Post birds and your thoughts on birds. Anything goes. I have a garden where I leave foodstuffs for wild birds every day, and I get a lot of visitors this time of year like all sorts of tits, blackbirds and other corvuses, wood pigeons, collared doves, chaffinches, woodpeckers and lotsa others, including some rare ones like hawfinch or hoopoe. But the humble Yuro Robin is most appreciated of them all. It's so beautiful and regal, yet so modest and cheerful, its song really stands out. Even when feeding he doesn't hastily gorge the way tits do (little pigs they are!) nor is he very picky eater either. Just a model bird to me all around far as I'm concerned.
A little over a year ago I haphazardly built a DIY hummingbird feeder on my apartment balcony. Although they would often gather around the trees across my building, it took about three days for them to start showing up.
Since then they've cemented themselves in my mind as one of my favorite birds. I don't think I've ever had been as fascinated when observing an animal in its element. Picrel is an image I found that most closely resembles the little guy I saw.
TLDR: hummingbirds rock
>But the humble Yuro Robin is most appreciated of them all.
It's always interesting how each species (and even each individual within a species) has their own seemingly distinct personality. It's pretty common to hear people talk about a single bird or a group of birds that will constantly bully everyone else off the feeder.
>its song really stands out
I remembered at one point I set myself out to start learning all the different calls. Pretty soon I gave up when I realized (thru an app) that they were all Rufous colored sparrows chirping in slightly different tones lol.

What's the deal with birdwatchers? Seriously, you are in nature, in a practically mediative state - why are you so fucking abrasive?
Oh Lapwing, strand silt-walker
Oil-slick-backed stilt-walker
You resent the svelte Shearwater
But he doesn't have your tuft
there are some great birds on instagram reels I must admit. saw an incredible video of a guy catching peacocks with some kind of bola gun
I love watching the thrushes on my porch make their nests.
The stork couple has returned to my village this year. I am not sure if they are using their old nest or building a new one.
Went to a zoo a couple days back, got to see many wonderful birds among other things, but the real star of the show was nepalese monal of which I was completely unaware beforehand. I didn't get any good photos of my own, and I don't think any photo actually sells how beautiful it is. It's like it's made out of metal, the way it shimmers and changes color in the light, it's wonderful kaleidoscope of hues every tiny move it makes. Definitely highlight of the day.
