>>5095840We've had a ton of goldfinches, blue jays, chickadees, and a couple of hairy woodpeckers at our feeders during this snow. The jays and finches never seem to be there at the same time though, I'm guessing they don't get along.Then last night this guy showed up and hung out on our porch for an hour. I hope he sticks around, there's plenty of mice and squirrels on our farm for snacks.
>>5096453>owlI need a hawk or bird of prey to clear out some mourning doves. There's way too many of them.
I'm getting a lot of bird ads and I'm not complaining
Here's another one. quirky ads but I'm not buying anything.
Sometimes the wikipedia front page delivers little gems.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxaul_sparrow
Been reading a book about birds lately and it mentioned about how some European birds got introduced to the New World by settlers.Which made me wonder, if some migratory birds move to the south in the winter, that would still work in North America, because they would just cross the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Mediterranean and be probably fine.But are there examples of birds being introduced to habitats in the southern hemisphere? Were they able to adjust their migration behavior?Tried looking it up but wasn't really sure what to even google for so I hope some of you might have something smart to say.You're welcome for this atrocity of a map I found when looking for an image to post with this. I'm sorry.
>been feeding local crows peanuts in shells for a year>local store stops selling peanuts in shells because i'm the only one buying them>try some pumpkin seeds instead>crows can't see where i throw them in the snowwhat a mess
90% sure this is Hispaniolan woodpeckerVery bad at flying, almost flew into me and other people, probably tied to the fact it’s missing one eye and the other one is a cloudy grey.

>>5092197It's only early Feb, and already, in northern Illinois, I've heard and seen a few flocks of Canada geese going north. In my experience such indicators are solidly dependable, nothing like the silliness of groundhog myths and such. .
>>5096453had a red tailed hawk once stay in my area. Whenever it was soaring in the sky, the little birds would become petrified in fear at the hopes of not becoming its next meal.

Wood pigeons and magpies are having turf war in my backyard, what should i do ?
>>5103907Pick a side. Leave them snacks. Harry the other side. Return to flock.
>setup shitty little dish on ground during summer>constant birds drinking from it>pickup standing stone one that looks nicer>not a single bird uses it even on hot daysnever should've put in effort.
>>5099454New Zealand had a ton of stupid stuff introduced but dont think any of them are migratory. Also Barn Swallows have started vreeding in South America and possibly South Africa.In Britain, the Egyptian Geese are kind of adapting to local season but most will still breed way to early in spring due to their southern hemisphere origin.
luv me some columbidae

>>5092197Why are birds so fucking cool?
How do I befriend crow[s]? There's some that hang around my apartment and I want to become a crow friend
This bird and his friend were weird. Both had fluffed up feathers. He kept sitting around the dumpster and wouldn't immediately run away. I even got my hand a couple inches from him before he walked away. Then he napped under some garbage for a while and went away.>>5107781Try throwing individual seeds to bait them closer to you.
>>5107103>house sparrow>scrub jay>mockingbird>collared dove>dark eyed junco
Dumb bird, entered my house and could not get out, got under my bed.
Left him outside with some snacks and went to take a shower, when I went back he wasn't there any more, either an eagle ate him or he went away.
The Danish word for magpie is skade, which also means injury.So, here is an injury with an injury. Old pic; he healed nicely.
>>5108763Quick, check the bush!

>>5111579I remember the first time I heard magpies. Was dumped at my grandparents for the weekend because lol kids amirite. Woke up in the morning and asked what bird that was (5y/o) and my grandad just jumped up and started shouting THOSE CUNTING FUCK MAGPIES, grabbed his bird stick and ran out waving it around at them."Why does he do that?"'He was feeding a lone duckling and one swooped down to kill it'"Oh."And so we continued watching him wave his bird stick at the trees.Good times.https://youtu.be/1rWtGDT46_Y?si=Uo5O-LeyAuJf14C8

i just identified my first pokemon- i mean bird... by its sound, using that merlin app, it was a Carolina Wren unfortunately i didnt see it though>>5107103cardinalblue jayrobinmourning dovecarolina wren
There's a killdeer that keeps hanging out in my work parking lot. They go to flat areas to breed, so it runs around the parking lot flashing their tail at me lol.
The pair of collared doves that come to my balcony, I put seed out for them, there's also one on its own that spends more time here. The bloody wood pigeons realised I put food out a few months ago, and though I like them they eat the seed in no time so I chase them off. >put mixed seed out>lasts a week>put sunflower hearts out>they're gone in two daysDoves and pigeons seem to love sunflower hearts.
>>5116221I have a pair of Mourning Doves regular visitors.Since you also have a pair of doves, odds are that they're like mine. Basically they claim that spot as theirs and chase off any other doves. Kinda sucks since sometimes there's a small, juvenile dove that needs a bit of food but the pair scare it off.
Anyone here watching streams?ive been following this one for about 2-3 weeks now:>youtube.com/watch?v=QnhHoIXnS-YIts Peregrine Falcons who are nesting inside a churchtower in Austria.First egg hatched a few hours ago, since then 2 more hatched, still one to go, might happen soon.
>>5116304Interestingly they come and go, the lone dove in pic related on my bedroom windowsill, is here more than they are, and they will chase him/her off, but they won't chase the wood pigeons off, presumably because they're a lot bigger.
>>5116340naw... that dad bird just came home with another small dead bird for his wife to feed his baby birds withwtf is this world comin to
there are many seagulls that keep the statue of liberty company, apparently.
makes me want to listen to some Bohren & der Club of Gore

Can anyone identify this bird for me? I thought it was a common seagull, but now I'm not sure. It hangs out by the river and routinely bullies all of the ducks. It's the only one of it's type there... the rest are all ducks and geese. He's larger than the ducks, but smaller than the geese.
>>5116391It's like Grape-kun, but giantess.
>>5117313Location?
>>5117330PNW, east of Seattle. About 11 miles from the Puget Sound. There's also Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish nearby too.
Also, here is one of the ducks that >>5117313 was bullying
>>5117313ring-billed gull, maybe? a lot of gulls look very similar
>>5117458So it is just a big seagull I guess. I didn't really see it fly, but I was wondering if might be some kind of albatross. Thanks.
>>5116340>>5116389they all hatched now, RIGHT NOW they are being fed.its great. i love them so much.
>>5117313
Are you team hooded or team carrion?Hooded crows just look way better.
>>5117341Mr Mallard looking gorgeous as always
>>5117643carrion crow only because they look similar to my handsome chihuahuan ravens
