Global Warming and Birds

Today ends another very productive week and key events that shall be left behind. The coming Monday is another typical Coffee Day and a fortnight from today we'll have a break in London, this time for leisurely purposes. Next month it's time for the birthday and for holidays, set aside a lot more feeding of the birds at the park (we'll get them another large sack of seeds on Monday).

It's getting very cold here, we had sub-zero temperatures for two days in a row, and the birds are very hungry, sometimes even desperate for food (looking in places that haven't been used for feeding since June). Those are 'free-range' birds, not pets inside enclosures. They're wild birds and climate change must be really harsh on them. Until recently we had critically low water levels in Manchester; rainfall was below expectations and we suppose that some datacentres contribute to waste of water.

The birds don't understand concepts like global warming, but they observe a scarcity of food. Remember to share food with wildlife. Animals aren't objects or "assets"; they're living things with feelings and desires. █
