AIBU to feel guilty for not stopping a crow?

[AliceNotInChains]

Just seen a crow attacking a black bird nest down our driveway, all the black birds where dive bombing it and it didn’t care, it managed to pull a baby bird out of the nest, crow and baby fell onto driveway and crow was them divebombed by around 7 blackbirds 😱 it was throwing the baby around in the air, it was awful. I stopped watching but I’m assuming it got away with the baby. Now I feel guilty - I could have gone out and stopped it but I didn’t - it’s nature isn’t it 😞 would you have intervened?

Corvids and song birds have coexisted for millenia. Its human impacts, particularly in forestry and agriculture, that have decimated songbirds.

Bloody hell- I had to google crow grudges 😱😱😱

You can hardly avoid human impacts without removing people from the planet - our entire countryside is a managed landscape - and has been since humans existed - if you take predator control out of the equation you remove the balance. You can of course leave everything to to return to the "wild" but such a thing doesn't really exist anymore and its the managed landscape has far greater biodiversity than any rewilding

You should’ve stepped in.

Maybe it's more a small rural area of Scotland issue ... We're not going to be worried about thieves or sinkholes!
