Wow ok no tag for me

I'm sowwy Dubz!!!! I didn't know you were a birb enthusiast! Come join the party

 

[variegata]

Yay birb crew! I have a silly pine tree right in front of my balcony that usually only gets sparrows, cardinals, jays and the occasional nuthatch...but TODAY a Baltimore oriole flitted through it for like 30 seconds. Most exciting bird I've ever seen in that tree!

 

[vetmedhead]

I'm so amused by this thread because irl I notoriously hate birds as patients (reptiles 4 lyfe ), but I really like birdwatching so I guess it evens out.

The White-Breasted Nuthatch is my favorite bird!!! I literally have this sticker on my laptop 😀

 

[MOOSEygoosey]

For those of you that have never heard a white-breasted nuthatch, please follow this link (White-breasted Nuthatch Sounds, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology), click on Song (Eastern) and enjoy 😀

I'm partial to goofy shorebirds myself. Roseate spoonbills and brown pelicans are my two favorites, with laughing gulls up there somewhere.

Spoonbill sounds fun

They're giant idiots and they're everywhere by my house. There's also an absolutely massive flock of sandhill cranes behind my house but they mostly just hang out and taunt my dogs

Oh my god he looks amazing
And there were some Sandhills that came to my old house a couple summers!

 

[MOOSEygoosey]

Has anyone here seen Topaz??? He's a GORGEOUS Golden Conure who loves to dance after viewing himself in the mirror 😛

The fun thing about the sandhills in my area at least is that if you're patient and have good eyes you can occasionally find a whooping crane among their numbers in the winter time. The whooping cranes tend to stick more to Aransas Pass (about 30 mins away) but sometimes they venture closer to my neck of the woods

I hate birbs wtf why am I tagged here.

Except penguins. They are all that is pure in the world.

 

[variegata]

I'm partial to loons myself. I think they're probably my favorite MN bird. They're so pretty and I love their call!

 

[jaboo]

Not a bird person myself but here’s an angery birb I once helped treat.

What #Basic Bird Are You

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

I literally love birds. I have a large large bird tattoo. My two loves are birds and cats but they just don’t get along too well... however I am also not sure I am a duck. On a different note though my partner may get ducklings and I am just a bit excited (wow that post was everywhere lmao)

 

[vetmedhead]

I got mourning dove, which is great because it's the only bird call I can do. Lol

 

[CoffeeQuestionMark]

I like to play with macaws. I don't trust the smaller ones nearly as much.

 

[cdo96]

I think of you as a ray of sunshine, cdo.

[TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo]

I saw my first Puget Sound Whitecrowned Sparrow of the season the other day, a gorgeous adult with a well defined crown 🙂

See I don't do much birdwatching but love my bird patients. With our powers combined...

But...penguins are legitimately evil creatures...

 

[TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo]

I very much dislike domestic birds but love wild ones. Backup plan to vet school is to continue developing my banding skills and do contract work through that and other monitoring programs. 🙂

Next SDN meetup should include some birding!

 

[WildZoo]

Oh yeah, I should point out my bird patients have mostly been wildlife, both free and captive.

I don't know why I'm surprised...

[variegata]

I got mallard too. Wouldn't have picked that species as the "sporty and fun" one, but hey, I didn't make the quiz.

 

[MOOSEygoosey]

I got Mourning Dove too!!!! And yas!!! I love to do their little cooing! Boyfriend got Blue Jay lol, obnoxious little birbs

5/23 Mist Netting Photos 😀
In order from left to right going row by row: Male Red-Winged Blackbird, Tufted Titmouse, Female Mourning Warbler, Song Sparrow, Male Canada Warbler, Traill's Flycatcher, a Bald Eagle (almost at full adult plumage), and TEDDY THE BEST MIST-NETTING DOG THAT EVER EXISTED!!!! Teddy is one of the bander's dogs and he is probably the best behaved dog on the planet! If anyone wants to see more of Teddy, he has his own Instagram account: teddyroo_ballyhoo

 

[SkiOtter]

I don't know why I'm surprised...

I don’t know why you even bothered to take it

 

[Skimble]

Birb nerbs unite!!!

I also got mallard, but I didn’t like some of the questions, like I don’t even drink coffee.

Yayyy!!! Everyone told me I'd eventually develop a "taste" for coffee but I never did 😛 (my bf used to be a barista at a local coffee shop so I'm surrounded by it alll freaking day loonnngg)

There were two ducks randomly in downtown Ithaca today. They waited for the crosswalk signal to cross the road and then went their merry way. I may have been laughing loudly in my car.

Have you met Canada Geese??

 

[WildZoo]

Have you met Canada Geese??

There can be more than one evil creature in the world

 

[SkiOtter]

Have you met Canada Geese??

Yes. They’re not that bad if you don’t look at them and pretend you’re not afraid and walk at a faster pace (which mine naturally is)
