Our feathered friends, birdbrains, and wingnuts

I can't have pets at my apartment but all of your birds give me life. Bless them. They're so cute.

@bellbird Actually, nope! She tends to get it everywhere and I have to throw out bowls sometimes. But usually she’ll eat everything that’s still in her bowl (unless she deems it stale)

Soon it will be time for my neighbors and I to start feeding our wild birds. It has been an exceptionally warm years, so we have not done so yet. One thing that did happen that was really cool was that a blue jay landed on the sidewalks about 6 feet away from me! I turned my head to see what made a noise and scared him away though.

Blue jays love cat food, by the way! They’re a bit aggressive and one has chased my cat away from his bowl. Silly bird

 

[Changing4Best]

Oh yes, they can be very aggressive! Agreed. I knew of one that came swooping down upon some people that got too close to their nest. It was during the time they were nesting and it was quite awesome and disconcerting!!!

@RuffledFeathers Thought you might appreciate this!

I put a fan out and my bird LOVED it. She went up close to it and let the air go under her armpits and shook her tail feathers — almost like she was trying to bathe in the breeze!

Such a little cutie, lol. I wouldn’t have thought wind could be a toy/game!

 

[somerandomguy]

Blue jays will eat anything though. The ones that we get passing through every spring and fall are seriously the size of chickens!

Lots of flocks of birds flying south for the winter, nice to see them all en mass. All kinds of birds. I love to listen to them, it is like an orchestra!

On Thanksgiving Day I was sitting in Dollar General's parking lot in someone's car when I saw a large bird flying (not soaring) way up high in the air. He or she was heading in a specific direction, flying right over my head. Since this bird was not the usual bird that I see soaring way up high in the sky, I looked more closely to see what kind of bird it was. I have really good eye sight. It was a BALD EAGLE! I feel really happy that probably a pair of these precious birds live somewhere out in our mountains here. WOW! I hope they nest come Spring.

My friend met a Cockatu today and his name is Larry. The bird calls her "MAMA." Every time she leaves the room, he calls out "MAMA!"

@bellbird My cockatiel has that same toy!!!!! She never figured it out lol

@Changing4Best Cute!!! I met some in a parking lot of all places. Lady walked into the store with her truck window wide open! On purpose! The male perched in the opening and yelled “MAMA” really cutely though. Haha.
