I'm sorry, anon. Thank-you for not taking action against the red-tails. With luck they'll disperse soon and find their own territories, and maybe progress to bigger prey? (Also, think what it would be like if all the songbirds matured - they'd have no food to eat and would starve.)

AYRT—I would never hurt one, the worst I’ve ever done is throw a lemon—and miss—at one that was eating a hummer. They’re not scared of me, if I whistle at them they make their long drawn out screaming call that sounds kind of whistley back, and will hang out less than five feet from me and give zero fucks. And like I said I’m pretty sure they’re a teen gang—after they leave their nests and parents but before they’ve got territories of their own they hang out together.

There’s really not enough prey for them to live so close together for long, maybe not even if they start eating rats too. They really are destroying the local songbird population for a couple blocks in every direction, including rarer birds than house sparrows, because the biggest raptor group I ever saw previously was three birds and I’m not sure they all made it. I think their parents must’ve fed them a rodent-heavy diet for them to all make it past fledging.

There’s a barn owl family three blocks away that mostly eats rodents, and I don’t set out a bird feeder for fear of it becoming a cat feeder, only water because I live in the land of drought.
