great pictures everyone
pandora, your bird with your dogs is awesome
do the dogs mind him/her?
Thanks Chad
My grand doggies, Faith and Dottie are good with Pumpkin. He has free reign in Savannah's house
but usually just hangs out on his cage...out of reach.
He's there with the dogs like that cause Sava is with them.
Otherwise Faith would probably chase him around!
She grew up with him so its a game to her but Pumpkin takes it seriously!

Near where my boy lives is a small pond that attracts the migrating birds. The other day there were hundreds of Black Vultures laying over. Filling the dying trees like this picture. A foreboding ominous site.
Not attractive birds until they take flight and soar and circle in the sky. Many sharing the same space with their beautiful two toned wing span. Their grace in flight captivating and delightful.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
oh that made me cry... what a sweet gentle young man to care for that little dickens.
Thanks for posting... that was beautiful
I wonder if the little guy will want to stay with him always
yeah, I'm glad that he was able to hand feed him. I tried with a budgie from the clinic....and, well...uhhh....birds are NOT easy to hand feed. Though I think a hummingbird would be a different story.
Pandi, I do think the little guy will stay with that young man...little bird has probably imprinted on him. My cat that I hand fed is basically my little shadow, freaks out if I go to the bathroom and close the door

The male American Goldfinch is putting on his best colors to please his lady,
bright beautiful yellow, the Nyjer seed sock covered with them, as it spins.
The Red Wing Blackbird is no longer doing their throaty cluck and have filled the air with their beautiful 2 tone trill marking the beginning of mating season and travel home.
The Cardinals also... the males singing sweetly their long fancy whistle dressed in bright red to impress.
And the Robins are filling the front yards as they flock together, ready for flight, the journey north.
I have all my life but most especially now found great comfort in the constant of natures clock
Thanks a lot Pandora for posting those amazing birds pics; nature around your area must be wondrous as birds only choose healthy and peaceful environments :thumbup:
Just yesterday I visited a protected area where birds from North Europe stop during their migration towards warmer places in the South. I managed to spot herons, cormorants and different kinds of ducks. Shame my cam was quite useless compared to the distance between us, but it's always amazing to watch them pass by!

I'll be checking my natural nest more often

Oh I love your avatar Owl!... I have many owl photographs in my house,
its hard to pick a favorite bird for me but they are in the running!
One came and visited this past Christmas night in a light snowfall...2 gifts from God.
Snow on Christmas is extremely rare.
My birds in my yard bring me great peace so it is a two way thing I guess.
I love to have the yard empty quiet cause the feeders are empty and go out with my buckets to fill them.
The racket begins with a few little calls...like they are saying..'there she is!'
and the trees fill up all around me with many different types of birds.
All living together in harmony. It is my connection to nature.
I am seeing many migrating birds too as of late. We have many herons on our lake.
Beautiful birds and in flight so unusual and graceful
Glad you enjoy the birds too and please yes come by and share

I've had different ones, the PJ Owl from the Toronto's poster included, but that suits me the most
And it comes directly from a t-shirt I was given by a friend
Owls are definitely my favourites among birds, they carry a certain wisdom aura with them and they're brilliant hunters. Besides their being nocturnal animals make them so fashinating. I'll never stop to be curious about them!
Unfortunately it's not that easy to spot them, being surrounded by concrete in the small town where I live
Enjoy the nature around you and make the most out of birds company whenever you can, they're faithful companions
Here's an example of the grey heron I spotted yesterday:

magnificent! ...much larger than ours at our lake. He must be amazing in flight with the legs outstretched and the large graceful wing motion characteristic of the large birds.
My daughter has Pumpkin...he is our cockatiel and he is 20 this year! Pumpkin is loyal and funloving and enjoys his cheerios I recently bought him, a favorite treat from his youth

Wow! That's an impressive age: congratulations!
And what a gnummy treat that is! I bet he enjoys that
I saw one of these watching me mow the lawn on Saturday and it wouldn't move. It was awesome to see in flight. Once I saw one scoop up a squirrell and took it to it's den.
Peace

My daughter has allowed Pumpkin free flight. His cage is always open.
This we think has lead to a long life for him without any of the problems associated with confinement.
He can sing winnie the pooh song and do many phrases along with doing the beeping of the microwave.

Amazing!
I'm sure he's such good fun to look at and listen to!
Yesterday we noticed a Robin nesting in the pine tree right outside our living room window. The nest is fairly low down and you can look right into it from the window. We saw mama sitting in it, and later, when she flew off to feed, we spied an egg. Today, there were 2 eggs. The kids are super excited! We gave them a huge lecture about staying away from it. We do not want the birds to abandon the nest and leave the eggs...will robins do that? I hope to get a photo tomorrow.
birds come just below dogs in my list of "pointless over-rated animals"
what use is a fucking pigeon?
You never heard of Cher Ami? Flew 25 miles in only 25 minutes thru a barrage of German bullets to save 200 men..By the end of flight he had been blinded in one eye, and a bullet had hit his breastbone, making a hole the size of a quarter, and his leg (the one with the messege attached to it, no less) was hanging on by only a couple tendons..
I got a real backwards bird out front now..stays quiet all day, chirps all night..It's driving me nuts!

It would be great to have a shot of the little ones as soon as they come to life!

Today we saw 3 eggs. We did a little research and found out that it will be about 2 weeks before they hatch. Guess there won't be that much birdie news until then...

My latest nighttime obsession....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHSpQAFVI_k
They come every night and eat the fig tree next door.
I would love to watch those next door....entertaining..we have flying squirrels we watch
in the evenings
I like the flying fox's wings ,they can block out the sun with them for a daytime bedtime.
Cute little faces...nature is amazing!
