Wiggling is a very important part of the nesting process.

Nordick posted:I am 99.9% sure those are hooded crows. Yep, those are grey crows, which are a subspecies of carrion crows. I just looked into the geographical distribution of the different subspecies, and a weirdness happened with the last ice age when all-black carrion crows became the norm in Britain, but grey bodied carrion crows were established in middle and north Europe, north scotland, and also Ireland. It was like a pincer movement driven by the retreat of the glaciers.

^ Yeah, in Finland we simply just call them "varis", for "crow", because they're the only crow species we have, far as I know. I personally have never seen a full black crow in person, but hoodies are an everyday presence, together with rooks and jackdaws.

I personally have never seen a full black crow in person, but hoodies are an everyday presence, together with rooks and jackdaws. We in Ireland have a mix of the two - mostly grey crows with a very little mix of all-black carrion crows. Just recently I saw a mated pair of a grey crow and a black bodied carrion crow. I wouldn't even have noticed the two except that they were playing around together and I realized their beak/noses were all wrong for rooks or jackdaws. When they aren't grey bodied, they look like little ravens.

Nothing but the common American crow around here. I have made attempts to befriend them. Made special feeders for them. Done crow friendly stuff in yard. I instead made friends with the Blue Jays.

I'm at my parents' house & today a young blackbird accidentally flew through the sliding doors and was panicking against the window. Mom was like oh no idk what to do and I didn't either, but I tried to spread my arms out & make a wall so it only had the right way out (the doors). Didn't work, it kept trying the window so I slowly got closer and put my hand out as slowly as I could, all the while it was tweeting and yelling It was clearly getting tired and not feeling good about this situation, and I softly took hold of it, and it was probably dying in its little heart, so as quickly as I could I stepped over to the door and let it go. Flew like the wind and sat on a wall and looked at me for 15 minutes, probably catching its breath

Master Twig posted:Nothing but the common American crow around here. Do they come yell at you every morning to fill the feeders? The blue jays in Nashville, when I lived there, came to the windows in the sunroom to yell at me every morning to feed the feral cat family. Then they’d scream at any feral cats that showed up to eat until the cats felt uncomfortable enough to leave the food area. Like, one got a few inches away from Nell and just screamed into her ear while she was trying to eat breakfast. She skulked away from the bowl after giving the blue jay a double-take. Blue jay took a couple of hops and started eating the food.

I get it now" or maybe a friend like "psh this room ain't scary"

Bored posted:https://youtu.be/SuVjOqtcHxE This is a big flightless bird thing, for some reason. Emus and rheas are the same way, with emu moms prone to laying eggs (which may not all belong to the guy raising them) and then loving off to repeat the process with another guy, and rhea dads trying to convince as many ladies as possible to lay in his nest. Ostriches like big communal nests, with dominant females leading the group and shoving out eggs that aren't theirs when no one is looking, and while both males and females will incubate and raise them, males kinda take the lead once they're hatched. Kiwis are extremely monogamous, but kiwis are about as close to a mammal as a bird can get so everything they ever do is weird as hell. Even so, it's usually dad incubating their giant egg. Not sure why. It may just be ancestral to the group.
