Maude NificentHello Cockie!
weather app tells me we have 15kmh wind gusts - cockatoo on the roof next door is getting so floofed and buffeted his yellow crest is leaning over at a 40 degree angle.
the sky above is quite grey and overcast, and the solar panels on the roof reflect the grey

Socar MylesI hate when people don't know what a bird is, so they ask you what the bird is. You tell them what the bird is, and they AGGRESSIVELY DENY IT. "No, it's not a sparrow. I know from sparrows. Sparrows are grey, and that's sort of brownish. It isn't a sparrow. You're wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong."
...dude, that's a sparrow.
This is a pigeon I saw at my old flat by False Creek. It had some nice speckly markings, but I never got a good picture.
I've just been informed it's National Bird Day. I'm not sure what nation that applies to, but surely I MUST post a bird.
This is a nicely-framed shot of a song sparrow showing its tuchis. Damn it...
Sometimes, you're taking a picture of a bird, and another bird pushes it out and jams its underbeak into the picture.
Perhaps my silliest, blurriest bird shot yet.
I've always wanted to snap a picture of a hummingbird tongue--the holy grail of bird tongue photography--and I put up a hummingbird feeder to further my quest. Sadly, the red plastic caught my landlord's eye, and he made me take it down. I figured I'd try again once I became a homeowner, but joke's on me: the strata council also forbids birdfeeding.
Next summer, I'm going to fill my balcony with bright red flowers.
These are some bird pictures that didn't go quite right. Birds don't always sit still, or face the right way. Sometimes, they ALMOST do, then they mess it all up, and you're left to lament the picture you could've had.
