Birds seem to know what they are doing, I wouldn't worry about that at all. Nature is best left alone, imo it doesn't need our help other than the damage we cause and it doesn't care anyway. As far as we know, the venom may not hurt them much, it'd be interesting to look into. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody has looked into that. Birds are fast and clever in nature.

Until now I have never understood the different between poison and venom. I always used those terms interchangeably never realizing how different they are. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, it really is pretty fascinating. On another note, I was at a wedding two weeks ago (the groom is an snake/spider/scorpion person) and he had suckers for the kids to eat with scorpions in them. They were REAL. He said they really were edible. I could not imagine how that could be possible, but now I understand how it is possible to eat scorpions....not that I plan on doing that at any time....... :eek:

Thanks! FYI, the birdy was back to normal this morning attacking the neighborhood cat for getting to close to the nest. :) I love happy endings...although the scorpion may not agree..

Scorpions are supposed to taste of shrimp with a hint of citrus, but theyre way too expensive for me to cook any of mine LOL. Think about this, check out a lobster. HOLY CRAP they look weird and nasty but taste soo good. Arachnids are like the crustations of land, people just think its weird to eat bugs in america for some reason, in asian countries theyre street vendor food.;P

I just can't eat anything with eyeballs. Not even a bug. I love animals and little creature's too much. But I digress..
