When I was little, I spent most of my time in a specific tree. There were about 20 pairs nesting every year in the same tree. They were accustomed to me. Another, but older, boy came to me telling he, his friends, his dad were going to kill the birds because the birds attacked them whether on foot, on bike, on motor, in closed vehicles. Afterward by watching the birds, I was able to learn who was trying to destroy their nests and kill them. Birds do remember. They defended against those whom had proven to be dangers. Over the years the birds were accepting of the same people.
