What kind of birds do you get in your yard? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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??

Sparrows, Mourning doves, Crows and some Pigeons

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

Blue Jays, Cardinals,Chickadees, Mourning Doves, Titmice, Robins,Juncos,Nuthatches, Red Bellied Woodpeckers,Downy Woodpeckers,Hairy Woodpeckers, Baltimore Orioles,Goldfinches, Wrens and a variety of Sparrows

I keep a full bird feeder all year.

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.

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!

I'm sorry , but that struck me funny.

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.
