birdfeeding
This is cool! A community for people interested in all sorts of bird-related activities and issues. Lots of posts about bird spottings and weather reports, and some nice pictures too.
As with most nature-related things, I feel like I've always had a vague interest in birdwatching, but I've never really gotten into it...though there are some real cuties and beauties near where I live. I love seeing blackbirds running full steam ahead across my path, and catching glimpses of what I think are Eurasian Jays is always a treat. There's also a Scops Owl that I've gotten used to hearing on summer evenings, and I'm looking forward to hearing its distinctive, kinda sad call again this year. Anyway, peeking at this community just now was a good opportunity to reflect on these little sources of bird-related delight in my neighborhood.

Date: 2026-05-02 04:51 am (UTC)I've never considered getting a birdfeeder to put outside any of our windows, mostly because the main birds around our apartment are pigeons and crows and they seem pretty well-fed already and pretty comfortable chilling on our window sills anyway. :D

(Zoning laws, as far as I can tell, don't exist here.) So there's nothing really to look at and it protects my privacy on the first floor - I can have the curtains open to let the sunlight in and not let all of my neighbors look directly into my bedroom!
When I lived with my brother and brother-in-law, they had a birdfeeder on the patio by the big sliding glass door and the cats got hours of entertainment out of it.
