View Full Version : What kind of birds do you get in your yard?
Dude111 07-01-2026, 05:08 PM We get alot of Bluebirds. I love bluebirds. I dont see them that often.
They compete with the sparrows for nesting space and often lose,so our yard is not a favourite hangout for them. I see them once in a while though.
I have recently been hearing night bird activity also and I wonder if thats anything bad?
What do you see out there??

Who deleted their reply?
Dude111 07-02-2026, 10:16 AM Someone had one right after me and hours later they deleted it,im not sure why...
Birds are beautiful... One time a young bird. Looked like she just came from the nest.. She sat on my finger!!! -- It was beautiful and at the same time made me sad because older Birds have quite an attitude and fly off if you come near them...
I wouldnt hurt any of them :(

stevea 07-03-2026, 06:02 PM Probably the "tap tap" bird, a nuthatch. He pecks away at mud dauber tunnels.
Then, of course, a tree tapper, the woodpecker.
A couple of years ago, a cardinal nest right outside the garage door.
Dream Canteen 07-03-2026, 06:31 PM Ever since I moved to Southern California this past December, it’s mostly crows. Lots and lots of crows. And they’re all over the place.
I also see a ton of lizards in my yard or when I’m out and about.

Yes. We have lots of crows out here.! And some are really big and scary looking . Maybe ravens? But still cool. I love crows/ ravens , very interesting and mysterious. And I love those cute little lizards . :)

Older birds have attitudes! :lol::D I'm sorry , but that struck me funny. :happyface:D

These are the teen birds lol (in shorter bird years, of course)

Yeah, those lizards are awesome! You never see them where I’m from unless someone is keeping them as a pet, so it’s still a delightful novelty to me.
Dude111 07-03-2026, 10:06 PM Hehe im sorry guys... It just makes me sad older birds dont trust us..
Dream: Wow you get crows??
stevea 07-03-2026, 10:55 PM Most wild animals don't trust humans. Usually any bird sitting on your finger is an anomaly.
Unless of course you put some seeds in your hands.

These are well known traits of teenage birds. They are also known to be dropouts.

Ya know , the more I think about it , I'm not sure they are teenage birds? Could they be older birds that are just in a bad mood ? :crazy:

Your point is well taken. I can always tell when an old bird is in a bad mood.
Dude111 07-04-2026, 11:10 AM Ah man!!
I know what Stevie means :D
stevea 07-04-2026, 11:51 AM Actually, you should give Bonnie some credit, too lol.
Dude111 07-04-2026, 03:12 PM Hehehe Yes I noticed :)
Hehe im sorry guys... It just makes me sad older birds dont trust us..

I asked around, and I guess what I’m seeing and hearing is a mix of crows and ravens. I just haven’t figured out how to tell them apart yet. I guess ravens make a more high-pitched noise, while crows have that hoarse-sounding, “Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaaaah!”
