Spring Birds' Feeding Frenzy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- This feeding frenzy explodes in a kaleidoscope of colorful, melodic spring birds, featuring baltimore orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, gorgeous red-headed woodpeckers, and red-bellied also. The cardinal, northern flicker and the majestic pileated woodpecker also star as well as american goldfinches, house finches, hairy and downy woodpeckers, catbirds and several other species as they contend for a spot on my sunflower, suet, nyjer seed, and grape jam oriole feeders trying to establish a "pecking order." Please see also my companion video, "Winter Birds' Feeding Frenzy (Cats LOVE It!)" • Winter Birds' Feeding ...
OMG this looks like paradise .If this wasn't RUclips I would thought this is heaven, so many gorgeous birds and peaceful.

Very nice play-by-play and color commentary both! Job well done! Thank you.
Very beautiful. I’ve never seen so many colorful variety of birds around feeders before. This is like a secret magic garden.
Thanks so much, Leigh Ann, for your very kind comments! Made my day! I moved the feeders in close to try to capture a little closer view on what I had been watching, and thankfully the birds didn't frighten each other away. If I had known the squirrel was going to make an appearance I would have adjusted for it. I love your wonderful description, "secret magic garden."
I saw at least five woodpecker species in this video. Wow! I wish I could attract that many woodpeckers. And orioles, too.
Thanks Brianna. I am blessed with lots of woodpeckers. Try using suet for them and grape jelly for orioles if they summer in your area. Good luck!
What an incredible variety. This might be the record for so many species in one spot at one time or a short span. That is a gorgeous view and you know what it takes to make that view happen. Bravo!
Thank you so much, Whistles, for another very kind comment, and Bravo! for your excellent observations! You made my day! You obviously know what it takes also, as I see from some of your awesome videos! Keep up the great work.
Great yard!
Thanks so much!
What a wonderful selection of birds! I particularly like the Red Headed Woodpecker 😍.
Thank you, Kristina, for watching, and for your kind comments! I love the Red Headed Woodpecker also. I'm always thrilled when they come in to my feeders. I drop what I'm doing and watch them devotedly.😊
Wonderful visitors to have at your feeders, an array of sizes, colours and songs. Thank you for sharing this lovely video, it was such a joy to watch, and to see so many birds we don't have here in the UK. Best wishes, Sue :-)
Thank you so much for your very kind comment, Sue. I feel the same about the many beautiful birds you have in the UK, that we don't have in the U.S. I guess we can continue to share our birds with each other :-)
Yes...It certainly was a feeding frenzy!
And such a variety of birds, as well.
Apparently they liked the combination of food you put out for them.
Hope things are going well for you. Best wishes!
Thanks for your kind comments. So glad you liked it. Doing well and I pray the same for you. Blessings :--)
May I add that your ferns are Gorgeous!
Thanks, Julie. My wife gets credit for that.
Looks like your feeding station is an overwhelming success!
Thanks for your kind comments!
I just found this video and absolutely LOVED it!!! Played it a second time for my husband! We watched your winter version as well. We're in awe over the beautiful varieties you have...I just began posting some of my own videos of birds a few months ago. (still learning how to use my camera!!) Would love for you to take a look! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous videos!!
You're more than welcome, and thank you so much for your very kind comments. I have realized over time how very blessed I am to have such colorful avian beauties frequenting my feeders. I placed them all close together to try to capture this variety, hoping they would all still come. I feared they would be afraid of each other, but happily they rendezvoused together. I will take a look at your posts, and good luck on your birds.
CUTE SQUEAKY BIRDS!!!!😃 YOU JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE THEM,, I WOULDN'T,, BUT I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH😃😇💖🐣🐤🐥🐦
Thank you for your kind comment. It was heart-felt and I loved it.
creatorwise I'M A VERY LONELY PERSON, , I LOVE WILDLIFE AND ITS CREATOR GOD! !!! MY BEST FRIENDS ON PLANET EARTH 😃👍👑🐣🐦🐶🐱🐢🐇🐓🐔🐑🐄🐷🐸🐼🐧🐗🐘🐨🐒🐆🐯🐻🐫🐊🐋🐟🐠🐡🐙🐝🐞🌎
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes, our Creator God has created a beautiful and complex array of wildlife. Stop by often to enjoy our avian beauties.
creatorwise YES I WILL DO,, THANKYOU 😇👍🐣🐦
Beautiful. You have a great spot there, lots of natural cover for the birds. And you offer so many different kinds of food, as far as I could see, you have all types of birdies! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
You're welcome and thanks for your kind comments. Yes, I still can't believe how blessed I am to have such a colorful variety of beautiful songbirds. I even enjoy just listening to them.
