Well, at least can we let Max take out that one bird in the neighborhood that divebombs everybody waiting for the bus? It's all black with a bit of red or orange on it's neck. I don't mind the pigeons, or the sparrows, or the robins, or the cardinals, or the blue jays, or the crows. They can all live..........but lets make that one bird go extinct.

Probably a nest up in the corner of the bus stop. The only time I've ever been dive-bombed was by some swallows when they had a nest up in the corner of the house's porch.

That bird is doing that cause it got eggs somewhere close by. Or they already hatched. Still want to kill it?

Yes. Don't raise your kids at the bus stop if you can't play nice with the bus people. That bird had ample time to realise that people are always using the bus stop. Bird should have laid eggs somewhere peaceful. Now bird is being an asshole for no reason as a response to its own bad choices. We should kill off asshole birds like that and let the species evolve smarter and less mean.

Fun fact: a lot of fairy tales have wolves going after humans with a ferocity you will not see in nature. This is because back when those stories were written, they did. However, humans are vindictive. Man-killer wolves would be hunted down with spears and killed. Over time, wolves evolved to be more cautious of humans and less aggressive. And now our wolf problems are solved.
