    Never said birds were. But I wouldn’t argue it based on what happens in cities… That would be like arguing tetras are apex predators because they’re the only thing in the fish tank.

      To think otherwise is ridiculous.

      If you don’t take local environment into account, than you’re comparing a planets worth of species in which case an Orca could kill any other species and the only thing that hunts them is us, so they’re not even an apex themselves.

      You might as well argue there is not one apex predator on the planet.