They have beautiful surroundings!!!
Thanks, Yolanda, for watching and commenting.
This is so lovely! I'm so glad I found this video. Thank you :)
You're welcome and thank you for your lovely comment. Made my day :)
Incredible, spectacular, better than watching television, or anything.
Thank you Ginny2708, for your very kind comments! So glad you liked my spring birds. You made my day!
I cannot believe how many different types of birds you get on your feeder at the same time. Wow, am I jealous! What a great video.
Thanks, John W, for your kind comment. I can't believe it either. It's so awesome to look out my patio door at almost any time, in the spring, and see such a colorful diversity of avian beauty. Of course when watching this video you get an up close and personal view that's better than my view. So stop by often; I'm happy to share them.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤beautiful and so very precious 💖
Thank you for the beautiful and very precious comment and loves, shana!!!
@@creatorwise you are so very welcome ❤️
Amazing video and so beatyful 😊
Won't be long before the plant growth gets filled back up again, now!🌞🌱! I thought you had meal worms in the one feeder, but I read nyjer. I have 2 songbird feeders, Finch sock, Oriole feeder and hummingbird. Thinking of trying meal worms this year. I want the Suet feeder again, but the darn squirrels. I saw a Suet feeder for $40 at the bird store. Heavy duty, with Lock! Lol. One way to keep them from stealing it if you have that kind of money to throw! 😄 Happy Birding! 🐦
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, Gina! And for loving our birds! Made my day! Good luck on trying meal worms. I have read they attract bluebirds! It sound like you have a great setup for feeding birds (and squirrels. Lol). I've had problems with squirrels and raccoons. Happy Birding to you also, my "Friend" indeed.
This is so great..Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven :))
You are so welcome, and thank you for your kind comment!
Your videos are amazing! Even captured the attention of my 11 month old grandson! He just loves birds, like his Grammy NaiNai (me)! Keep them coming please.
Thanks so much for your very kind comments. I'm glad your grandson loves birds also. He may win the "prize" for the youngest watcher. Stop by often.
Amazing and beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!
You're welcome, and thank you for your kind comment.
I could watch this all day it's great,thank you.!!👍
You're welcome and thank you for the kind comment. Made my day!
@@creatorwise l'am a bird lover too.🐦
Another great piece of film.There's so much activity, it's impossible to focus on any one bird.We don't have this species of Woodpecker,(Red Headed?,)and the species near the end,(Black Woodpecker ?,) looked positively prehistoric.Once again,what a place! PS.When l was a kid,l managed to pick up a book at a Jumble Sale, would you believe it, this book turned out to be one of the most important books ever published,(although I certainly didn't know it at the time, namely,The Book Of Rarer British!!? Birds,by PAD Hollom,l still have it! In that book was a bird called a Rose Breasted Grosbeak,it was, and still is, one of my favourite birds,so to see it here in this film is fantastic.
Thanks so much, Mick, for more excellent comments. I thought you would enjoy this kaleidoscope of color. Yes, the Red-headed Woodpecker was the one that looked like it was wearing a red hood completely covering its head. The large woodpecker at the end was the Pileated. It strongly resembles the extinct, prehistoric Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. The Rose-breasted Grosbeak is one of my favorite birds also. So glad you got to see them. I have several vids featuring them. Blessings.
Just great! Think it is one step below a Frenzy though. Now your winter vid with one spinning feeder, that's a frenzy!
You're right Karl, calling it a frenzy was a bit of a stretch, but I'm glad you weren't disappointed. Thanks.
Awesome red-headed wp and tons of other great shots! gotta love spring!
Yes, I love that deep red. It's unlike any other red in birds. Thanks for your kind comments..
Great video..I love the Red-Headed Woodpecker.. we are trying to attract then to our yard. 🙋🐦
Thanks so much. Yes, he is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know of anything special we did to attract them. They do love the suet.
Love the birds there amazing
They certainly are. I can't believe how blessed I am to have them. I just wanted to share them, and so glad you love them.
Seriously where do u live. What a glorious collection on your feeders.
Amazing
I live in southern Indiana. Had no idea there was such a colorful variety of avian beauties around when I first started feeding them about 10 years ago. I finally realized how blessed I am. Thanks for your kind comments. I appreciate them.
