Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Awesome, yep the mother hawk will rip your head if you touch her young. great mother.
The House Sparrows too if you mess with babies. Years ago I saw an entire flock chasing a cat with a baby in its moth. It was amazing to see how fast the cat ran from those determined birds.
Alles Vergaengliche
Ist nur ein Gleichnis;
Das Unzulaengliche
Hier wird's Ereignis;
Das Unbechreibliche
Hier ist's getan;
DAS EWIG WEIBLICHE
ZIEHT UNS HINAN.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Faust II)
(All that is changeable
Is but refraction;
The unattainable
Here becomes action;
Human discernment
Here is passed by;
WOMAN ETERNAL
DRAWS US ON HIGH.)
I remember these hawks hunting as a kid in the 60's Bushwick chasing other birds in the sky.
Distinctly all the loud squawking. I must have been a very violent scene my mother would drag me in the house.
I never seen them since then.
See? YOUR mother loved you.
Who sat me on that Ice cold pot
and squeezed me till I fot
Me Mudda
