Quote from: Mrblonde40 on July 09, 2021, 09:46:54 AMI actually didn't understand why people shot hosp until a couple years ago. They look so little and harmless, didn't realize they were murderous little beasts. So now I take them out too if they stick around long enough. But just the males, the females are too hard to differentiate from the native birds.Yeah I only shoot the males as well. I just can't tell them apart from some of our natives as well.
