My dad is a pensioner now, and got put in a lovely bungalow by local housing association. It came with with a lovely garden, and he was really excited by the prospect of a cherry tree.
Well, the cherries are ready, and the birds ate the lot!
I used to have a cherry tree in my garden. I was sitting in the branches picking cherries, when I saw a blackbird (not an SR-71) sitting on the outer twigs eating cherries I couldn’t reach. He had a look in his eye that said “these are my cherries and there’s nothing you can do about it!”
Then a sparrowhawk took him out in front of me and ate him. That’ll teach him.
What makes you think birds wouldn't still recognize moving zombies as a potential threat just like living humans or any other larger animal and just stay clear of them? Also, the possibility of zoonosis isn't all that far fetched either, resulting in zombie birds also spreading the plague
Pick your own cherries event sees high bird attendance.
"The rules don't say a bird can't be an attendee"
They can pay with trinkets and shiny things.
If I was a high bird I would love a pick your own cherries event
They ate all my blueberries this year. I'm going to keep doubling the plants until there is enough left for me.
That's the spirit!
"That's the spirit!" - birds
"keep widening the roads till traffic stops"
In an ecosystem I think more roads might just work
lol
Blackbirds? TIL the SR-71 can run off berries
If they're fermented I suppose it could! It probably could never run again, but maybe once lol

Fuckass bird thinks he can eat my sweet cherries
The birds, probably:
Mao, burning in hell: Same
That’s what I always thought about in zombie movies: birds would make short work of any zombie outbreak.

If zombie birds were a thing, then zombie movies would be incredibly short.
Birds are why the trees make the fruit anyway.
Not exactly, bugs and mammals play their parts too!
I'll give you mammals, but bugs are mostly shit at carrying seeds around.
Ah but the bugs polinate, which is why they're there!
Used to have a cherry tree, can relate
Same, the birds would take most of them.
Truly a day that will be remembered.
I have pet birds and those little fuckers will never let me eat blueberries in peace, I get my hands bitten till I hand them over
