We all know how the Native Americans of North America were royally screwed by the White Man and His Manifest Destiny. According to a plaque in an exhibit outside of the Whitney Museum of American Art, no Native American is safe.

Here, the tragic story of the Purple Martin (Progne subis) –martyr and disenfranchised bird of color:

“We are native Americans. When European starlings arrive, they fill our nesting cavities with materials blocking our entrance, destroy our eggs, corner us in our homes and even peck us to death. Every fall we head for South America, but the starlings stick around, claiming our nesting cavities. We are now entirely dependent on human supplied housing east of the Rockies. We especially like the hollow white gourds you see below.”

Fucking Europeans! Even their birds are assholes.