TREMENDOUS VARIETY
Thanks for sharing. I love watching birds. I have to keep my feeder, suet and water under carport because the hawks are so bad, here, in MD. I have a big tree and bushes right near by, too to help hide the birds. Plus, the neighbors let their cats out. I have 4 kitties, but they are indoor and love to watch. the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and bunnies that eat the seed, etc. that falls from the feeder. : )
You're welcome, leeann, and thank you for your kind comments. Sorry for your hawk and neighbor cat problems, but you seem to have worked around it okay. We rarely have hawks around, but we once heard an unusual sound, turned around and saw feathers floating down, and then located the hawk in our neighbor's yard, devouring a mourning dove :(
leeann cornell We have many varieties of hawks here in PA. The crows and bigger birds are adept at chasing them off. There may be 5-6 birds at a time chasing a hawk while hes screaming and screeching at the attack. Its cool to watch. Fortunately, we havent had any casualties yet...from house cats (I keep mine inside too) or the hawks.
Thank you for the video. I don't know where you live but what a fantastic variety of birds. The Red-headed WP was stunning and I also enjoyed the Rose-breasted Grosbeak. I selected this video because my cat is OCD about watching bird videos in the morning! I am just OCD about watching birds but usually prefer to do it for real.
I live in south central Indiana, near Columbus. I'm glad you and your cat enjoy the video. Thanks for your kind comments. The 2 birds you mentioned are my favorites. I think you (and your cat) would also enjoy my Winter Birds' Feeding Frenzy. It's even more frenzied and features the colorful Cardinal and Blue Jay.
now only if the ivory billed woodpecker was too show up you would be famous..lol
so many pretty birdies :)
That's amazing!
Spectacular!
Wooaa it's feel like heaven
Thanks so much for your nice comment. Made my day.
HEAVENLY
Thanks for your kind comments.
congratulations for this video,i love birds and I really like your film.🐦
Thanks so much, Vivi, for watching and commenting. I'm glad you liked it.
I believe I am seeing either some White Throated or White Crowned Sparrows aside from the obvious House (English) Sparrow.
you very lucky to have so many lovely birds in your country, back here in the uk barely any, i think i saw 5 species of woodpecker alone
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment. Yes I do realize I am very lucky and blessed. Happy to share "my" birds with you. Stop by often.
lovely!
Lovely video🐦🐦🐦🐦
Beautiful video!
Stunning video !!! Enjoyed it :)))
And thank you again so much for another nice comment, Alexandra!
Anytime :)))
The red headed woodpecker and the Oriole were impressive. I saw a yellow shafted flicker !! He is so big! So beautiful! The woodpeckers do best at the hanging suet. The tray feeding is awkward for them. What was the bright yellow bird feeding at the far left?
Wow I’m just amazed at every single bird you have at your feeder’s! It’s like a bird library every bird I can think of is eating at your house! It’s almost like you Photoshoped everything but I know it’s not
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, I am incredibly blessed to have this great variety of colorful birds. I moved the feeders in close to each other to try to get them all in view of my camera, and I was afraid the birds would scare each other away. But, as you can see they did fine.
Orderly chaos. 😊
Succinctly stated. Thanks.
actually iam looking relaxing birds sounds video for release my stress after my work accidently im find this beautiful video birds ,,thks for brilliant ideas n sharing on youtube,,thks you very much i like the video,,2017
NICE...
What kind of Suet are you using? I am SO jealous that you have a Red Headed Woodpecker and a Pileated !!!!! Very nice selection of birds !!
I'm using Suet Plus by St. Albans Bay. Use mostly their Sunflower Blend and Peanut Blend. Rural King sells them for .69 a cake here in south central Indiana. I do feel very blessed to have both of these woodpeckers. Can't take my eyes off them when they're feeding. Happy to share them with you...stop by often to enjoy them.
Loved it. But the birds in my backyard are a little hesitant about my feeders.
Thank you for your kind comment. Give them time and be patient. They will eventually get bolder and come around more often.
U must live in the forest. Haha thank you for sharing
I do live next to a small woodlot. Along with the birds, I get lots of critters: raccoons, possums, skunks, squirrels, chipmunks, moles, etc.
A red headed woodpecker...those are so rare here in central Wisconsin.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes I love the red-headed w.p. They are not too common around southern Indiana either. Haven't seen one for months. Then they show up for a few weeks at a time. Check out my Wisconsin morel huntings vids, if you like shroomin'.
What a fantastic restaurant. I think I need to pull together a bird bucket list, as have never seen a cardinal - adorable. We don't get them in New Zealand - in fact the only familiar one in this vid is the sparrow.
