© DeadlyTeaParty Property Please join my nature page: www.facebook.com You’ll never guess what I came across today?? I CAME ACROSS A GOLDFINCH’S NEST; EVEN BETTER THE ACTUAL PAIR WERE MAKING IT!! I love these little birds; they are so bright and colourful; to be truthful I find it real had to get great videos of them!! Latin name Carduelis carduelis Family Finches (Fringillidae) Overview A highly coloured finch with a bright red face and yellow wing patch. Sociable, often breeding in loose colonies, they have a delightful liquid twittering song and call. Their long fine beaks allow them to extract otherwise inaccessible seeds from thistles and teasels. Increasingly they are visiting birdtables and feeders. In winter many UK goldfinches migrate as far south as Spain. Where to see them Anywhere there are scattered bushes and trees, rough ground with thistles and other seeding plants. Likes orchards, parks, gardens, heathland and commons. Less common in upland areas and most numerous in southern England. When to see them All year round. What they eat Seeds and insects in summer.

The Bird Cage … ( Pigeon Proof Bird Feeder ) … Due to recent problems with pigeons getting on to my bird feeders I decided to invest in this “Bird Cage”. I initially thought the gaps were going to be too small for the bullfinches to fit through, but I’m pleased to say I had no need to be concerned.

THIS BIRD WOULD PECK THE WINDOW, THEN GET A DRINK, PECK THE WINDOW, GET A DRINK AND SO ON. IT DID THIS FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. I THINK ITS CAUSE WE HAD SOME BABY CHICKS IN THE HOUSE THAT IT COULD HEAR CHIRPING.

On this nice sunny Mother’s Day morning, I happened to notice two Orioles trying to drink sugar water out of a hummingbird feeder outside our sliding glass patio door. This is extremely unusual as I have never seen an Oriole at ANY of our feeders before – nor have I ever observed any other bird than a hummingbird at the hummingbird feeder. I set the camera out and caught the pair making a couple of passes at the thing before they took off to parts unknown. In the second half of the clip, a red-bellied woodpecker gets tired of waiting for a male grosbeak to leave the feeder. He finally descends from the upper reaches of the tree and runs him off. It starts out with a stare-down, then a peck to make his point! [I've heard that red-heads do have a temper!] When the woodpecker leaves, a titmouse hurries in and makes a snatch and grab for a sunflower seed – then he’s outta there! It is early am on the first part and I’m sorry the lighting is poor. In any event, I hope you enjoy the clip.

Find out what birds come to visit my bird feeder on a typical snowy day in central Ohio. Transcript: “It was a cold, overcast day in central Ohio. I set up a camera for a day to capture the typical birds that visit my feeder. The birds were ready for breakfast bright and early when the sun came up. On this particular day we captured Juncos, Starlings, House Sparrows, House Finches, Goldfinches & Mourning Doves. Activity in the afternoon slowed down a little bit. There aren’t many trees in the area so we don’t have any squirrels and we don’t get some of the more popular birds of the region that require more cover like chickadees & blue jays. Other birds that I’ve seen at this feeder include Northern Cardinals, grackles & red-winged blackbirds.”

Robin Puffing Up Filmed on 14th June 2009 Video Produced by Goldfinch Garden The Robin is one of the most distinct and popular British birds, and was voted as the national bird of Great Britain in a ballot nearly 40 years ago. They are often associated with Christmas, and regularly feature on cards, wrapping paper and other festive odds and ends! They were nicknamed in the 19th century when the postmen wore red waistcoats as part of their uniform, and were called Robin Red Breasts! You will often hear them warbling and chirping as, unlike some birds, they sing all year round. Length: 12-13cm Wingspan: 20cm Conservation Status: Green Description: The RobinFemale Robin is famous for, and easily recognised by, its distinctive red breast; you can spot them all year round in the British Isles. Their red breast is bordered by thin, brown-grey feathers and the wings and back of the Robin are light brown. Male and female Robins are identical, but the juveniles have light spotted brown plumage with no red. Nesting: Robins can be found in various habitats, including woodlands, parks and, much to our satisfaction, gardens. They are one of the earliest birds to nest, and their nests are commonly made from sticks, grass, moss and dead leaves. They are built in areas with lots of shelter and easy access, however, they are famous for nesting in all sorts of random locations including sheds, boats, hanging baskets, old boots and other mischievous places! The male will find the area for …
