I like this idea because it’s got the potential to be so personal. Like if there is a specific bird atop your enemies list it’s probably there for a specific reason

The birds identified in this story all suck because a 7 mile stretch of beach road between Pensacola Beach and Navarre is 25 mph during nesting season. No, I haven't gotten 2 speeding tickets on this road in the last 2 weeks. Why do you ask? www.pnj.com/story/news/l...

Ospreys. They always seem to build their nests in the worst possible spot as if they know it’s illegal to disturb them. They also projectile poop as they take off - poops which are massive btw - and it’s like the purposely fly over people when they do it

And again, as they’re endangered and it’s illegal to disturb them, they’re the bird equivalent of a secondary antagonist from an 80’s action movie who taunts the hero by waving a “diplomatic immunity” card in their face
