That's because you don't see the hawks waiting for one of them to leave the protection of the pole.

Reminds me of a story:

Once upon a time a little sparrow waited too long to fly south for the winter. When he did finally begin his journey it wasn't long before he ran into an enormous snowstorm that blinded him and iced up his wings. Eventually they became too heavy for him to remain aloft and the little sparrow plummeted to earth landing in the middle of a barn yard.

Half frozen and snow blind he was unable to move as a cow walked by and took an enormous dump right on top of the little sparrow.

"Surely this is the end" he thought but a strange thing happened. The steaming pile of cow dung melted the ice off the little sparrow and warmed him up, saving his life.

Happy and filled with new hope the little sparrow did what all little birds do when they're happy and he began to sing, a beautiful and thrilling melody that rang through the snowy barn yard.

All the farm animals heard it, including the barn cat who went over to the cow patty, dug out the little sparrow and promptly ate him feathers and all.

There are three morals to this story:

First, someone who craps on you is not necessarily your enemy.

Second, someone who gets you out of some crap is not necessarily your friend.

And third, if you find yourself warm and happy in a pile of crap, keep your beak shut!
