Do you have a favorite bird?

I have three. The Robin, the starling and the swallow.

      Hey, you don't have to resort to name-calling!  I keep telling you that it was an accident, I merely opened the wrong door!

  • I didn't realize there was such a big difference between the European and the American Robins. Interesting.

    I hate to laugh because I am a very proud American but that was funny.  We do tend to be more on the rolly-polly side.  However, the robins here seem to prove us both wrong.  Maybe the European Robin is fluffed up because it is colder and more dreary in weather when they are about?  At any rate, they are wonderful birds with a beautiful song no matter where they are singing :D

  • I couldn’t help myself, sorry. I dont have much self control when it comes to jokes. Once I’ve thought it it’s difficult not to write it. You might be right about fluffed up feathers, that makes sense .They are wonderful bird. I like them a lot

    That is very true!  Don says they follow him when I'm not looking to McDonalds and together they feast on fries and Big Macs ......  Ick!!! This post was edited by Merlin at December 29, 2017 6:27 AM MST

    Red-tailed Hawk. It likes to eat small birds:

  • I'm driving on a country road and I see one up ahead, sitting on a fence post just outside of the bar ditch.  He's looking, intently, at something across the road (prey, I figured) and as I got closer, he dove straight at it ... oblivious to the fact that a pickup was coming from the other direction.  He flew straight into the side of that pickup.  Concentration and dedication ... the bird survived.  :)

    We have one in our neighborhood. It keeps the rabbit and chipmunk populations in check.

  • Yes.  It always kinda saddens me when I hear of people "culling" predators.  There's a reason why they are there.

    We have to cull white-tailed deer in the city as there are no predators except cars.

    Hi Element~ I absolutely agree.  There is a pair of them that we see almost every day.  It's cool because we are up high and can see them soaring sometimes at our level.  Don named one Kitty and the other Hawk.  Big giggles!  They are Very, Very Cool!!
