Post birds, appreciate birds
I'm trying to befriend some ravens by giving them water. I'm hesitant to leave out food due to rat problems, but regardless, I've been leaving out water for a few weeks now and have never seen them come drink it. I hear them cawing more around my house lately, and I try to let them know with a clear signal whenever I change their water. Am I on the right track here, or do I need to look into doing things differently?
How the fuck do i get rid of whatever this abomination of bird is. Its right next to my window and i need to genocide every single one of these things until its extinct. I love when birds have beautiful calls and songs, but this is like the young thug mumble rap "song" of birds. Absolutely obnoxious and enraginghttps://files.catbox.moe/rqdxf3.m4a
>>5138274According to a birdcall analyser is a gray catbird.I guess it's around breeding, so small birds like that are always going to be noisy wherever they decide to set up camp.
Indigo Bunting
Prairie Warbler
>>5138274It's a Gray Catbird. Leave it alone and stop being a dick. They are beautiful birds
This might be a weird question, but does anyone have experience with flying drones over ducks? We have a local lake here with a shit ton of ducks, I wanted to take some videos of it, but I don't know how far above them I should fly. They seem pretty undisturbed by humans since they let you walk right up to them and I heard the local authorities use drones for something in the area.
>>5138274Get a plastic/ceramic owl statue from a garden center and set it out. Sometimes even just a picture will do. At my last job I had a live oak over my window, and a family of cardinals roosted there every year, and I'd get to enjoy several months of the male cardinal going ape shit and knocking himself unconscious attacking the reflection in the glass. Eventually I printed out a picture of an owl, and taped it to the glass outside, and he would give up for a while. You need to move it around every couple of days so they don't get used to it as a static object but most animals will see the shape of an owl and decide to go somewhere else.

My cat brought me 2 black redstart nestlings back to back, completely unharmedNow I have two redstartsThey're really cool and friendlyI know I'll soon have to free them as they're getting quite good at flying, but I'm sad
>>5138826Make sure to keep your cat away from the cage. The stress of a predator nearby can kill captive wildlife.
The Australian brushturkey makes massive mounds, like a baseball mound.>The male Australian bush turkey builds a large mound of leaves, twigs, and earth, up to 1.5 metres high and 4 metres across, to incubate eggs laid by visiting females.
>>5139841Absolute weapon of a bird. Interesting that the Cape York subspecies has a purple wattle
Don't talk to me or my son ever again.
>>5139878thumbnail makes it look like a smug Skeksis. >HmmMmmM...
ducklings in the office
>>5137869Is this guy gunna make it? I was just out canoeing and I saw him flapping around in the water, plucked him out, seems like he's missing quite a bit of feathers neck side of his body. He was too tired to do anything but shake and shiver. I left him out on the lawn with the geese but I assume he's sick or old or something. Saved some drowning retard seagull last week he had this leg stuck in those wire cages around rocks.
>>5142571I geuss u guys have no idea without any more information really, ill go take a rip tomorrow evening and see if he's still kicking. If he makes it maybe he'll bring me like money and uranium
>>5142572Actually I cut up some plum for him and went to give it and he was up on his feet and jumped into a bush so I geuss he's ok
Forgive this shit photo, just spotted it while eating.
I saw a nest of baby robins three days ago.
Yesterday, I saw mama watching them.
Today, their nest is destroyed. I miss my little hatchlings.
Camera in my phone doesn't work anymore, so I can't provide a picture, but I'm requesting assistance: for past couple days new birds have been showing up at my place: look like a tits, with snow white underbelly, and light brown upperparts. flock has like 3 members, theya re roughly tit-sized (slightly bigger maybe) and seem to be hanging out around tits just fine, but it doesn't resemble any specie I know of: no black cap so it can't be marsh tit or coal tit or willow tit. No crest either. Could be long tailed, but I'm pretty good at spotting them out from mile away and they don't look much like them at all. Could be azure tits, but they aren't really azure at all and I couldn't spot any much darker streaks on the wings. Not a penduline tit either. The closest lookalike is maybe great grey shrike, but these are way bigger than common tits from what I understand and they are still not a close match colour wise. I've been racking my brains about that for a while now.Location is southern Poland, near mountainside forests. WIll try to borrow camera to try and get some pictures.
>>5141311They have a lot of fans.
>>5145329the fan mother had fanlings too
anyone have good raven pics?
i love you java sparrow
this bird evolved to roller skate
>>5147929blurry sparrow
>>5142571Always take them to the vet if they are in this condition
>>5149413piece of shit
I have questions about ducks and no one to answer them. Where are the duck lovers?
>>5149460I am more of a grebe and loon enjoyer to be honest
>>5149460i'm currently learning my birds and I find that there are too many duckslike wtf is a Oxyura
Owls look like tiny armless people when you think about it
Safflower seed successfully deterred the house sparrow horde but one older girl actually has the patience to crack them and the aggression to scare off female cardinals, though the males sends her packingIs shooting her with a pellet gun a viable tactic?
Is it normal for these birds to just run away? And I mean running, not flying off. Saw this guy digging through poop this morning and he just booked it when I got close.
I miss the old /corvid/ threads. I recently got a second one. This one is also really interested in ThinkPads. The red dot on the keyboard is irresistible.
i got 4 button quails, this my boy kev

