Comment on Is it mean to use a bird identification app to call birds in closer?

It’s generally frowned upon. Birds spend their lives collecting enough energy (food, water) to survive (find more food, defend territory, mate, etc). If a bird reacts to a fake call, it’s wasting energy that could’ve been used for something actually useful, which lowers the bird’s chance of survival.
