Reply #4: Yes kid, that bird did die. [View All]

And thousands more. I've heard most birds who are cleaned die anyway. Cleaning them just makes people feel better, feel like they're doing something good.

A drop of oil spread on an egg by a parent's oiled feather will kill the egg, so many of the millions of birds about to be born will be killed too, this being the nesting season for their parents.

How anyone could give the next 90 years to their innocent child is just beyond me.

Of course the precious little darlings are happy playing. Oh don't rain on their sweet parade with this sort of news! :eyes:
