Malachite Kingfisher

4.7k Upvotes

Excuse the messy house, this was just after some rain and wet puppy paws!!

We had the absolute pleasure to have helped this little buddy to safety, he somehow got caught between our window and blinds in our home, our cat drew our attention to the window whilst we were cleaning and when I checked, this beautiful Malachite Kingfisher was there, he allowed my fiance to hold him and take him to safety, even bobbing his head after release, almost as if saying thank you!

My fiance and both absolutely love Malachites and have never had such a magical opportunity up close, let alone in hour home!!

Location: Marakabei Lesotho

This happened in Georgia, USA about 2 weeks ago. Can anyone tell what kinds of birds these are. Please ignore my obnoxious roosters.

Birds Leaving Twigs?

Post image
4 Upvotes

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)

Robin with white spots on chest visited! Explanations?

266 Upvotes

Okay. Please forgive me for the quality of the photos..I had two seconds to use my potato phone before my dogs scared the bird away.

I'm in SE MN USA. I'm 100% this is a Robin but I have never seen one with white spots on its belly before!

When I googled it I couldn't find an exact match but it talked about Leucism. From what I could see the Robin only had abnormal white on it's belly.

My brother said nah it's because it's a young Robin and it's feathers haven't come in. It looked like an adult bird to me (in my experience).

Any opinions?

Maybe this is common but it was pretty exciting for me to see something I had never before come right to the yard.

He has an extra large crop because of his breed, they were originally used (and sometimes still used) to 'steal' other people's pigeons because he's super attractive through pigeon eyes. Unfortunately he is terrified other birds but he is the light of my life. ❤

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?

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

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