Thanks for your kind comments. What a clever idea: a "bird bucket list." Yes, we love our cardinals, and many other colorful birds. I'm sure you have some beautiful birds in N.Z. that we don't have in the U.S. I would love to just visit N.Z.
gods creation in plein sight
Thanks for watching and for giving the Creator credit!
everytime when a byrd start sining he praises god
wow!
absolutely stunning to watch thank you
may I ask where you live just curious because you have such a large variety of birds
You're welcome, and thank you for watching. I live in south central Indiana, near Columbus. When I started feeding the birds 10 years ago I had no clue of the large variety of colorful avian beauties in this area.
Great video!!! Where are you located? If I had to guess I would say in the Northeast? You have an amazing diversity of species! I am in Maryland and although they are in my range I rarely see the Orchard or Baltimore Orioles, Redheaded Wood Peckers, Rose Breasted Grosbeaks in my woods or at my feeders. I am very envious! Keep the videos coming - loved your winter video too! Nice work!
Thanks so much for your very nice comments. I'm in south central Indiana, near Columbus. Yes, I am incredibly blessed to have such a great variety of avian beauties, and I'm happy to share them with you. Surprised to hear that Maryland, of all states, would be lacking in Baltimore Orioles (I assume that's how they got their name). Stop by often to enjoy.
Where may I ask is this taken? I've never seen so much diversity of birds in one place
In south central Indiana, near Columbus. Yes, I remain amazed myself that I am so incredibly blessed. Thanks.
Thank you. Looks like a piece of heaven right here on earth, I am a wildlife artist who works in stone, wood and metals. Of late, I have been doing bird carvings in pine and painting them. So it is invaluable for me to see how they move and look in the light at certain angles. Birds and butterflies and even some of the beetles are God's gift of living jewels for us to appreciate and awe over.
You're welcome and thank you for your wonderful comment. I heartily concur they are "God's gift of living jewels." Very well said.
Who's the little onlooker, standing on the wire 1:30 Is it a bushtit ?
I think it's a white-crowned sparrow. We don't have bushtits here in Indiana. Thanks for noticing it. I had completely overlooked it.
A family of flickers decided to clean out my neighbor's gutter - through the metal.
That is just horrible! Thanks for the warning, Annah, I will keep my eyes (and ears) open!
@@creatorwise It was merely noisy and damaged the gutter a bit but the flickers retired to the soil and tons of bugs.
@@annahkurtin9665 "Retired to the soil"? Is that a nice way of saying, you "buried" them? LOL. I'm sure your neighbor felt like doing that. I did have some pileated woodpeckers do some serious damage to a 4 x 4 decorative post, digging out some wood borer bees, which had already done some serious damage themselves. I couldn't figure out who to root for. LOL.
@@creatorwise The little darlings gave themselves headaches driving their beaks into metal so the went for the abundant bug life in Orlando.
.42 seconds does anyone know what kind of bird on far left black w/ orange chest?
Baltimore Oriole?
Yes, that is a male Baltimore Oriole. Thanks for watching.
Pretty hard to attract Pilated woodpecker
Really enjoyed the wood pecker. They are rare around my area. Do you know any suet feed that doesn't spoil quickly in the summer?
I use St. Albans Bay Suet Plus in the Woodpecker Blend and the Sunflower Seed blend. I think the birds eat it so fast it doesn't have time to spoil. Thanks for watching.
ooh can someone list all the different birds seen in the video
Thanks for watching, Marcy! Click "Show More" in the description for a list of all the different birds. But it would be very difficult to list them in the order of their appearance. The orange and black birds are baltimore orioles; yellow and black, goldfinches; black and white with pink/red V on breast are rose-breasted grosbeaks. The large woodpecker at the end is the pileated. Any others you wish to ID, just describe and put what time they appear and I will try to ID them.
Have you ever tried attracting bluebirds do you have any open area to put up a bluebird house?
I have seen bluebirds at my birdbath twice, but have never tried attracting them, nor do I have much open area for a bluebird house. I hear they love mealworms.
Do you keep food out year round? I've only been putting out food in the fall and winter.
This year I skipped sunflower seed and nyjer seed in the summer and most of fall, because the house finches and sparrows had taken over. I started feeding birds again when the weather turned colder and snowy. Will probably continue through spring because of the colorful variety of birds that visit as seen in this vid. Thanks for watching.
I put up a bird feeder and the birds won't go to it :( I've been ground feeding them.
