A pair of our Canary Couples babies finally eating on their own the parents are just out of camera view watching them this is a stage of making sure that their offspring can eat on their own in just a couple weeks they will be a beautiful bright yellow like their Mommy and Daddy

The Northern Cardinal Male “Pretty Boy” this young male is very chatty and has a distinct call for me when he’s requesting the Northern Cardinal seed bowl. I keep several bowls for certain species that contain the seeds each species prefers this young male is very easy to get along with but rarely stays on the seed bowl for long and likes to pick a big peanut whenever he is leaving

These phone cameras really cannot capture the subtle colors of Pretty Girl she is my favorite Back Yard Bird and looks into our window to see if we are here if I don’t put her seeds out quickly when she chirps at us. She’s so kind and sweet yet she has never shown up with a mate. The Other Northern Cardinal Female “Ol Dog Face” is this gals Mother yet they never eat together anymore in fact her Mom chases her away as they are territorial but Pretty Gurl likes the easy meal and I think my company since she talks to me a lot

This is a female African Ringneck the females don’t actually have the ring around their neck she just popped onto the potted Hybiscus and ate some grapes while they are called Parakeets holy cow they are big I consider them a parrot

Wow what a beautiful bird with such a nice long tail This guy has just recently shown interest in the feeding we do in our yard I think winter months aren’t as abundant so an easy meal is enticing

Java Sparrows aka Tuxedo’s aka Hobbit aka Flying Penguin

Back Yard Birds Hawai’i and one of the offspring from the Albino Female Northern Cardinal Female this gal is pretty colorful

Pretty Girl one of our Northern Cardinal Frens

This pair is our original Canary Couple they are very territorial and fend off 2-3 other couples. This breed of birds are unique as they rarely are alone they always seem to be together as a couple these 2 have been coming to eat in our yard for over 3 years now and respond to “Babies” our nickname for them so we can call them when we are able to sit and watch them eat. We only feed certain birds that don’t make a big mess and the birds respond to our calls or they will come to a tree in our yard and chirp asking to be fed I’m amazed at just how intelligent many bird species are boy oh boy they can be really smart especially the Common Minah and the Northern Cardinals and of course “Babies”

The grapes were out fir a bit as soon as I placed more in the Hibiscus these 2 White Eyes were so excited and Happy

Such super cool birds so smart

Went to Nor Cal to Visit my Mother and a crow was cawing at me so I threw some bread into the court just to see if they would have a meal and have been feeding them daily these birds are a trip such intelligent critters they are getting to know me and they will eat about anything that’s leftover I’m really enjoying their company and watching their behavior I swear they are smarter than my brother

This young lady is new and has only been visiting for a bit over a Week it’s taken this long to have her not fly away when I open the dour to take a video

A Japanese White Eye family and the parents are teaching their babies to eat

They are enjoying my wife sitting outside since the bigger birds stay away and they get to eat such a cute family

Just another day in Paradise and our happy back yard birds

This little Baby Red Whiskered Bulbul is not a perfect specimen and was abandoned but the little guy knows our yard and we are making sure that there is a variety of food for it the first day of it being abandoned it went to different adults begging to be fed but has since just decided it is going to live and feed itself what a little trooper there are a lot of things that just don’t seem right about this bird but we love it’s zest to survive

So many birds Japanese White Eye’s, Red crested Cardinals, Red Whiskered Bulbul, Common House Finch’s

This Baby Red Crested Cardinal (they have a brown crest as babies) was brought by its parent to learn how to feed itself at a safe and easy place to eat

Daddy-O claims our yard as his territory he’s actually protective yet kind all at one time such a cool bird

He just gets so relaxed and is such a great friend

Our 15 year old Border Collie can barely walk these days but he still loves his pool and gets so relaxed he starts falling asleep

This guy came out of nowhere I’ve never seen him before but he just jumped into the seed bowls and had a meal it would have been interesting if Daddy-O our buddy Male Cardinal was nearby just to watch him chase off this guy

It’s Red Vented Bulbul baby time so many parent Bulbuls are coming by for grapes and papayas to feed their offspring it was hard locating the babies with my phones camera but I did find them :-)

Our Buddies the Canaries (Saffron Finch’s) we named “Babies” this pair comes to eat when we call out Babies but so do the Common House Finches now but “Babies” also call us asking to be fed it didn’t take them long to train us the Saffron’s are very territorial but now their offspring are coming even though the parents try to chase them off so we used to only see this pair and at times their youngsters now we have 3 mated pairs and a single female well she’s single for now I’m curious if when she gets a mate that she’ll still visit us at any rate we love our Back Yard Birds
