Why Are Vultures Difficult
When people think of vultures they picture large, hideous bald birds eating the carcasses of dead of dying animals. Pretty harmless right? Wrong, in some places vultures can be difficult to live with especially when they form into large groups. Vultures are causing damage and many problems to the people living near them, although this is a big problem people can find solutions that are safe for both the vultures and the people. Firstly, vultures can be destructive in many different ways. Since vultures eat meat, cartilage and other soft chewy parts of deceased animals they therefore began to “chew on the caulking around windows.” and “shingles on a house.” says the article “Vulture Problems”. Not only did they trash property, they began hurting the living nature around them. The vultures would also pile up on the trees to watch out for food, with such huge committees, the vultures were killing whole trees with their weight. Another example of how they are trouble is their droppings, it may sound unpleasant but vulture droppings are full of “fungus and parasites and other diseases.” Says the article “Vultures: Black Vulture and Turkey Vulture”. Secondly, the bad behavior of vultures can lead to more problems and affects many people. If vultures keep destroying parts of property, the people will …show more content…
For example, take “Vulture Problems” it says “pyrotechnics, a type of firework, to scare the vultures out of the neighborhood.” this is a safe solution that will not hurt the vultures. Even though vultures might be unattractive, individuals still have to take precautionary measures for these important decomposers of the food chain. Another solution is “putting up deterrents. One deterrent is to place wires across the roofs” says “Vulture Problems” once again. The solutions to this problem aren’t limited and many people are still finding safer and better ways to remove the

    The Terrible Things by Eve Bunting, follows the theme of impending doom but no one wanting to believe it. We also view this theme in Elie Wiesel's Night and Martin Niemoller's First They Came For The Communists. In Eve Buntings interpretation of the Holocaust they show that even though the terrible things kept coming and taking animals away, the other animals didn't worry because it wasn't them. We see this become apparent on page four. The terrible things came for, ¨...Every creature with feathers on it´s back,¨ in response, the animals without feathers retorted, ¨We don't have feathers… nor we… nor we,¨ However, it states that after the birds were taken away things went back to almost normal. We also see this happen in Elie Wiesel's Night,…

    One of the ways that the producers made the film fun and easy for all ages to understand, was they used little, fuzzy, blue birds to act out the story. The bird’s actions and expressions made it easy to understand that they were not very nice. The ending revealed the true intentions of the film. It describes very clearly how bullying happens and what the consequences are. The consequences of the birds were that they all got flung off the wire and lost all of their feathers, because of their actions toward the friendly bird that they did not like.…

    The reader is told, “Let both sides invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce”. The quote is implying that the nation and our allies should focus on the solution of the problem instead blaming who or what caused it. Health scares and running out of food is not always something that we consider as a nation to happen but it does to multiple people even if we did not even realize. Medicine can be a solution to help prevent from emotional stress. People do not sweat the issue of diseases as much even though they do not know the outcome because they believe. It is a for sure thing because it is facts that is backed up by recommended sources either friends, trusted sources, doctors and pharmacist. Another example to help prevent food shortage is by the community uniting and taking matters into their own hands. The way the community can give back is by donating food to their local food banks. Actions cannot make others fearful because they know they have the power to make this world a better place so they feel more fearless instead of fearful. Finally, Fear is an emotion mostly out of care. It is portrayed in current real life situations today like: veterans, homeless people, and people with…

    While driving On Rte10 through the town of Hamden what seems to be an ordinary ride can become a scenic view of our nation's bird. On a tall skinny Birch tree over 40 ft in the air is lives a bald eagle in its natural habitat. In this nest lives a male adult and female adult with an Eaglet. The nest is located in a farming open field along a river bank. This field and river provides the eagles with a source of food. The eagles mostly eat fish, the adult eagle will swoop down to the water and grab a fish all in one motion flying the meal back to the nest to feed its family. The field is posted to prevent people from ruining the habitat, since the natural reproduction of this eagle is very important to its recovery from being endangered. I was able to view this community form the road and was able to watch the nest and occasionally watch the adult eagle fly away most likely looking for food to feed his family. The nest form my view was huge at least 3 feet in diameter perched up about 40 ft high on a birch tree. The surrounding area of the nest was clear of any branches or trees creating a clear access way for the birds to land. Below the nest was a large open field on the bank of an active river.…

