    If this is America, and it was a House Sparrow, bastard had it coming. Awful invasive species, and it’s one of, I believe, two animals birds which is always legal to kill here. Fuck sparrows. I’d swipe right.

    Edit thanks to extra info from replies.

      Nah, there are more. Wild hogs, Burmese pythons, lion fish, etc.

      Iirc killing Burmese pythons is legally required in Florida.

        Maybe I was thinking of just birds, since the other one in my head is the European Starling, which is awful for pretty much the same reasons as Sparrows.

        Thanks for the extra info!

          I was a bit off, but if you catch one you have to kill it then and there (unless you have a permit to take them to an off-site location). Some venomous reptile owners buy/catch them for food, though.

          My wife watches a channel of a wildlife conservationist in Florida (he’s the guy who just yoinks animals off trees and such), and every video he catches a ridiculous amount of them.
