For all your feathery spotting news exciting events!


I’m sure I saw another bird thread but couldn’t find it

I went to feed the little duckies and there were baby swans and those little baby moorehen things, cute little spindly hairy things like big spiders :)

Apparently you can’t upload pics from my phone, :sadface:

The old thread was called Bird Words, which rhymed but was on the old forum.

I was clearing some old leaves up in the garden at the weekend and a robin was hanging round - at some points it was right next to me. It kept pecking around where I was clearing and you could see it had a mouthful of grubs and insects. Much as I like robins, I started to feel sorry for the insects I was uncovering.

Should I rename this thread?

It would be a nice gesture.

Hmm.. I've added a poll so the mob can decide.

I like "Bird twitterings" due to the play on words, but as "Bird Words" was the original and worked well I've voted for that.

How about 'Bird Words (and Twitterings)'

No, it's one or another.

Goes to check results…



I'll wait for the other 2 people to vote.

Testing... testing...

There are a great many seagulls round these parts.

It's like living at the seaside.

Little Sydthia is looking a bit peaky, all puffed up, sleepy and not eating the buckets of food she usually ploughs through. I don't think there's anything new to her diet, and she sometime plucks up and chases Fred around the cage, but she's never been a well bird, always tummy wobbles after eating fruit.

I was walking on the beach just a couple days ago and I found a dead fairy blue penguin washed up. It was mostly skeletanised but still had his little bright blue flippers attached.
I took a photo, put wouldn't feel right posting it in this happy thread.
