I actually hate birds a lot. I'm sorry. It's a phobia thing.

Watching my bird feeder is basically like watching bird-Maury every day. Sure, it's probably garbage, but it's BIRD garbage and that's what matters.

Ducks are the one exception. But they are also tasty so this probably makes me a bad man.

Based on googling this and my understanding that it means basically cats: yes

There’s a problem with this, you must produce a picture of a moggie if you claim to love one.

hello, good morning everyone, i woke up early today and i feel like i have all the time in the world (i do not)

it's supposed to snow for several days and finally act like winter here. i should get some more birdseed so the squirrels can steal it since they finally learned how to defeat my squirrel proof feeder


thank you PSP for the beautiful spring sig

Professor of Cats

Morning! I also need to fill up my bird feeder. We get all kinds of finches and sparrows, flickers, wood peckers, doves ( both morning and black collared) and scrub jays!

The Robin's are only interested in the bird bath though.

If you ever wondered to make your mango go smooth and easily enjoyable, here it is


City of Glompton

oh man i love scrub jays. they are so rowdy.

we have a few robins (sometimes i put berries out for them in the winter) but mostly sparrows and juncos. i did see a lazuli bunting a couple times this summer, and some adorable red-breasted nuthatches this fall. every now and then the neighborhood quail come by but it's rare.

i really like birds and was going to make a *very* similar post to this one but less chill about those dang squirrels. there's plenty of food for everyone but they're jerks to the birds and i do NOT appreciate it. we greased the pole (heh) and now they have switched to aerial insertion where one will jump onto the feeder from above and hang on for dear life, if he can hold on long enough for it to stop swinging he will then empty the feeder onto the ground below where his fat friends are waiting, some of who take point and make sure no birds can get anywhere near the Seed Zone

have you tried them dried? i really like them dried, they're like candy but you can pretend they're good for you. maybe they are

the mango cup trick is rad though, i wonder how hard it is to actually do

I love mangos but they actually smell really strongly of unpleasant BO to me, for some reason, so it's always this game of eating them without smelling them, or more often, having them in something (like a smoothie) where the smell is muscled out by something more fragrant


thank you luvcow for the sig

Mummy Napkin
Mangos are one of the few fruits where the artificial flavoring they put in stuff actually tastes better than the fruit itself

re: birdchat, I'm not very good at visually distinguishing ravens vs crows (since around here they're both entirely black) but whatever variety of spookybirds we have around here, they're staggeringly huge, like bigger than my cat, I'm both impressed and intimidated by them

also, q for the more bird-knowledgeable among us, is it true there's some species of bird that's basically evolved to live off of garbage because their habitats got replaced by urban areas? Not thinking of pigeons/seagulls or other trashbirds, but one that like literally only eats trash. It's possible I dreamt this.

if they're that big then they're probably ravens. or maybe you have small cats?
