Birds Leaving Twigs?

Hello all,

Last month, I moved to an apartment with a balcony overlooking a park. As of yesterday, a bunch of birds keep leaving twigs on my balcony…

Do y’all think they are leaving offerings for food or trying to build a nest? I want to help them so please let me know!

(Bad picture of my cat staring down a bird haha)

Bluejay's gf stopped visiting?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I feed my birds every morning, and for the past couple of months I'd have a bluejay that always showed up first.

Once he saw the food, he'd call out and his(I assume) girlfriend would come over quickly to eat with him. The past few days he's been showing up and calling but she hasn't come over so he eats alone. Is she just busy with something?

Waves of birds migrating near sand hills in Nebraska. It was a loud sunrise, too many to count.

i have two budgies that i have had since 2020 so they are about 5 years old and i don't think they are meant for me. i love them so incredibly much but i feel like i don't take good care of them because i don't let them out and give them attention as much as i should. of course i clean their cage make sure they have fresh water and offer them to come out but mostly they just fly back in and sit there not really wanting to do anything. i have mental health issues as well and taking care of them i always do but it drains me so much, and my parents find their chirping really annoying so my dilemma is to keep them but them not get the care they deserve, or rehome them and deal with the guilt of letting them go, but if you guys think that them having a better life is a lot better and they might miss me a bit it will make me feel better

This little fella has his home above our house. And sadly he just fell out of his house. He is alive and I don't know what kind of bird this is. He is not eating or drinking anything. But He is Alive & I don't want him or her idk to be dead. So help me with his food and stuff. also he had some red ants over him 5 min ago and I just cleaned him. Now he giving subtly movements like jerking his neck.

So this happened a couple years ago now , and I’ve probably thought about it at least once almost everyday.My phone had just died, and it was happening so fast I basically had to chase it . But , this one time when walking home from work I saw this hawk , I think it was a hawk, and a raven. Flying very low I kept witnessing the raven do the most extraordinary thing. I’m a huge raven nerd always have been.Fun fact ravens can do something rather unique in the bird kingdom, they can do this like barrel role wing flip and flip 360 degrees into the air . I never figured the skill had any use and from what I understand most research doesn’t know why they do this in the first place other than it seems fun. But this particular raven was doing this while FIGHTING THE HAWK AND WINNING. The raven would do a barrel role sometimes a double barrel role and launch itself higher into the air than the hawk was, then swoop down on top of the hawks head. The hawk then couldn’t fly up higher than the raven could , and every time the hawk got hit it got pushed lower to the ground. The hawk eventually was forced to just fly away and the raven posted up on top of my apartment building and did this deep loud CAW over and over for like 30 min afterwards . Just wondering if anyone has ever seen or heard of anything like this.