Try some black oil sunflower seed, and be patient. They will eventually come.
Do the grosbeaks and orioles stay all spring and summer long or do they pass through? Mine stay a few weeks but don't return with their fledglings as much as I hope. Orioles this past spring stayed into early july. which is the longest they ever stayed. usually they come through for two weeks or so. We have an abundance of goldfinches but they are scarce from november to he end of february.
Yes, they both stay all spring and summer long, usually leaving in late August. I am very fortunate to have them that long.
I think I see a White-Crowned Sparrow in the video not mention in your description?
You may be right. I just saw one recently, so we do have them. Thanks for watching.
Is there a way to prevent house finches from gorging on the grape jelly in oriole feeders? I have the same oriole feeder and a gang of house finches tend to finish it by mid-day, with the poor orioles nearly licking it clean by sundown.
I have been wondering the same thing! They seem to multiply so fast and take over. My orioles seem to be able to fend for themselves, but I replace the jelly twice a day and still it's empty some of the time.
Well the house finches aren't so bad, I suppose. They have cute personalities and a nice bird song. It's funny, the female hooded orioles seem to be only interested in the nectar, whereas the male orioles are the opposite.
I'll take whatever colorful bird I can get in the big city. I'm glad to live in a neighborhood with many trees and maintained gardens, even if it is a few steps away from The Concrete Jungle.
Where are you located? Never in my life have I seen so many of the elusive Woodpeckers and flicker. You're so lucky. And BTW, what kind of suet are you feeding?
South central Indiana. Yes, I do realize how fortunate and blessed I am. I never realized all these colorful songbirds and woodpeckers were all around me until I started feeding them. The suet is "Suet Plus" by St. Albans Bay. They make several blends: Sunflower Blend, Woodpecker Blend, Peanut Blend, and Nuts & Berry. All work well. If you have a Rural King store in your area, they probably carry them. Very economical. Just $0.69 each.
creatorwise I watched this video like 3 times, and what I wouldn't give to just get a Pileated to my yard. I know I'll never see the red headed as they are rare here, but u live in what I would call Heaven. I'm so jealous :)
Thanks so much for your kind comments. I'm glad you liked it. One commenter called it a "slice of heaven." I'm happy to share my birds with you, so stop by often and enjoy "our" birds.
5:06 if you are going to get on the sunflower feeder do it now goldfinch.
LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting.
how beautiful, where is this
Thanks, Jon. This is in south central Indiana, near Columbus.
I would like to attract orioles here to my feeder outside of Toronto. any tips for those?
Grape jelly, and orange halves. Buy a Birds' Choice Oriole Fest Oriole Feeder, on Amazon.
thanks
I’m trying to get orioles with sliced oranges, and got a really big suet to try to get a red headed or red bellied woodpecker. I haven’t had much success with them though Bc I don’t live in a forest like u. I live in a suburban neighborhood, but there is a forest not too far in front of our house. We haven’t had any orioles so far, we have never seen a red headed woodpecker ever, and we only saw the red bellied woodpecker once. The suet is mostly eaten by downy woodpeckers, but common birds such as finches and sparrows. Are they living in the forest near me, or did I just get lucky? Edit: I also wanna get Indigo Buntings and Scarlet Tanagers to my feeders as well. I live in southeastern Wisconsin, so I know they are in my area. Have u ever had any success getting these birds to ur feeder? Or do u know the best way to get them to come? I’d really appreciate ur feedback!
I tried oranges for Baltimore orioles, but they didn't work as well grape jelly or jam. Check out my video showing how much they love grape jelly: ruclips.net/video/7FDJ9pXTDWk/видео.html I think the birds are probably coming from your nearby forest. I used to see Indigo Buntings in late April, but haven't seen any for 10 years now. I've only seen one scarlet tanager. My birdbook says they feed on insects and fruit. You might search for videos of them on RUclips, and ask the ones who posted. Or try Google for more info. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
@creatorwise it’s funny Bc even since I made that comment, I’ve had the red bellied woodpecker coming frequently now, so I’m pretty sure he lives nearby. I also got to see the Baltimore Oriole for a split second, but I got too excited when I pointed it out to my parents, and I ended up scaring him away☹️. But I’m hoping he comes back. But yeah, I’ll have to try that jam method sometime as well. Thanks for ur feedback!
What bird is on the suet feeder at 5:44? Ty, a joy to watch.
