Yes birds are very cute, especially when they tweet and chirp. Or the way they walk and wag their butt.
Blessed by God for making such things.

The Noisy Friar Bird, one of my favourites that comes seasonally to my backyard. He is quite ugly, poor thing, but a ton of personality. Small head, completely bald with a small horn on his nose. Great sounds. Turn up the volume. The first couple of minutes a bit drawn out unfortunately

Is this a dove? Siri thesis bros?
Yes, it's a dove. Landed on his head when he was offering Mass outdoors under a tent somewhere about a year before the "election" of Roncalli. Read what you will into it. But then I recall how doves attacked Wojtyla the one time, and then how a raven or some other bird swooped down and attacked / killed the "peace doves" released by Bergoglio.
Here's Jorge's "peace dove" --

Ratzinger released some "peace doves" also, and they refused to leave the window.
Wojtyla got attacked by them and had to swat them away.

A female European Honey Buzzard Bird was fitted with a satellite tracking system in Finland recently and was of particular interest to locals because it spent the most recent austral summer around the town of Reitz in the Free State in South Africa. She left Reitz to start heading north on 20 April and on the 2nd of June, she finally reached Finland where she will probably spend the boreal summer before probably returning again next season for a visit in South Africa.
Here is an image showing the data received from the tracker which plots out the route that she took to head north... so, in just 42 days, she covered over 10 000 km at an average of more than 230 km every single day! Isn’t that just amazing...?!"
What is amazing is how she took a straight line north except for when she had to fly over water. (or Sudan)
Apparently she turned right at the source of the Nile and followed it. It is still fascinating that after that deviation she returned to the same longitudinal line she started on and continued until she reached her destination. Mother nature at its most fascinating best.

As a side note. I saw a pigeon walking along the fence this morning. The little clack sounds as it walks is very pleasing as well as the way its head/neck moves forward/backwards as it walks is cute.
Thy cheeks are beautiful as the turtledove's, thy neck as jewels.
Behold thou art fair, O my love, behold thou art fair, thy eyes are as those of doves

I think it might have been a dove not a pigeon because it was on the small side.

Oh, no, 2V. I wasn't being sarcastic. It really is very noisy sometimes, but mostly a pleasant noisiness. The kookaburras sometimes join in and drown us out when we are saying our Rosary. I am fascinated by the sounds of the various birds. So much variety.
I would never have even the quietest bird inside my home. It is nature of birds to be free, unless of course it is destined to provide food for us human.

Aha! I love the way he moves too. This guy, though very common to see in parks cleaning up the food scraps messy people have left around is very intelligent. He is also known for his navigational skills. He is used as a racing, homing or messenger pigeon. He was used in wartime for carrying messages and the enemy would try to shoot him done. A plucky little fellow. As a child, I hada neighbour who kept an aviary of these which he used for racing and sending messages.

Not as nasty as wild geese, at least. Wherever there are open fields, dozens of them en masse regularly decide to cross the road unannounced. Tap your brake lights for the driver behind you and wait patiently. Oh, and don't wear a red or blue bandana during turkey hunting season....

‘For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen – His everlasting power also and divinity - being understood through the things that are made. And so they are without excuse, seeing that, although they knew God they did not glorify Him as God or give him thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds have been darkened.’--- St Paul’s Letter to the Romans.

Bumblebees are quite beautiful. We don't see many where we live, but we have a lot of wasps. We have an electric water fountain on the patio in the summer, and there's often one or two dozen wasps patiently waiting for me to fill the fountain so they can have a drink. They are never aggressive; probably paper wasps. They help to keep down the bug population. Nature is amazing really.

I did, Nadir. If you reverse search the image of the mother bird with babies, it comes back as AI-generated. The latin was a failed attempt at humor and Midjourney is a popular AI image generator. :laugh1:
It almost looks like it's based on some varieties of Coturnix quail, like a Pearl or Egyptian.

