  I think this is really sad, it just speaks volumes to me that when humans 
have guns how they destroy things with such hate and vitriol.  Ag, shame.

    Subject: [va-richmond-general] Robins and a sparrow


    Have any of you seen robins near your house? I mean like a few hundred of 
them at once? Two mornings in a row I have heard loud constant chatter at my 
house. I go outside and find the trees full of robins. Today I found about 12 
robins hopping around on the driveway across the street. What?s causing them to 
flock here? We do have holly bushes and a pear tree with fruit on it. 
     
    Also I heard some outlandish news from the Netherlands. A house sparrow was 
killed by an air rifle because it flew near some dominoes in a row and knocked 
over 23,000 of them with one swoop. I was surprised to find that this bird, a 
nuisance here and not protected by law, is on the endangered species list in 
the Netherlands. Can?t we ship a few hundred of them there?