You're welcome and thanks for watching. Some type of sparrow is on the suet feeder. A male baltimore oriole flies in to the orange feeder at that time. On the gazebo sunflower seed feeder are rosebreasted grosbeaks, both male and female. A goldfinch can be partially seen on the thistle seed sock.
Wow - where is this? How many acres? Abut forest?
Thanks for watching. South central Indiana in my small backyard. The adjoining woodlot is less than 100 yards wide and about 1/2 mile long, bordering a river. When I started feeding birds, I had no idea there was such a large variety of avian beauties around: over 60 species. I remain amazed, blessed and very grateful.
P. S. What are you feeding in the octagon shaped feeder?
Black-oil sunflower seed.
How can i get these kind of bird that i can make one like this
Find a Field Guide for Birds for your area to see what types of birds may be near. Then use the various bird food recommended, such as black oil sunflower seed, suet cakes, nyjer seed, grape jelly, etc. You could also try Google.
What is in that red feeder?
Birds Choice 1009 Oriole-Fest Oriole Feeder, 12-Ounce, Orange on Amazon for $27.10. It holds grape jam/jelly in the 4 ports and sugar water also. As you can see, a lot of birds love the grape jam/Jelly.
My landlady doesn’t understand the concept that different birds eat differently via ground or feeders. We spent 1000 $ attracting, squirrels, and birds, and then she said only 2 suet. I feel so bad as the squirrels had 2 litter season, because they love no mess peanuts, so beautiful to see such variety, we have sparrows, flickers, Downey’s, chickadees, I moving if she will not let me feed the animals threw winter, I’m pissed.. selfish person she is.
Thank you, Wanda, for your kind comments, and I am so sorry for you. That is horrible. I have an idea for you to try. Shower your landlady with love and kindness by inviting her over for a meal or some refreshments. Then while she's in a good mood, show her this video or a similar one with lots of color and variety. Then tell her that is your desire to have a similar bird "sanctuary." It might just work. As a last resort, tell her that your friend, creatorwise, who posted this vid, is hoping and praying that she will reconsider and befriend you and the beautiful birds :)
You must keep these stocked - looks like a MUST-SEE stop for migrants, and everyone knows it!!
Thanks for your on target comments. Yes, once our avian migrants stop by, most of them decide to stay. LOL. It can get a little expensive, but we love them. They provide many hours of joyous entertainment. We never tire of watching them.
what kind of bird is the one that lands on sec 32? is it a redwing blackbird female?
That is a female rose-breasted grosbeak, very similar to the female redwing bb. Unbelievable, the huge difference between the male and female rose-breasted. The male is on the right side of the same sunflower seed feeder at the same time. Thanks for watching!
Just curious how do you get the greedy pigeons and crackles away from your feeders?
I chase the grackles away by going to my patio door, opening it, and clapping or yelling. After several times they stay away for quite some time. I don't have pigeons, but the mourning doves are similar but smaller. They feed mostly on the ground and it doesn't bother me. There aren't that many.
What is the red headed bird that comes in a 0:40 ? He has a white breast, and a mostly black back.
That is a red-headed woodpecker, Walter. One of my favorite birds. Thanks for watching.
So five different woodpeckers? Red headed, red bellied, pileated, downy, and northern flicker?
In our area in Indiana, we have those five plus one more: the hairy woodpecker which is very similar to the downy, but larger. ruclips.net/video/0DmUsRmfqOg/видео.html
We play this for our pet lovebird all the time, she's crazy about it.
Wonderful! If you can capture her watching on video, and upload it, I would love to see it.
i have suggestion for you better you recording the all birds sound than make it relaxing video lile a people do on youtube so many relaxing video,,,2017
Thank you so much for the nice suggestion, and also for watching. Blessings!
thks you,,i love bird,,,,
What is the bird with a bright red head?
Melissa Walker red headed woodpecker
This is the red-headed woodpecker. I think you might enjoy my video featuring it: ruclips.net/video/qgvVj8V-6fQ/видео.html
Thank you for responding. I guess I was fooled because it didn't resemble Woody Woodpecker. LOL
Thank you for responding. I will definitely check it out. Simply stunning!
LOL. Yes, Melissa, and some of my commenters think that Woody Woodpecker was modeled after the Pileated Woodpecker which also has a cameo in this video.
What is the woodpecker eating?
This is a suet cake. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you very much. I have a few blue woodpeckers in my yard every day and I want to feed them. They are beautiful. I will be stopping by again. I really loved watching all those birds.
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Good luck with feeding your woodpeckers.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy your birdwatching.
