I haven't been following this as I know there are some who disagree with my point of view. I didn't realize I'd catch so much flack. For that I am sorry.
dont be sorry. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and you weren't rude or nasty in expressing yours and I think you made it pretty clear you weren't referring to everyone who has lost birds. What I hear rather is just total frustration and have to admit have felt that too.
It's not just predators either, it's bird losses in general. I Remember going back through one posters threads after something caught my attention and for months and moths they had been posting alternately about their chickens dying of disease and about buying new birds. That is the sort of poster I took you to be referring to. Common sense says deal with your disease problem (or predator) first but instead they just keep buying and the birds keep dying and they post again and again about their losses and not realising the back story people offer advice which is too much effort for them to take and they buy more birds as a quick fix instead. I've seen the same thing with predator posts, advice is given, advice is ignored and birds die and are replaced as it's easier. Not fair to the poor birds.
