PSA:My Mother never told me this! Reblog to save a baby Bird:)
This is totally true. Birds of any species have a limited sense of smell and could never detect human scent, or any particular scent, really.
okay, now i know.
Echoing that I read about this on Julie Zickefoose’s blog many years ago (and I remembered the fact that it’s OK to help baby birds better than I remembered Julie Zickefoose’s name…thanks, Google search.)
Also, adolescent birds fall out of the nest and flop around on the ground because they’re learning how to fly! Picking them up and taking them to wildlife shelters is the equivalent of calling CPS because a college freshman is wandering around without her parents!

“You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario which is both complicit and complex. It’s misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman’s sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film.”
