前些天工作原因从公司拿了一个ipad2回来一看，nnd目前没法破解，只能用itune，所
以我每天一边忍受itune的折磨，一边咒骂jobs。我还在pda版发过帖子说在几台不同电
脑里同步一个ipad用的太难受了。
天天骂，天天骂，结果就发现jobs挂了。。。其实我也没真想他死，因为前些天和小
loli坐地铁回家就把ipad2给她玩，人家玩那些小鸟，水果忍者什么的还挺开心的。
你们说他挂了是不是我的原因啊。。。偶有点内疚啊，实在没办法我只能入基督教了，
因为上帝会原谅我的。果轮也许不会。

Elisabeth Rosenthal, Twitty Was Right: Cats Are a Bird's No 1 Enemy. New
York Times, Mar 21, 2011.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/21/science
/21birds.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=cat%20bird&st=cse
Quote:
"Nearly 80 percent of the birds were killed by predators, and cats were
responsible for 47 percent of those deaths
"The American Bird Conservancy estimates that up to 500 million birds are
killed each year by cats — about half by pets and half by feral felines. *
* * By contrast, 440,000 birds are killed by wind turbines each year,
according to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, although that
number is expected to exceed one million by 2030 as the number of wind farms
grows to meet increased demand.
My comment:
(a) Tweety
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweety
(a fictional Yellow Canary; in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie
Melodies series; The name "Tweety" is a play on words, as it originally
meant "sweetie", along with "tweet" being a typical English onomatopoeia for
the sounds of birds./ Despite the perceptions that people may hold, owing
to the long lashes and high pitched voice of Tweety, Tweety is male; created
in 1942)
(b) catbird
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catbird
(Several unrelated groups of songbirds are called catbirds because of their
wailing calls, which resemble a cat's meowing)
(c) After reading quotation 1, I wondered how many bird deaths were
attributed to glass. Here is what the study finds:
"During our study of post-fledging survival, 61% (42/69) of individuals died
before reaching independence. Predation on juveniles accounted for 79% (33/
42) of all mortalities (Bethesda 75% (6/8), Spring Park 75% (12/16), and
Opal Daniels 83% (15/18) with the vast majority (70%) occurring in the first
week post-fledging. Directly observed predation events involved domestic
cats (n = 6; 18%), a black rat snake (n = 1; 3%), and a red-shouldered hawk
(n = 1; 3%). Although not all mortalities could be clearly assigned,
fledglings found with body damage or missing heads were considered
symptomatic of cat kills (n = 3; 9%), those found cached underground of rat
or chipmunk predation (n = 7; 21%) and those found in trees of avian
predation (n = 1; 3%). The remaining mortalities (n = 14; 43%) could not be
assigned to a specific predator. Mortality due to reasons other than
predation (21%) included unknown cause (n = 2; 22%), weather related (n = 2;
22%), window strikes (n = 2; 22%) and individuals found close to the
potential nest with no body damage (n = 3; 34%), suggesting premature
fledging, disease or starvation.
(d) An African American family took me in as their son. They kept a cat in
their rural home, which was declawed at an early age. Somehow the cat would
bring dead birds back home, to the bewilderment of the family: How does he
catch birds without claws?
