No way lol. 1. That's illegal. 2. More importantly I already said that my intuition may be wrong and so I don't like seeing birds being harmed in case I'm wrong.

I never said it was anything other than just my opinion lol. It's just an intution that I draw from the fact that mammalian brains are a lot more developed that reptile, bird or fish brains and the ability to react to stimuli intuitively seems to me to be a more primitive, less complex and easier to evolve thing that sentience does. Sentience seems to me to be a mere side effect of complex neurons that happens to give life all its good and bad values, and makes experiences real whereas the ability to react to simuali is something that only really requires movement and the ability of an organism to react to its enviornment, which is perfectly possible to do without sentience. Robots can be programmed to do that. Natural selection instills that in both animals that are sentient and not sentient.
Yes this is just my opinion. It makes a whole lot of sense to me and how I see the world. I would still treat birds decently because I may be wrong.
