THE BIRD THREAD - Post birds, discuss birds or even sniff birds.

Best picture I could take of this little Carolina Wren hogging the feeder in my back yard after chasing off a bluebird and a cardinal I was trying to get pictures of. Asshole.

Smartphones, screened porches and asshat wrens don’t make for great pictures.

What happened to him?

Stressed out bird plucked out its own feathers. Such a pity. Can't say what the circumstances are that lead to this particular bird self-mutilating, but typically where I've seen it happen is with birds that are left alone in their cages in high noise/high stress environments and are not engaged with by their owners and have insufficient stress relievers provided to them. So solitary, abandoned birdies that only see people when they come by to dump food and water in their bowls and don't have enough toys.

On a more cheery note, here's a video I found this morning.

We would get hummingbirds around back when my Mom had a feeder for them. Always thought they were cool, might get a feeder for them this summer.

The park near the new place I'm staying at has water.

Which of course means I get to see ducks.

Just remember with hummingbird feeder’s to change the water out really regularly. It ferments quickly in hot temperatures. Then the birds will avoid it, and all you will attract is wasps and ants.

I know this image has nothing but positive reactions, but this is actually really fucking gross and not cute at all. This is like horrific DeviantArt fetish-tier stuff.
