WTF... defective osprey?

[savemejebus]

I am sitting here inside the house watching an osprey on the ground by one of the mango trees. Less than two feet from this osprey is a squirrel on the ground happily chewing at a freshly-plucked mango, as calm as can be. The other osprey is chilling on my fence while two iguanas scurry around underneath him. Do I have defective birds of prey living at my house?

Its like my coyotes.  I filmed my orchard at night for several weeks.  Had a whole family of coyotes but only one ate all the fruit.  The rest were not interested.  I even tossed out a few dead rabbits and my vegetarian coyote ignored them and went for the fruit.

Don't ospreys pretty much solely eat fish?

hmm... if that's true I need a source for squirrel-sized fish costumes.

Yeah they'll ignore squirrels. Fish lovers

I keep reading the title and thinking... wow... I wish an osprey would land in my backyard....

Ha! That's one way to prune your trees.
