It is actualy something no one thinks about, but is very interesting. I have one thing to ad. I'm rather sure certain predatory birds live a good amount of time. I'm not sure how long Eagles, Hawks, and other large predators live, but I think it is a decent amount of time. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
Small birds are prey of many hawks, shrikes, and other animals.
Cage birds and zoo birds sometimes live long lives, as do geese and other protected birds. You sure like to argue a point. But this is a little more on the subject. This is a private posting area. A valid username and password combination is required to post messages to this discussion.
