There’s something wrong with the birds. In the last year,
I’ve witnessed more bird collisions and casualties than ever. This week a robin
swooped in front of a car and clipped the fender. A mass of white feathers flew
into the air as the little bird rolled to the edge of the road. I hope it
survived.
Is it poor timing, poor training, recklessness, or
fearlessness that’s causing birds to engage in risky behavior? You may develop
a whole new appreciation for risk after watching this scene:

It’s amazing how everybody kept moving. If we tossed in a
few more tourists, the entire “system” would crumble because we’re used to
lights and lanes—and much less road risk. Can you imagine living with that kind
of free-for-all? We all have different risk comfort levels. What was the eventual outcome of
your riskiest decision?
