Another day at the bird feeder

[jaF0]

I got lots of peckerheads around.

Downy WP I think. They're really skitterish and pick 1 sunflower seed at a time and fly off with it.

They spend quite a bit of time on my suet, and in the spring/ summer bring the young with them and show them the ropes.

Did you get the picture with a phone? Impressive.

If he keeps drilling on my cabin, his ass is gonna be shot.

All birds are edible.

I've got rock salt for the bastard.

Dry-brined.

It would take a lot of sparrows to make a meal.

In my part of the world, you can't be sure if that rapid sound is a peckerhead drilling for bugs or a peckerhead with a full auto.

 

[Saint_Ann]

I get that too. My neighbors drink tequila and howl at the moon.

Got at least one here, funny shit, will fly off far away then return.

Observation is the key to understanding.

Ever watch a peckerhead leave a tree?


They don't fly off. They drop and commence to flapping while falling.

Most of my knowledge of woodpeckers comes from Woody Woodpecker cartoons.

I once had the bad luck to have a pileated woodpecker take a shine
to one of the metal exhaust pipes on the roof. He set up there for a long
as half-an-hour at a time and there was no way to sleep though it and
it was a two-story home, so there was no way to scare it off.

Could be an example of why "bird brained" is considered a perjorative.

That and Kamikaze Cardinals.

Huh, huh, hi, huh, huh!

You'd think it would have taken him less than a day to figure out there were no bugs under the metal.

Now that our first, and probably last winter storm has hit,
the bird feeder is the most popular hangout in my part of the forest.

There must be at least eight pairs of cardinals alone.
I wonder if they lead prayers of thanks...

Tweety will sooner get credit than I will.
Stupid bird brains.
