For WHO's birders

[Nurse Ratched]

"I thought you might like this video.



It's a compilation of different birds singing. Beautiful photography. If you expand the 'title' under the video it gives a list of species and the times they pop up in the video. Most of the species are familiar to us in the UK, but there are some 'exotics' (the cranes - wow, what a noise!) It was filmed in Belarus. The guy has a channel you can subscribe to. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and maybe it'll take your mind off you-know-what for a few blessed minutes."

Fear of anthropomorphism can be overdone. Darwin himself (PBUH) remarked how close animal emotion appears to our own.

Do they post on WHO?

"Midway through January and already they're getting ready for Spring. Here's what I've noticed in my garden over the last few days: Great tits, blue tits and goldfinches singing. Apart from contact calls and alarm calls, they have been silent for 3-4 months. (At least) two sets of great tits and one set of robins have paired up and are courting. No further sightings of the chaffinch who perched in my goat willow one day in December, studiously observing the activity at my seed feeders. The live mealworms are being gobbled up by the robins, great tits and mags. I have two magpie husband and wife couples. One couple is really chill with each other and appears to be in a happy marriage; the other seems problematic. Maybe it's just anthropomorphism, but they don't feed side by side. One stays a distance away until its spouse has finished eating, and they are always 'chattering' at each other from a distance, which looks very like quarrelling."

"Birds in the main are simply little people wearing feather costumes having a bit of a lark to wind up the neighbours. Doves however, appear to be legit. I saw one in a Prince video, I think."

"Nursey, They are nice for about half an hour, mix that with a screaming 8 week old keeping you up half the night it becomes a nuisance.."

"Nurse Whats with the magpies lately? After spring they became more solitary and whilst about less obvious, very recently they have been mobbing up to coin a phrase, making a right racket and perching en masse and flying in formation whilst swooping and generally playing up. Acting like airborne yobbos One interesting thing I did see with the mags occurred a month or so back. Never seen this before. There are fields at the bottom of the garden and the immediately adjacent has had sheep, been doing what sheep do and then one morning I noticed a number of mags in the field, on the ground hopping about. Then one hopped in front of a sheep, as to declare it's presence then leapt on the back of the sheep and started pecking. Intrigued as I've never seen this before, I watched for a while and it was happening frequently with the sheep not at all bothered and possibly even moving to the mag gathering I suspect it was one of those symbiotic capers where the mags were removing parasites, but it was fascinating to observe"

Proving = providing

[Nurse Ratched]

"You mean proving you with free, beautiful entertainment that makes your heart swell and your soul leave your body? That'll be robins, most likely. They're territorial all year round and they're letting other robins know not to mess with them. What sounds like a beautiful, melancholy, fluting melody to us, is actually ""Come near my tree and patch of ground and I'll shove this twig up your arse and peck out your eyes"" Nature is beautiful."

Can anyone explain why I've got birds chirping their cunting heads off about 12am? Only started happening recently.

City foxes are cocky rancid mange infested pick pocketing cunts. Country foxes are nervous handsome chicken rustlers.

[normannomates]

"Not a bird.. Fuck the birds.. they're okay. Its a old timer fox.. She just fronts me everytime I leave the lines...which is rarely, that's the fucked up thing. EVERY time I venture beyond the lines she's just BLATENTLY stands in the middle of the road and mugs me off."

[Hello Mrs. Jones]

I have a beautiful Anna's Hummingbird in the garden. Woe betide any other hummingbird to get anywhere near his patch.

"Got frequent visits from a mob of starlings on my feeders, I like them."

Halcyon days...

"I got a nice pic of a kingfisher the other week by a stream that runs into the Wye, near where I live. Very special birds - stunning bright colours on a very grey day. I put the pic on a local Facebook page and got over 500 likes - never had that before."

"Very nice Nurse. The other day, I had a Sardinian warbler (male) fly into our window and it sat a good few minutes in the window box before it flew off. I was amazed that it could turn it’s head through 180 degrees and look directly behind it’s self! I took a few great photos, but now regret not making a video. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinian_warbler"

Surely you should be spamming my threads with YouTube videos of goalkeepers?
