Episode 14
Turns out that birds are just as pissed about the changes to the Endangered Species Act as we are. In this episode, we highlight birds who fight back and give humans a taste of their own medicine. GO BIRDS, GO!!
Note: if we're being real, these birds don't seek out people to kill or thirst for human blood. But some people have been killed or injured by birds, namely because the human victim was threatening a bird, getting too close, or encroaching upon an aggressive species' territory. Consider this podcast episode your warning to not be stupid...and bask in the majestic glory that is BIRDS.
