Babies have all 3 of their baby’s with them this morning and it appears that all of the baby’s can eat seeds on their own well sorta but they are certainly learning and so quickly

Daddy-O just being his weird self his girlfriend is finally coming to the bowls and she has albino face feathers a rare one for sure

Well not a full Albino but she sure has white face feathers this is Daddy-O’s girl / wife she taken a month to be comfortable eating near me with the door open

Our friends the Canary Couple have 3 Babies right now one of their Babies came to the seed bowl and is starting to learn to feed itself sorta but the Baby was the one that started chirping for the seed bowl it must have learned to call us from Mom and Dad Canary

So many of these guys are coming to get the grapes the last couple of weeks it seems that the food supply must be tight right now but that’s why I feed the Neighborhood Back Yard Birds just to enjoy watching them

She’s really only Chirpy when she wants the seeds uncovered such a sweet gal we really enjoy her visits typically a few times a day

Daddy-o makes a lot of chirps 1 to get my attention that he wants the seed bowls then while he eats he’s an interesting guy for several weeks he watched the females and how I interacted with them and finally started eating along with them now he’s quite active In asking for the seed bowls a pretty smart guy

This Female Northern Cardinal is Momma2’s daughter we call her “Chirpy Girl” as she’s very vocal when she wants the seed bowls notice her tail feathers they have a nice red tinge to them And when she flies under her wings is a beautiful red I like to say she’s the one ready to go out as it’s like she’s got all the makeup on a Stunningly Beautiful Girl

Our Fruit Eating Feathered Friends prefer Green Grapes over Red Grapes but the Red Grapes stay on the vine much better these are all birds that live fairly close to our yard and they do challenge outsiders protecting our yard as their own food source we only have pet names for the Northern Cardinals and Canaries both of these breeds call us for their food it’s a lot of fun to have gotten to this point that the birds actually call us with very specific chirps asking to be fed and if they aren’t around all we have to do is call their pet names and they come dive bombing our Plumeria Tree to see what we are up to and if we’re gonna offer them the seed bowls it was an evolutionary process but it’s been a lot of entertainment

Momma2 my absolute current Favorite of the Female Northern Cardinals although her Mother was the most amazing feathered friend I have ever seen but she’s a good second place for sure she never makes any noice she won’t even chirp to let me know she arrived she just hangs out until I notice her in the yard she does pick places that I will see her though her offspring “Chirpy Girl” can be obnoxious when she arrives and wants to eat and it’s interesting to note that each has favorite seeds or types of seeds so fun interacting with them

Our buddies the Red Crested Female and Babies the Mated Saffron finch pair the Saffron Finches are together 80+% of the time and love to call us for the seed bowls this pair are a lot of fun

Just another shorty of the Java Sparrow baby it must suck to be born ugly Hahahahaha

Not one of the species I want to feed and I always chase away the adults but the Baby’s are so innocent and clueless I threw some seeds on the ground for this little guy with his huge hobbit feet

The very acrobatic Mejiro (literal translation eye white) Japanese White Eye cute lil buggers and always so industrious working hard daily at survival

It’s not obvious from this distance but the Female Northern Cardinal that Daddy-O is courting has a rare Albino with white around her eyes I call her old dog because that’s what she looks like

My mother likes me sending our Back Yard Bird videos to her iphone this gal visits us several times a day but today this was her first trip to the seed bowls my god she’s piggin out this one doesn’t have a nickname but she’s a regular, her spouse is too much of a chicken to get this close so he doesn’t get to eat often from these bowls unless I put them on the top of the rock wall, like many species the females are the larger this is because they are the primary ones to lay on and hatch the eggs

Hahahahaha Daddy-O ain’t gonna share with Dumb Birds (Doves) imho the Doves are really Dumb and super messy they are the only Back Yard birds that will shit on their own dinner

This Northern Cardinal Female has so many colorful feathers that a camera just cannot capture nicknames Chirpy because she can be loud and nonstop until the seeds are put on the table she’s one of my favorites we think she is one of Momma2’s offspring

Baby Canary or Saffron Finch is feeding itself it’s sibling has already been chased out of the nest and this one is gonna get it soon imho he/she is a cutie it’s sad watching Mom and Dad chase them off because they peck at their heads pretty hard and chase them all around until they stay away nature can be so brutal I remember the previous Canary Baby and how he/she would sneak over and beg for the seeds until Mom / Dad saw and chased the poor guy away but he was pretty persistent for about a week

The Sun is rising and the Cardinals and Bulbuls are here the Minah Birds left as soon as I open the screen door

The Baby’s came all by themselves to the seed bowls

More of weird Courting Behavior

Daddy-O the Male Northern Cardinal is doing his courting dances with the albino face Female I call her old dog face so weird all the odd chirps and songs he’s been doing for a few days now I guess he’s picked his potential mate

Red Whiskered Bulbuls have the most beautiful voice of all the species that come visit us although many sing beautifully these Bulbuls are amazing bummer that they don’t choose to sing often

More different species paying a visit for the easy eats
