The “blackbird” misnomer likely arose from the male shrike’s dark, mask-like eye-stripe and grey-black wings. At dusk, from a distance, a shrike perched on a fence post with a dead thing dangling can indeed resemble a blackbird with something strange in its beak. In British and Appalachian folk belief, the Butcher Blackbird is an omen. Not of death outright, but of unwelcome truth .

That is the Butcher Blackbird. The beautiful, terrible knot where food and music become the same thing.

To yoke them together is to suggest that beauty and brutality share a rib cage. There is no single species called the Butcher Blackbird. But the name points to a real bird: the Great Grey Shrike ( Lanius excubitor ). Across rural Europe and North America, it is known colloquially as the “butcher bird.”

Why? Because the shrike hunts like a small, feathered raptor. It impales its prey—mice, small birds, large insects—on thorns, barbed wire, or sharp branches. These larders are grotesque pantries. A blackthorn hedge might hold a dozen corpses: a goldfinch here, a vole there, all spiked and drying in the wind.

The shrike cannot help its nature. Nor can the blackbird help its song. The name simply acknowledges that the same creature can be a minstrel at dawn and a butcher by noon. Picture a fence line in November. A shrike—grey, masked, unhurried—drops from a walnut branch onto a field mouse. It carries the body to a hawthorn. With surgical precision, it works the mouse onto a two-inch thorn.

Then it steps back. Wipes its beak. And sings.

Am I at risk for novel coronavirus from a package or products shipping from China?

In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures. Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread most often by respiratory droplets. Currently there is no evidence to support transmission of 2019-nCoV associated with imported goods and there have not been any cases of 2019-nCoV in the United States associated with imported goods.

How to open dispute and claim refund for fake tracking number and non received parcel?

Package has been returned to shipper, but seller does not confess that he/she have received the return and refuse to refund me money, how can I get my money back? Parcel was returned to shipper, or even shows “Failed delivery”. How can I get refund from China Post? The tracking status has not changed over 40 days,I still do not get the item, can I contact seller or China Post for refund?

China Post does not deal with recipient directly. China Post only accept query or claim from shipper who has original shipping receipt.

So, for recipient, the best solution is to contact your payment authority(ebay, aliexpress, paypal or credit card company) and file a non-receipt dispute ASAP.

Once you have filed the dispute, then it becomes seller’s duty to prove that the parcel has been successfully delivered to buyer. If he/she can not give such proof in specific time period, the money will be automatically refunded to buyer.

How to file such non-receipt dispute?

In eBay, PayPal or AliExpress, there is a link or web page called “Resolution Center” or “Dispute Center”. You can file non-receipt there.

Is there any deadline to file non-receipt dispute?

YES. For eBay, PayPal, you need to file the dispute within 45 days of your payment. For AliExpress, it is 60 days.

What if I passed the dispute deadline and still want to get refund?

If you have passed deadline to file dispute, then the only way is to contact seller. Normally big sellers who have high positive feedback rate will give you good solution in exchange of good feedback from you. This will help their shop to get better selling performance.

What if I buy from some website which does not have “dispute center” and I did not make payment by paypal or alipay?

Unfortunately, this makes it very difficult to get your money back. So we suggest buyer to buy from China sellers in big marketplace such as ebay,aliexpress, amazon etc which have good customer protection system. If you buy from independent shopping website, then please select paypal as payment method. NEVER use wire transfer or money order or western union,or bit-coin to make payment especially from unfamiliar sellers.
