As Valentine's Day gets closer, we thought it would be fun to take a look at the bird couples that we see in our backyard. They visit both the birdy theater and smart feeder together. Most of the birdy couples stay together for the mating season, with the exception of the red winged blackbird. Seems like he likes to play the field and will take a few mates throughout the season....
I guess that explains why there are SO MANY of them.
The house finches that visit SF are Mama's fave because it always seems the male watches over the female while she is eating!
I guess birdies can be interesting sometimes
(but they are mostly silly)!
Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop this week!
Gorgeous (both you and the bird couples) We are at the time of year the birds are teaching their offspring where to find food and what to eat. Male green finches kind of guard their families like that too.

ReplyDeleteSunny, that was a super glimpse of all those courting couples! You are looking pawtikularly spiffy today, too! Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
You look so pretty dressed for Valentine's Day, Sunny! Love the headdress on the quail!
ReplyDeleteThe big question is, do bird experience love or is it all instinct? It is nice for any living creature to have a companion, don't you think? Hope your Mom is surviving her crutches and not being able to do much.
ReplyDeleteAm thinking me and mine Mommy are a little like those "house finches". I won't eat my meals unless she sits nearby and watches over me ... kinda sorta strange that way, I guess. I think it was cause I was a "runt" and everyfurry tried to take my foodz ... now I need a purrtector.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful collection of birds :-D Looking gorgeous for Valetine's Day :-D
ReplyDeleteNiece Sunny Aunty C would love to have a Gambel Quail in her yard. They are adorable and such a cute little voice
ReplyDeleteHugs AC
We love those quail! Too adorable. Love is definitely in the air...course I think the bird feed helps keep them coming 'round. :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the birdie couples you get at your feeders. The birds are scarce around here this time of year.
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Love ... AND BIRDS!!!"
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Meanwhile our Dada is over here singing some kind of crazy song from a crazy movie called 'St. Trinian's' or something ..."

I love your birds and your backyard, but I really love you all dressed up for Valentine's Day, Sunny.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to the pups and my very best to their wonderful peeps. ♥
Hello cuties! Love your custom Bird TV!
ReplyDeletePeople should neuter their red winged black birds
ReplyDeleteYou sure have interesting birdies in your yard. We're too busy chasing them to watch them. XOX Xena and Lucy (Chia isn't allowed to be loose to chase birdies cause she'll run off through the neighborhood.)
ReplyDeleteLove and mating season is certainly "in the air" over there! Here, too.
