sadedoesOur blackbirds are damn smart and adorable.
They have figured out how to jump flop to grab food from the chickens' feeder (dammit).
We've now seen a couple of times a male blackbird (black blackbird) do the jump flop to grab food from the feeder, to then feed his partner (female brown blackbird).
They have also figured how to perch onto the hanging peanut holder and peck at he peanuts. The sparrows subsequently forage the crumbs underneath.
