  A chipmunk squirrel demolished my birds' favorite feeder (which was also my first feeder)...
  I am both angry and quite disappointed 😥

  Squirrels are trash, they destroy feeders and bully birds. Some also eat bird eggs and chicks.

  I had a family of American robins nesting in my garden shed, the brood went very well and the chicks fledged yesterday :)

  Since yesterday, I always see a blue jay tearing branches from my red maple tree and bringing them to my pine. I think a blue jay has decided to nest in my pine :D

  If we look closely, it has some differences. But he is nevertheless from the same family.
  It lacks the center of the top of the head silvery gray on the head, like the house sparrow and it has a black cheek patch.
  This is just a brief summary of what is different, I'm sure there must be other differences.

  Hi, do you have any suggestions for bird topics you'd like me talk in blog or wall post?
  Only, I refuse two subjects:
  
  Nesting boxes: I prefer to talk about subjects I am sure of and I do not yet have any nesting boxes at home and therefore, there are still certain things of which I myself am uncertain on the subject
  
  Invading squirrels at feeders: I already have a problem with an ugly chipmunk squirrel that empties all my feeders and because of it, I lose a lot of food and therefore have a lot less birds at my feeders. It would therefore be ridiculous for me to talk about how to get rid of it when I am struggling myself to get rid of one.

  There is one thing that I often notice. Species that are hunted are much more fearful of humans than those that are not.
  I will take as an example the European robin. Well known to British and Irish gardeners, he will not hesitate to approach people who move the earth to try to spot insects emerging from the ground. But in continental Europe, he is often hunted and is much more fearful in this country.
  Second example that I experience personally, I get along very well with my downy woodpecker and nuthatch couple on my property. When they're in my feeder and I come out of the balcony, they don't leave and act like I'm not there. Even if I had to pass close to the feeder! But the mourning doves are very fearful, they could have been much further from my feeder, as soon as I go out, they leave panicked.
  I learned one day that mourning doves were hunted a lot.
  I don't know if it was by a hunter but one day, on my balcony, I noticed a mourning dove injured in the neck. I will talk about the story of this dove in another wall post.
  After noticing this on more fearful species after being hunted, I imagine that if hunting had never existed, the birds would probably have always been close to us and would never have been afraid of humans...

  I wanted to make a song with rhymes about birds. It's my first time doing a song with rhymes in English, because I'm French. So I hope it's good.
  
  Birds sing
  Birds sing
  It's spring !
  It's spring !
  I saw the first swallow
  It's was on my window !
  Hey, the blue geai !
  The feeder is on this way !
  I saw a parulidae !
  He seem to like my echinacea !
  I like my woodpecker
  And he likes my feeder !
  Birds love to sing in the spring !

  I fully understand why you don't like fieldfare. although i tend to say i love all birds, there are a few i try to avoid having in my garden, such as the shrike which can attack small birds.

  XiDipping said 2022-04-08 08:20:16

  

  When Common Wood Pigeons appear I'm happy, when Common Starlings appear I'm even more happy, when Fieldfares arrive I feel like the most unlucky person on earth.
  
  If you don't understand why i dislike Fieldfares so much as dream, they compete with the local Common Wood Pigeons, Magpies, Rock Doves, Common Blackbirds, Rooks and European Jackdaws for resources, commonly making their populations smaller in the process.

  Orcraftia said 2022-04-05 13:02:44

  

  I just want to warn this:
  There are only blue jays and woodpeckers that I actually have on my property. Swallows and parulidae have not yet arrived in my country.

  The official announcement for the Minecraft Spring Whit Warblers contest will arrive tomorrow!
  But I have a question...
  When the contest is over, how should I do to give the trophies to the winners and participants? ^^'
  I feel a little silly asking this question but I'm just afraid of making the slightest mistake.

  Ok, thanks for this answer :)

  Karaoke said 2022-03-24 16:54:21

  

  No need to feel silly for asking questions.
  
  For community contests you will use a image host (for PMC I like to use imgbb) you then paste the direct image links back to here. You can tag the winners and it's up to them to add that trophy to their own showcase. You can check out my profile for my community badges and my community trophy list for examples. Cheers.

  Good things to know for birds
  It is advisable to clean the feeders every two weeks or otherwise once a month. Same thing for birdbaths!
  
  Seed bags mixed at the store may contain foods that the birds are not very keen on, such as red millet. If you want to attract a lot of birds, choose the food well!
  
  Small feeder good to make : Take an empty onion net, very clean, fill it with peanuts and nuts then close it. You can then hang it on a tree. Chickadee, nuthatch and woodpecker will be delighted! Be careful, the squirrels could steal it mercilessly, as happened to me this morning...
  
  If you want to attract fruit-loving birds but you don't have fruit trees, tie small berries to a tree or shrub where you often see birds.
  
  Do you like to cook? Here is a recipe you can make for the birds!
  1 cup cornmeal (I personally use chicken food)
  1/4 cup oatmeal (kind doesn't matter)
  1/4 cup flour (white or brown)
  1/2 cup shortening
  1/2 peanut butter (unsalted)
  Mix well then refrigerate before putting outside.
  The birds on my land took a long time to appreciate it, but the sparrows, which never went into the suet before, started going there a lot once I used this recipe!
  (Since I'm using chicken food, the recipe holds together a lot, that's why I can put it in the suet feeder. But with cornmeal, it could hold together much less well)
  
  If you have any questions about birds, don't hesitate to ask me!

  This species is called like that because of its song, which can make you think of a complaint or crying.
  But I'm sure they're not sad, I'm sure they're happy :3

  oooooo ima have to try this this summer! ive had good luck with humming bird feeders, but i havent been able to set up other feeders, maybe this year i can!
