Excerpt from The Natural Enemies of Birds
Darwin says, truly, that the struggle for existence is greatest between individuals or varieties of the same species. Natural enemies protect a species against itself by keeping its numbers low enough to prevent serious competition for food.'

Excerpt from The Natural Enemies of Birds
This bulletin has been written to exhibit the utility of native natural enemies of birds and to show the misfortunes that might follow their extermination, as well as to set forth the conditions under which they may need restraint, and to point out those species that are believed to be most destructive.
The present strong sentiment for bird protection, commendable as it is, has resulted in a war of extermination against the enemies of birds that may, in time, defeat its own ends. Bounties are paid on the heads of predatory creatures by individuals, towns, counties and States. Farmers, sportsmen, gunners,- game keepers, game commissioners and wardens join with bird protectionists in destroying indiscriminately all creatures that are believed to kill birds or destroy their eggs or young, and the high and increasing prices now paid for furs offer an incentive to the trapper to pursue the fur-bearing animals as never before. It is true that some of the more crafty birds and mammals, such as the fox, the Cooper's hawk and the crow, may become too numerous and too destructive to bird life under some conditions, and that certain natural enemies of birds introduced by man from foreign countries, such as the cat and the English sparrow, persecute birds excessively at times and in certain places, but the majority of the larger and more destructive native enemies of birds always are held in check by the gunner, the farmer and the trapper, through motives of self-interest, and with the constant increase in the numbers of game preserves and bird preserves there is danger that we shall overdo the destruction of so-called vermin and thereby bring about serious consequences.
