Nope!. Nature has a way of balancing itself out!. When humans interfere it messes up the natural order of life!. Would you jump in front of a lion trying to kill a zebra!? I didn't think so!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

At this Philosophy Page, being a Great Philosopher I am supposed to overlook the said subject, since great Philosophers usually do not notice their surroundings with such little subjects; as a moderate philosopher I would start thinking the consequences(!); as a hypocrite philosopher I would start thinking, who needs whom---snake to bird or bird to snake!? As a schizophrenic philosopher I would start thinking, "would it be RIGHT to DISTURB both the species who're at their own mood!?"
But as a normal Yahoo! Answerer, I will make a loud sound, noise or shout to save the "innocent" little inattentive bird!. It's humans innate matter to love bird than snake, though funny to explain, since that snake did nothing to me & yet she/he were too inferior to me!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Who's to say what's right or wrong!. You could scare the bird away and then it could accidently fly into the turbine of a jet and the jet could crash and kill hundreds of people (not sure how feasible that is!.!.!.just an example)!. I would probably not interfere with that which does not involve me, although my reaction would also be relative to my relationship with the particular animal in question!. Isn't it all predetermined anyway!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was in (sort of) this situation just the other day!!
Except it was a frackin HAWK getting ready to swoop down from a branch on a little squirrel!.
I was like in shock that I would just be walking down the street and see that, so I didn't know if I should or not!. It swooped down and grabbed the squirrel and flew away with it before I could even react though!

I don't know what I would have done if given the chance to react!.

Hawks are pretty scary, but I am terrified of squirrels, so!.!.!.!.!. idk!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would definitely try to scare the bird away, to me its the right thing to do I could never just sit by and let an animal be hurt, I know thats how nature works but it doesnt mean I have to let it happen when I see it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i wouldn't scare either,i would leave them be,its nature,its ment to happen,if you u scared the snake,it could turn around and put 2 small holes into which wont be very coolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Depends if the bird is endangered or common!.!. if it was endangered Id scare it away!.!. same with the snake acually!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would leave it be, not because it's natural, but because I'd like to witness the violenceWww@QuestionHome@Com

I would get my camera, and get ready to post a picture at lolsnakes or somethingWww@QuestionHome@Com

ill let the snake eat the bird!.!.!.!.!.then eat the snake!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, snakes got to eat too, life sucks when you are a bird but that's the way it is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

good question!. I would like to think I would save the bird, but my interest to see 'what would happen next' would probably get the better me!.
