Hello 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

I 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.
