What if birds were very friendly and not shy at all?

[Floogeldy]

They would be flying into our cars and riding on our laps. If you walked into you backyard they would come flying and running to see you, sit on your feet, shoulders and head, and perhaps nibble on your earlobe, or something.

I guess that would be fun for a while.

1. It would be fun until it turned into a real life version of 'The Birds'

:scared:

[BlueJazz]

2. I like the Crows in that window cleaning Commercial that are....

...always playing jokes on humans...

[petronius]

3. Then cats would be very very very fat, and there wouldn't be many birds

after a while, and we'd all be covered in birdshit...

[BlueJazz]

4. But if the birds were intelligent the Cats would be covered in...

...birdshit also....

[petronius]

5. That would add another dimension to the question

We do have one bird around here who is smart enough to scold, harass, peck, and pluck one of our cats, but so far it hasn't escalated to pooping on...

[BlueJazz]

6. A-Ha..Sounds like one of those "Republican Birds" n/t

[xchrom]

7. they kinda sorta do in my back yard -- cause i feed them.

[Ivan Sputnik]

8. It would be fun for about one minute

Then it would become really, really annoying.

9. I'd be eating a lot more chicken?

:shrug:

[pitohui]

10. i see you have hummingbirds

i know it's a burden but try to bear up

i've found if you stop feeding them, they stop flying up and butt-kissing PDQ, they are quite self-interested little guys

11. Skip Fox's sigline popped into my head right away:

When he learned the language of the birds,
He stayed inside as much as possible.

12. they'd be a lot easier to eat.

squab is just fancy talk for pigeon, but it tastes alright.
