Baby, you give lo-o-ove, a BAD name!

I don’t know, it might be a good idea. If you’re involved in a “mass shooting event” you could just drop and play dead.

You would just be, ahem,. painting a target (in blood).

Okay, I'll see myself out.

You’re starting to make me think that “Lime @Not_Lime” made the whole thing up. What a scamp.

Many predators don't want to eat sick animals though.

Usually with birds the answer is sexual selection. As a group they seem to have a general preference for bright, colorful things.