    Drunk drivings are caused by alcohol, school shootings are caused by guns, laziness is caused by marijuana, and being late to class is caused by an alarm clock that does not work. Today, when a problem arrives in society, people quickly look for a scapegoat. Because the responsibility that people have, politicians, students, and anyone cannot bear this burden. Anyone can believe that inanimate objects cause the problems because some people cannot own up to admit their flaws. In addition, these people believe that there is no alternative way of improving, and they believe that by getting rid of these objects, there will be no problem in society. While people have these ideas where objects cause all these problems, this thinking is clearly…

    Clipping a bird's wings is something almost everyday bird’s goes through when sold to someone. Once a bird's wings are clipped the bird can still fly but not long distance or stay in the air for long. A bird with clipped wings will not be able to escape a dangerous situation, any form of defense is taken away, and they will lose balance. The main reason people clip a birds wings is so it doesn’t fly away but that you can train a bird to stay on your property or watch over the bird while outside. We also need to remember that flight is a natural form of existence for these animals. Clipping their wings would be like cutting off part of someone's leg and just acting likes it’s okay. In Europe clipping a bird's wings is illegal even if the bird is a house pet. It's seen as a form of animal cruelty and they also believe it makes the bird depressed and aggressive. This problem can be solved though! We can solve this problem by informing more and more people around…

    Macbeth Motifs

    • 875 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Metaphors allow the reader to paint a picture of written words referencing images that they are familiar with. Like any other animal, there is a hierarchy of strength and therefore power for birds. The metaphors that Shakespeare incorporates into Macbeth including birds allow the reader to reference their experience with strong birds fighting to create an image of what the humans in the story might have been fighting like. A captain describes how valiantly Macbeth fought in the battles in the beginning of the story, saying that he was “as sparrows eagles”, which paints a picture of a valiant and strong eagle fighting a small, meek sparrow (1.2.35-42). However, later in the story, when Macbeth’s position shifts and he is no longer perceived as a noble soldier but rather as a tyrannical ruler preying on those he controls, birds are used in a metaphor again to illustrate a changed image of Macbeth. “A falcon, tow’ring in her pride of place,” representing honor and innocence, “was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed,” illustrating an evil bird using its strength to overpower and kill an innocent bird (2.4.11-14).…

    birds in Macbeth

    • 465 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the play Macbeth written by Shakespeare there is many mentions of birds in the dialogue. As well it is one of the themes in this play, used as a metaphor to different examples, such as when the characters use the word fly as an expression of escaping or leaving. Furthermore the theme of birds is also used when speaking of specific birds having meanings, or birds in this play used to show pathetic fallacy. Specifically in act IV sense ii and iii there are various uses of the imagery of birds, such as Lady Macduff in her shock at learning that her husband has fled from Scotland, she accuses him of running away because he is afraid. She thinks he should have stayed to protect his family, and says, "He loves us not; / He wants the natural touch: for the poor wren, / The most diminutive of birds, will fight, / Her young ones in her nest, against the owl" (IV.ii.8-11). Meaning through this quote Lady Macduff uses an owl to symbolize a strong man and a wren to symbolize a weak man, also a foreshadowing to their murder. A little later in the same scene, Lady Macduff tries to believe that things are worse than they really are. She says to her son, "Sirrah, your father's dead; / And what will you do now? How will you live?" (IV.ii.30-31). Son answers, "As birds do, mother" (IV.ii.32), meaning that he will live with what he is given "With what I get, I mean; and so do they" (IV.ii.33). Lady Macduff replies to her son, "Poor bird! thou'ldst never fear the net nor lime" (IV.ii.34). "The net" and "lime" (birdlime, is a sticky substance, and a net, were how people caught birds), but Son, his mother means, is so innocent that he wouldn't fear either one.…
