I have a soft spot for magpies, they are such cocky birds full of the joys of life, of course they are destructive of others, but they have their place in this world. Summer feed because there are so many young birds to feed, but I presume it makes them more reliant on handouts, not a good thing. thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-23827036184071586962015-07-20T07:18:39.804-07:002015-07-20T07:18:39.804-07:00Thanks folks.

We have started feeding the birds here but honest since we haven't had time to set up the feeders properly yet i've been more or less just feeding the squirrels and deer who also LOVE the birdseed. But i keep a bird bath going too and that brings in the birds as well... In CA i mostly had little birds that to be honest i wasn't sure what they were called... house finches, chickadees, sparrows?And a pair of lovely but greedy ScrubJays..... But here in Arkansas i have some bigger birds.... 2 lovely pairs of Cardinals, a pair of doves, 2 pairs of Bluebirds, various small birds... and one small bird that was such a brilliant blue i had to find out his name and i think he is an Indigo Bunting... gorgeous!

Magpies are generally despised because of their ripping apart long-tailed tit's nests to get at the chicks around here - or any other nests. They are just opportunists.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-7082035992819342762015-07-19T22:25:33.629-07:002015-07-19T22:25:33.629-07:00You're very lucky to have Tree Sparrows; they&...You're very lucky to have Tree Sparrows; they're very scarce indeed down here.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-59574225490322193352015-07-19T20:51:39.819-07:002015-07-19T20:51:39.819-07:00Am I the only person who likes Magpies?

Silly little things, they are among my favorites, right up with cheeky little chickadees, who sit inches away as we fill the feeders.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-53984088872092191962015-07-19T16:36:36.618-07:002015-07-19T16:36:36.618-07:00I still feed the birds in summer also, though they...I still feed the birds in summer also, though they don't come around as much. Wish they would eat those enormous tomato hornworms. I just pulled 5 off of my plants. Two plants are nearly denuded. Oh how I wish to have tasted that pannacotta.
