Speaker 2 (00:11):
Stack one segment on top of another, be the best
version of ourselves. Experts are predicting about four hundred million
birds flying last night and tonight across the Metroplex. It's
the great fall bird migration. Yes, flying south for the
winter still happens. The problem is our buildings keep getting taller.
(00:33):
When I was a kid, you drive on thirty five,
you could see the American Airline Center. Now you don't
even know where it's at. High rise here, high rise there,
and that is danger high voltage for birds flying through
as they go to get to their warm climate.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
How you trying to go vacation.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
On the beach, go poop on some people down down
there to get away from the cold.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
And they're crashing into buildings.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
All the time.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
The other day it was crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I was. I saw a bunch of birds and they
were like resting. They would land on power lines and
they'd immediately get barbecued. Oh no, And my wife's like,
what's going on with those birds? And I said, high.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Voltage, it's pretty good man. It's your fault. It really
not your fault.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I like watch.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Started a chain.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh all right, who's gonna do Azzie sound tomorrow? He
was about three seconds into that. We knew he was
going somewhere. It's like, Okay, his cadence has change.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
He's been having it.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
We know he's never in the car with Cat. I've
been saying this for a long time. Birds are sketchy
and we don't. They're a bit of a mystery, like
the poon and you know, you look at the way
birds can bring down jet airliners. You know, like you
got a bird can just fly into an engine. Suddenly
(02:04):
the whole plane is exploding. It's like, dude. And so
sometimes birds are migrating, they fly into buildings, right and
they all die because they're smashing into glass. And they
don't they don't see them. They seem smart. Yeah, it's
it's interest. There's a there's I think there. Birds are
a bit of a mystery. You're seeing there's four million
of them flying one hundred four hundred million, four hundred
(02:25):
million dogs. It's like an incredible lottery. It's the power
bird and no one's talking about the dog. The bird poop,
I mean, it's a trail of bird poop. It's all
I could think about.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, also, I think there's quite a clean up job
that needs to be happening, because, according to this NBC
five article, in the United States, three point five b
billion birds die from collisions with buildings every year.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's insane to me. Who's picking that?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Uh? Yeah, dude, I uh we have we have birds
die at our house.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
What're all doing? They smack into our windows? Yeah, it's
good if you have any type of yeah, glass window
that they can't see. Yeah, they have. They have eyes
on the sides of their heads, and it's really screwing
them up.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
They have tiny brains, but you would think that they
would be smart enough not to fly full speed into
a window, yeah, or not to fly into an airplane engine.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, especially after one of their friends has done it too.
I always assumed they all know each other. No, you've
seen It's like, why does this keep happening? That's Ben's
point about that day. That's Ben's point about them being sketchy.
That's what they still have friends. They don't have friends.
No one can trust them. And really, if you think
about the term bird brain, that's an insult. Have you
(03:39):
guys ever heard that? Not till now, real good bird brain.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I think they say that because birds have the smallest brains.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I'm about to bring back bird brain. It's like an
eighties bully and a show. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
McFly, That's what I was thinking to.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I had a problem with this though, because there's a
section of this article says how can I help with
bird migration? All Texans businesses and residents are encouraged to
turn off non essential lights from eleven PM to six
a m. Well, what about from nine pm to eleven
pm when it's still dark outside? Like, those are two
hours where we're just gonna we'll put it with faith
that the birds won't be idiots.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I think they nap from nine to eleven I mean,
what is that? That's very confusing. What is the most
likable bird?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Blue j are a card? I think big bird?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Are they? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
They're beautiful, but big bird is dope.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The hummingbird?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Humming bird for sure. Hummingbirds work their ass off, it's insane.
They have great cores.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I think the eagle the greatest bird. It's a colors
don't run, you know. You know what I'm saying, A
boot in your ass. He's so stoic looking pissed.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
He doesn't.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
He doesn't look like he ever is down for shenanigans,
Right man, There is that one I was talking about
the other day, the meanest looking bird.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Shoo.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, I'm out on that. I like a good penguin.
