M R hey it’s easy to misinterpret, or maybe you’re spot on. But... what if ehh? 👽 what if bacteria and viruses were a form of poplulation control for humans? Especially since people with unhealthy habits and or weaker immune systems are more prone to disease. Everyone thinks we have to have a predator bigger than prey. Just a fun thought. Also , bacteria from natural births have shown lower rates of many diseases/afflictions. Now more women are having c-sections, it’s showing in our overall quality of health. Many studies have determined gut bacteria actually dictate a persons overall health, even mentally! Not to mention that antibiotics are breeding “super bacteria” that nothing can fight. I just want to create a platform for debate, please don’t get me confused 🔬🦠maybe we should take it more literally to respect every living thing. 🌈 I don’t believe in god, but the most poignant part of the Bible was that he would drown humanity but save every living creature 💛

And to prevent other birds like woodpeckers from making the hole bigger a d take over box I learned to face the whole with a copper sheet square of metal. There should be instructions there to check the babies for blowflies and be careful of snake predators. Good luck.
