In a particularly creative expression of anti-MAGA sentiment, a man who goes by the username “biz_dave” says he successfully trained crows to attack MAGA hats. As detailed in a series of posts on Threads, the self-proclaimed “big nerd” and “very part-time artist” stuck some tasty treats, including “peanuts, chicken scraps, mealworms, and dog kibble,” underneath a MAGA hat.
“Once they were coming regularly, it was only about three months to get them to the hat removal stage,” biz_dave wrote.

As a lifelong 49ers fan I both approve of this and have an extra bit of spite in my heart for the red hat maga assholes.
Chaotic good druids are the best.
Not all heroes wear capes, friends.
RIP 😞
Better not be a fan of any red flavored sports teams in that town, somehow I doubt the crows can read.
what about the enterprises that use Red Hat Enterprise Linux
I actually have a red RHEL hat. I haven’t been able to wear it for 10 years now
You know, I had a bright red baseball hat that I used to love. I stopped wearing it a little over a decade ago, because at least two people thought it was a MAGA hat and I didn’t want to get dragged into more conversations with MAGAts or alienate people who are now being targeted by the regime.
That’s unfortunate, but it happens and I bet I’m not the only one who stopped wearing red hats.
I just had the opposite thought the other day. I’ve always thought blue works better with my face. However er I may start wearing a red hat on the principal that those fuckers don’t get the color red! Decolonize the color wheel, live free!!!
They do sell red hats that say “fuck trump” and such
I wonder what fred durst wears these days.
Fred hats?
It looks like he wears mostly black and white hats now lol.
His IMDb pic is a white hat. Pretty sure you have agency over what pic IMDb uses.
I’ve been torn. I have almost a dozen greek fisherman hats in various colours, including red. I often won’t wear it, but I can’t part with it. I do still wear it sometimes, but I am prepared for any jackass to pipe up and say something stupid to me assuming I’m on their side so I can shut them the fuck up.
But I don’t wear it much because I don’t want folks on my side to assume I’m a fascist.
This timeline sucks, even if this is the tiniest reason it sucks.
I’ve also been looking for a pin to put on it that would help make things clear, but money’s tight so I just choose not to wear it except sometimes when I go to dialysis where people already know my politics. lol
Cincinnati Reds fans are bummed. Wait, they’re from Ohio. They’re probably into it.
God they really have been around for that long…
I also have a red/white hat that looks absolutely nothing like a maga hat, and I also stopped wearing it after a dude laughed and told me “man I thought you were wearing a trump hat I was about to kick your ass” (as if that was comforting lmao), so I understand the sentiment.
But also there’s still a bunch of sports teams that do use red fabric as well, red fabric isn’t exclusive to trump, and imo we should all learn to read instead of needing to avoid red fabric like a crip. It’s really not that hard to tell a maga guy from some swiftie that bought “one of those Travis Kelce sports hats” tbh, just read the dang hat, y’know?
I mean, the swastika was used in a very positive way for millennia, and from a design perspective it’s just a great symbol.
If we can give up the swastika, we can give up red baseball caps.
we should all learn to read
In fairness, we might have avoided some of this fascism if we had. heh
All he does is tell them what it represents, and that is enough.
if they like mealworms, then i bet they’ll like brainworms even more
Would be great if he could train woodpeckers to attack MAGA.
He should train it to shit on their heads too
You know, he answers that in detail. One, he doesn’t know how to train them to poop. And two, he doesn’t want to be a poop trainer.
i read somewhere that birds cant control it
Some birds do use poop as a defense. So at least some can to some degree control it.
Eh, something like that could be a fear-induced reflex. Even some people may wet/soil themselves in fright.
Oddly enough, that would mean that given the impulses of “fight or flight,” an animal that can literally fly will crap itself instead.
Based
Hero.
I’m sure he’ll be broken up about the crow when it gets shot
Fun Crow facts: Crows have been known to investigate deaths of their fellow crows and can hold generational grudges!
I actually got to watch this with magpies, and it might even have been a funeral! It was along an alley and a fairly large group congregated around the body. I thought it was happenstance, but then a subgroup of about four cycled through, protecting the body and intermittently nudging it to see if it was okay. Passing cars barely shifted the entire group, cars had to slow for them. Took about 45 minutes, and they were quite loud!
The next morning, another group of four spent much of the morning doing something similar. I’m inclined to think it was the same four. It was a beautiful experience, and kind of sad
I’m sure he’ll be broken up about the generations of crows that get shot, fixed