The swan is a photo sent to me by a nephew. I’m not sure what kind of camera or phone he uses, but one of his side gigs is selling photos to businesses and offices.
It’s too early for me to find any sights like this. I’m too far north. In fact, light snow is predicted for tomorrow morning. There is still snow in the higher elevations and at least one small ski resort is still open and using mostly natural snow. I’d guess a couple of weeks and we won’t see the snow again until late October. The latest snow I ever remember is on May 4 of 1983, it came down in huge flakes and was melted within a few hours. The earliest snow was on August 28, 1991; it was “spitting” snow from around 3-5 AM, leaving a blow-away coating, dry coating. My camp thermometer read 29 F. By afternoon, the sun was out and people in town were wearing shorts and t-shirts.
The swans here will be nesting in early May. The far northern and high elevations in New York State and New England have always been about 4-5 weeks apart in season.
It’d be interesting to return in time to see the cygnets! Then, you really need to be careful as neither Mama nor Papa Swan take kindly to uninvited visitors showing interest in their family!

I cannot tell if it is AI but the bird is a European Robin, Erithacus rubecula. There is a legend that a robin pulled out a thorn from The Crown of Thorns at the Crucifixion to help Our Lord and its breast was stained with blood.

Yes 2Vermont, Philip is right, its a robin redbreast washing itself. Most numerous bird in Ireland.
They can become very friendly and are known to eat out of the hand that feeds them.

Well, those pictures show an orange-red breast. The other one is yellow. Not sure why the difference.

Now that you point it out 2vermont it does look more of an orange-red breast than a red red breast.
I don't think they will change the name though. All the best.

From a park in New Jersey! This is the male. They mate for life and take turns doing nest duty. Photo is taken with a telephoto setting. Nesting or parent swans can be very aggressive and will go all out to protect their young from perceived threat. There are no Planned Parenthood or abortion clinics for swans.
That is cool. Where in NJ?

Turkeys at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, NY, near AGS, Alternating Gradient Synchotron, atomic particle collider.
They glow in the dark. (Not! My Dad worked on the AGS for 42 years and he never glowed, either.) 🦃 💡 ☢️

This cassowary I hope never to meet. He lives in the coastal rainforest and he is wont to attack.

Imagine if this cassowary spent some time in the atom collider! He’d be truly magnificent! Better than a guard dog! He’d make short work of the turkeys, too!

I saw four Australian King Parrots (1 male and 3 female) in my garden this morning.
Alisterus scapularis
The largest of the brightly coloured local parrots, the King-Parrot is common in the ranges to the west of Canberra. Large numbers can be seen about an hour after sunrise, or in the late afternoon, flying between their communal roosts and their daily feeding range.
They feed on seeds, berries and other fruits, nuts, nectar, blossoms and leaf buds. Because such food is readily available in most mature Canberra gardens, more of these birds survive the winter. Perhaps too, more people are providing food for parrots.
Groups of three to five birds are usually seen at a time.These birds have a very obvious seasonal pattern with lower numbers recorded during the breeding season. Breeding records are also increasing but there are rarely nest records, probably because king-parrots nest in large deep hollows in the trunks of tall trees, with the nest 10 metres below the entrance. Such trees seldom occur in Canberra gardens.
The ones were saw were more brightly coloured.
Males are redheads,females are greenheads.

You are right. It’s a lucrative business and has been for quite a while. Much of it is blackmarket.

It happened that the gardener and his niece were working here at the time and they both got shots on their phones. It is rare to sight them. If I can get copies I'll post them, so you can see how much the ones we saw are of much deeper richer colours. These I have published here do not do them justice.
It could be that these photos were taken in the capital in the south and we live in the remote tropical north.

The little videos of the mother birds shielding their babies from the rain was super cute. It reminded me of how our little boys come and hide behind my dress when they are nervous in new places with new people.

It always reminds me of this verse: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldest not?" (Matthew 23:37)
