Hab ich auch noch nie gehört- ich will das auch! 😅😭

Crow sitting on almost leafless tree twigs, cloudy grey sky.

Observation log - morning, 11°C. Reginald [crow] requested breakfast snack. Didn't collect. Left after several complaints. Thesis:
- hates shutters (they're ugly)
- hates leaf blower (who doesn't)
Update: R. returned 20min later to collect snack after leaf blower left. We have a common enemy.

Crow (Reginald) sitting on a maple tree with read orange autumn leafs, grey sky in the background.

I haven't seen Yen for months. At this point I believe something has happened to her. I miss her. Reginald was extremely nervous and easily spooked. He shows up again regularly now, but he's still anxious. Sometimes another crow accompanies him. Today he dared landing on the windowsill again.

I'm convinced you're getting full 5 star reviews. I'm jealous.

An occasional cooked egg is also great. I tried mealworms once and the crows weren't happy about those 🤣

It's because peanuts are not suitable for spring food because they're not suitable to give to the chicks the first weeks.... 😄 don't worry crow, peanuts will be back.

Winter's grip is tightening with colder temperatures and snow. 🥶 The crows are very happy for an extra snack today. Their behaviour gives a higher vibe of urgency.

Really happy with how this waxwing capture turned out 😊 Bohemian waxwings are usually a quite rare sight here in the winter, but seems like more than usual have chosen to spend the winter in the area this year. Fortunately it has been a quite warm winter so far.

Ich find euch beide grad echt cool und bewundere euer Durchhaltevermögen. 😱

Eeewww. Das ist ja grauselig. Ich wär geflohen. 😖

Picture of the head of a crow, holding a peanut in their beak.

"Peanutfhhh."

Photograph of a Carrion crow (medium sized black bird with strong beak, upper 2/3 of body visible) sitting on a windowsill, looking towards the camera, having a tiny snowflake a bit below and behind where its ear would be.

Same crow but whole bird visible, standing sideways.

Today's Corvid couture: Frost-chic accessories! Subtly striking snowflake clip. Can be worn as earrings, hair accessory, brooch... looks great on any other bird with a preference for dark attire.

Yes, please! It's needed.

... once again that hunting associations and hunting licenses are often enough cover for illegal activities, and need to be watched more closely. While it is heartbreaking what happened to poor Puck, this is a great success for the fight against illegal poaching. (3/3)

The poacher shot the bird and then disposed of it somewhere else, trying to hide his crime. But GPS history helped to reconstruct what happened, and the weapon was identified after a house search. Hopefully poachers feel less safe now and think twice. It also displays (2/3)

The poacher, who has illegally shot Northern bald ibis "Puck" has been identified. The member of an Italian hunting association has lost his licence and is facing charges, both civilian and for the crime against a protected species. (1/3) #birds #waldrapp #baldibis

Vermutlich möchten die die Täubchen. Einer ist da auch ansässig. Aber neulich hab ich 5 auf einmal zusammen in der Luft gesehen. Und ich dachte die Kollegin bindet mir en Bären auf. Und seit letzter Woche seh ich einen jeden Morgen in die gleiche Richtung tief über die Straße und Häuser fliegen.

I learned a few Welsh words once (without any connection to Wales whatsoever), I love that the photographs come with Welsh words! Thank you!

Tannenmeise und Sperber hab ich bisher nur je einmal gesehen. Ich hatte neulich einen Kernbeißer auf dem Baum vor dem Fenster, ich war echt total baff... der erste den ich überhaupt in DE gesehen hab und der zweite überhaupt. 😱 Im Moment seh ich überraschend häufig Bussarde, innerorts.

Awww. Hübsches Goldiges!

Ok, folgendes: Es sind 66 Bilder (aus 940 geschossenen), die ich euch theoretisch zeigen würde. Also doch recht viele. Also machen wir es wie beim letzten Mal, Mitmachskeet! Like und Druko und du kriegst zufällig eins der Bilder zugeordnet. Mal schauen ob sich 66 Leute finden.

Bitte 1 birb! 🐦🥹 Ich brauch' grad viel Aufmunterung. Eichhörnchen nehm' ich auch.

Wahnsinn 🥰😭 So viele. Ich bin neidisch.

A grey and black hooded crow is standing in a small puddle surrounded by slushy snow. A commuting human is walking past against the city lights in the background.

So geht das schon den ganzen Winter. "Kälteeinbruch! Riesige Schneewalze kommt auf uns zu!" Ich frag mich immer wo das bleibt... und dann neulich komplett ohne Ankündigung: Sturm mit Orkanböen und eimerweise Eiswasser. Es war grausam. Der Mantel (war auch neu imprägniert) hat's nicht geschafft. 😭🥶

Morning. Happy New Year.
A while ago I ran a series of daily tweets about birdsong. The idea was to encourage people to pay attention to the natural sounds around them, and learn to identify birds from their sounds alone (which, after all, is often the only clue you get to their presence).
