Bird commentary

Tweet

I like to look out the window to see if there are any birds in the backyard. I love birds, even though we only get grackles, pigeons, doves, and woodpeckers, I still love watching them. My mom gets a kick out of me when I commentate what is happening outside. I make little stories going on, like one time there were 3 female birds at the water dish we have outside and I was saying it was a girls night and then two male birds came flying down trying to crash it and the female birds were not having it and chased them off. Today there was this sweet little pigeon dove (I think they are called like a Columbidae, but pigeon dove just sounds better even though that is kind of redundent..whatever!) and it was trying to fly in for a sip of the water then a grackle (kind of like a tiny crow) comes in and swats at this bird, and then another pigeon dove also harasses this bird. Every time it comes back this second pigeon dove attacks it. So I was talking about how they got beef and no one likes the birds because they are different or whatever, maybe they don't like eating bugs and only go after seeds, you know...veggie bird. And my mom was just laughing and then she was dying every time I got excited seeing pidgeons. We don't get pidgeons a lot around here, I don't know why like there are so many pigeons near my dad who is like 3 blocks away, but not many here. But I always get excited when I see pigeons, I think they are pretty even though most people hate them. I wish we got quail in my yard, but we don't. I see them a lot near a bike pathway so that is exciting, but it would be cute to see a little quail family drink from the water dish. Maybe someday! My mom tells me I should record myself talking about the birds and they would get a kick out of me doing bird commentary.
