US-East feederboard 2021: MVP: Northern Cardinal Dumbest: Mourning Dove Cutest: Tufted Titmouse Class clown: White-breasted Nuthatch Best Defense: Northern Mockingbird (would harass and bother multiple neighborhood cats) Best Offense: Blue Jay (once got a posse to scream at a Red-Tailed Hawk until it left) Least Believable: Northern Flicker (oh you're a woodpecker that looks like a yassified dove and eats like a Robin? PICK A LANE!)

Helith posted:The Cockies that have learned how to open the secured bins then teach other Cockies how to do it. Birds in 44 Sydney suburbs now know how to pry open bins and birds in different suburbs have different techniques. When I visited Sydney a gang of cockies tried to mug me and steal my watch. One of his mates kept licking my hair to try and distract me.

Regarde Aduck posted:I do wonder what most goons do that gets them into so much trouble with geese They are pretty large birds that get notoriously territorial and bitey when nesting, and will often pick nesting territory that overlaps with human outdoor spaces. This results in them getting a reputation of "loud, mean assholes who poo poo everywhere". Also, like Al Queda, they once crashed a plane in NYC.

https://twitter.com/KaylaAncrum/status/1537167296866680834 Uh, yeah, uh... ancient cultures built those because having a big pigeon roost was a low effort and reliable source of protein. The feed themselves, they stay put, they make more of themselves. She's right in that almost all urban pigeons are basically feral descendants of domesticated pigeons. You can't just, like, capture a wild pigeon off the street and have it cuddle with you. There's lots of pet pigeon content on YouTube if you're interested, but those are breeds raised specifically to be pets and acclimated to living with people. Maybe you could rob a pigeon nest and like, hatch and raise it and it would be ok. There's people who have done this with house sparrows-- chicks rescued after they fell out a nest or whatever-- and many of them have adorable social media accounts. They will still poo poo everywhere in your house though. What I'm saying is go search your local highway overpasses and report back.

Cythereal posted:https://twitter.com/inspiredlawyer/status/1539240325843193860?s=21&t=RqLxwiHEsqE9fSYT5bLGYg A couple summers ago, we had a couple mockingbirds that nested near our backyard. It became very obvious whenever the neighbors let their cat out, because they would start loudly making a particular alerting call while following the cat around, harassing and attacking it. I once witnessed them sitting on the railing of the neighbor's deck screaming at the cat sitting inside her own house just because they saw her through the sliding glass door. We joked that we had a cat detector, because they made such a loud and distinctive sound you immediately knew when a cat was around. Sometimes you could even hear it with the windows closed and the AC on.

TIL that the staff of the National Audubon Society have a union, but changed their name recently (because Audubon was super super racist and loved slavery and wrote a lot about how great slavery was) and now they are just called "Bird Union". And their website has this gif on it:

Mockingbirds are the best. A couple of years ago there was a pair on my block who would harass my neighbors cat, to the point where I actually saw them sitting on the neighbors deck yelling and screaming at the cat, while the cat was inside his own house. It got to the point where we could tell whenever the cat was around because we could hear the mockingbirds losing their poo poo outside even with the windows closed.

We've had a ton of fledgling house sparrows around the feeder and yard the last few weeks too. They're really adorable and awkward.

Speaking of pigeons, the mysterious ghost pigeon (aka almost entirely leucistic) has decided to join the local pigeon gang gorging themselves on my bird feeder. (Bonus pic of a mourning derp looking perpetually confused)

Enfys posted:It's not just grackles. I've watched fledgling sparrows sitting on the bird feeder, surrounded by sunflower seeds, loudly demanding their parents get other sunflower seeds and stuff them into their mouths. I've also seen this at my feeder with house finches and cardinals. I even once saw a slightly older fledgling cardinal help feed their slightly younger sibling who was insisting their mouth doesn't work and why won't someone feed me?! Fledgling season is the best part of summer because they are all hilarious awkward weirdos.

Regarde Aduck posted:not seeing the downside tbh I made this mistake while visiting Syndey. I didn't even have food, just pretended like I did to lure them over for a closer look. Five minutes later I'm being mobbed, one is digging through my hair looking for any dropped seeds while another one tried to steal my watch.
