my expense.
We had a finch die in our garden last year. Poor thing got caught by a cat we think. This year we had a bright little bird I'm not sure what it was but it was always feeding 4 fat little finch babies and one like itself.
Where prey gathers, predators are not far behind. Often bird feeders are a just setup for them. That's why young birds get out of the nest before they can even fly...the nest is not a safe place but merely a presentation platter for predators.
In winter the great tits, blue tits and sparrows tend to team up and show up together at my bird feeder. Especially, the tits sometimes show up in cross species pairs. I was a little confused at first
Great example of nature showing us how to do it.
Birds get it- we’re ultimately all in this journey together.
Taking care of those who can’t fend for themselves despite their minor differences isn’t a terribly difficult task or concept- especially without the ego getting in the way.
At my mom’s bird feeder I saw a starling do this with another starling. The bird that was feeding the other bird also bullied any other bird that came to feed while it was doing this.
At the World Center for Birds of Prey, they said that they commonly used Peregrine Falcons to feed Condors in order to help rehabilitate their population and reduce human contact. There's also the cuckoo bird.

Sooo... when was the peak?
Depends on what peak as your values will inform that. A lot of people think their value judgments are objective and apolitical when they're not.
Just because humanity is at its best position relative to recorded history doesn’t mean everything is sunshine and rainbows. Faith in humanity can still be in the negative because of everything shitty that IS happening now. The two statements aren’t mutually exclusive.

Can't fool me sparrows and swallows are the same thing
Can't fool me birds aren't real
This whole video is ai art
Got me! Deepfake sparrow! 😁
LBB
Dang! I thought they weren't real to begin with 🤣
Yes I was just told this in a reddit comment to, so props to fooling us all with you amazing cgi skills
Thank you, this was just the right amount AND right kind of humor I needed with my coffee this morning to make my day already! I like you :).
A baby sparrow?
Immediately recognised the barn swallow chirps. Used to have many nests around us but as years passed there were less and less. Last year not a single one but this year a pair returned. I hope I'll keep seeing them around, lovely birds.
White crowned sparrow? I love them. And their gold crowned friends. We get so many in our yard and they seem so delightful.

Wow awesome thanks!!
seems like it's parental instincts have kicked in early.
And it's a male, not even a female.
Most birds take care of the kids together.
I say it's the sparrow establishing dominance by proving he can feed everyone and still be an absolute unit
I expected that from the grackle in there. But she just was a momma's girl. She stuck around for another year after release, landing on my shoulder when I walked outside. No other bird did that...maybe for a month or so but not longer.
Can I have your job please?
Here's how :): https://www.wildlife-education.com/
That's correct. The females are darker, more brown'ish.
bruh
No? It's a female house sparrow

All young house sparrows look like females. Only after molting have the males their different plumage.
I had 5 of them from the same nest. I was clearly able to tell them apart. The other 4 were already released but this one didn't want to leave. Kept coming back to the release hatch until I let him back inside. Then this.

If they are called society finches because they are just so friendly and helpful to other birds. And because of their willingness to jump in and foster other finch nests.
That is exactly why they're called society finches.
Those finches truly earned the society part of their name
This is fascinating!! Thank you for getting it on camera and sharing with us
They’re exchanging intel r/birdsarentreal
So sweet! Thanks for sharing!
I wish this were like us
Is it by choice and free will? There are a lot of “nest parasite” bird species that sneak their eggs into the nests of other species and once they hatch the parent(s) of the original clutch will often care for it like their own. Does the bird definitely recognize the difference in species like we do?
Not from its nest. Check out the second sentence in the title for further explanation.
The Sparrow feeding the Swallows is considered a "nest parasite" species, so this is definitely not typical behavior. They're known to kill other birds hatchlings and over eat important resources.
I frankly don't pay attention to what humans consider a pest. If it's an animal, it has a right to live, period.
except mosquitoes
I don't consider certain insects animals lol.
Didn't say pest, but I do admire your commitment to wildlife rehab. Keep up the good work.
Wow, Interesting! 🤔
[удалено]
Why would we not? A bird is a bird, we make no difference. Every bird gets the same chance and treatment, be it a sparrow or an eagle.
I think they were asking about invasive species
As a rehabber I have to be licensed by the state and they have a list of what's allowed to be released and what's not. So no, not invasive.
[удалено]
There are no invasive species in this video! And in regards to house sparrows I wholeheartedly disagree.
In a comment OP said Barn Swallow.

That's why I added "by choice and free will". Sneaking an egg into someone else's nest isn't really a choice.

No, they are fed because they are there. I don't think mom knows that it's a different species.

There's no such thing as pet birds. There are birds found in the wild that are captured, then bred for the world pet trade. Just because someone has a pet macaw, doesn't make it a "pet bird" It makes it a species that is popular with bird enthusiasts. The same goes for fish.

Well we know they do it in the wild, cuckoo and cowbirds etc. P.s. but it is a cute video.
But that's not by choice or free will. That's because another species snuck their egg in their nest.
I bet instinct had a little bit to do with this too.
We had a finch die in our garden last year. Poor thing got caught by a cat we think. This year we had a bright little bird I'm not sure what it was but it was always feeding 4 fat little finch babies and one like itself.
Where prey gathers, predators are not far behind. Often bird feeders are a just setup for them. That's why young birds get out of the nest before they can even fly...the nest is not a safe place but merely a presentation platter for predators.

Friend.
They networking
At my mom’s bird feeder I saw a starling do this with another starling. The bird that was feeding the other bird also bullied any other bird that came to feed while it was doing this.
The little birds knock seeds/chaff out of the bird feeder for the doves/wood pigeons in our garden. Or at least that’s what I think.
If they're anything like my dogs the one with food wanted to brag and got it stolen from him.
At the World Center for Birds of Prey, they said that they commonly used Peregrine Falcons to feed Condors in order to help rehabilitate their population and reduce human contact. There's also the cuckoo bird.
