April Looks Promising Raising Borders
Apr 01

I have a bird condo and four feeders near my office window, so I spend a lot of time looking at the birds.  We get a lot of finches (I know they are finches because they eat the finch food) and some small, round buff/brown with black head ones, along with starlings and some quail that come through.

The small ones are the birds that set up house in the bird condo.  There are 8 apartments each with at least a pair - though it looks like some threesomes may have set up house together.

It is sunny today and the birds are doin’ the thang right on the front perches of their condos.  Out in front of my Brittneys, God and everybody.  The Brittneys are pretty excited; I think they anticipate one falling off where they can catch him.

Meanwhile, a male quail is strutting his stuff for the ladies, who are watching him in kind of semi-circle like he is the Ricky Martin of quail.  Ricky does this bob-bob thing with his wings out, tailfeathers spread and ass wiggling.   I’m not sure what cologne Ricky is wearing, because he has a twin across the road doing the same dance, but no girls are checking him out.

The love fest at the Condos just got broken up by a starling who thinks she can fit through a condo door.  The tenants are all banding together to fight the starling off.
