Bickering Birdies~

Love to argue.

Orioles and mockingbirds are definitely the culprits,

while scrubjays and woodpeckers,

just stand back stunned,

and watch the show!

Cheers to you from The Holler’s bickering birdies~

          1. It must be terribly hard for those little guys! And explaining why they need to must just lead to more tears. You’ve got to remember to tell them the story when they get older. What a fabulous memory of their childhood…I’m sure they’ll get a big laugh out of it.
            When my kiddos were little, I had to get double of everything or else there would be meltdowns.

  18. Beautiful captures of the bickering birdies Cindy. Such gorgeous colors. This again shows us how intelligent birds are and how like humans they can be, which much of the recent research and neurological studies ate revealing.

  28. There’s your particular magic again, birds allowing you to be like kin. A story told by birds, transposed by you. Round here it’s mostly big black crows. Gulls and sparse eagles keep their distance.

    Thing about birds, much as they interest, amuse – for certain wouldn’t want to be one of them. Every one who finds a nice scrap of food is soon dogged by the rest waiting for the first to accidentally drop, else just outright steal the morsel away for themselves, who become next in line. Someone said, true, survival itself ain’t pretty. (makes me re-wonder – what about us?) Thanks Cindy for the front-row view.

    1. This reminds me of the melee for scarce taxis at the airport in Buenos Aires! Smiling people turned into vicious competitors in no time flat. Disconcerting დ

  37. Gorgeous photos, Cindy! The birdies that visit our balcony squabble and fight over the food we give them. Very entertaining to watch! 💖

  38. Cindy, last week I saw a redheaded woodpecker in our big oak tree in the back yard.
    Such a long time since I’d seen one – he was tap, tap, tapping away while I took a break on our screened porch! I thought of you immediately and think I enjoyed the time with him with you, too.
    Thank you for all your birdies!

    1. So happy you spent time with the woodpecker. Birds are excellent judges of character. They only pick trust worthy people to hang out with. So consider yourself trusted! დ

  40. It is lovely to hear the bird song even if they are bickering Cindy. I do think they talk to each other. I often try to whistle back to them. My younger son would call to the Turtledoves and they would fly to him.

    1. Aww…. So sweet about your son. I do the same thing. I always call back to birds. The great horned owls usually engage in long converstations with me. They are chatty! დ