This bird has eyelashes, which is pretty unique.
>>5149501Great crested grebes are my favorite birds
Anyone know what kind of pigeon this is? They had a bunch of them at the zoo. It looks like fucking foreskin around his head
Interesting
>>5137868If one had to say, what birds would be considered evil?
>>5159437all of them
>>5159144a white pigeon
It's amazing how beautiful vultures look when they have head feathers.
Thank god these magnificent birds aren't extinct.
>>5160995>0:13 - Finally I can stretch my wings-OH JESUS you guys are still here
>>5160993This is mostly an old vs new world thing I think. Old world vultures are more related to other birds of prey like eagles and distinctly look closer.
Have you guys heard of the takahe? A flightless bird from New Zealand that wa thought to be extinct for decades until they found it was alive in some forest there?
feeding hooded crows in the local parkoats>they look at me in disgust>hmph, guess we'll eat it if you have nothing betterpeanuts>DAAAMN RIGHT NIGGA>they follow me like bodyguards, demanding more

>>5162107Look at Ophelia. Lights are on, ain't no fucker home.
I rescued a racing pigeon. It got lost and was on my work property. It didnt fly when I got close, then I saw the band. Held it for a few days in a box (air holes, water, food) and it did fine before the owner picked it up.Interesting interacting with a truly domesticated pigeon. They definitely do not have the personality of dogs.

are you a femur?
>>5138826keep your cat indoors, cretin
>>5139305I was surprised you can kill birds with stress.
We've caught a weak parakeet and it looks so anxious and meek. How do I properly care a parakeet? What food do they eat?
>>5168569no but i got two
>>5168808Millet. And water.
>>5168814Are millets all they eat? Any good alternative?
>>5168822Also, is it okay for them to live in a noisier environment? Are small cages okay for them to live in?
>>5168823Pellets (thats made for budgies), veggies, sometimes fruit and seeds. might need to be chopped down. Preferably quiet environment. 18″×18″×24″ is minimum size for cage.
>>5168814>>5168826You're a lifesaver anon, I can't thank you enough! the bird finally starts eating and it's starting to flap its wings. I try to stay away as much as possible since it's still scared of me and I assume these type of parakeets hate human contact, but I don't know if it's a good idea to release it in the wild soon.
Anyone knows what this is? Saw that thing today in germanistan, chatGPT is giving me like 5 different birds.
>>5162007one month later and i've now tried walnuts with shellcrows act like crack fiends with those things
>>5169957Common buzzard (Buteo buteo)
>>5170015Thank you, anon.
Went to a local lake today, lots of ducks and swans there, also one of those.
