This is for all the Magpie lovers out there .... and, those of you who have never seen one in real life...or who have trouble tracking one down for a photo op.... they photo bomb plenty of pics of the little birdies 'round these parts..... they are real rascals!
But, they are also a lot of fun.
Check out this guy.
He saw the Flicker hanging out on the new suet feeder and figured .. what the hey... I'll butt right in and have a go at that great smelling stuff. (It's got peanut butter and bugs.)
He landed in the Hawthorn tree right beside the Flicker and got his wish. The Flicker didn't like being watched and left.
"Now, let me see..... how did he do this?" ... "Open sesame" .....
"Nope... not the right password I guess"...
"Maybe this side"..
"Damn tail....keeps slipping off the rest"....
"Okay then..... .. how about some mid air strikes?".....
"Brother.... this is a lot of effort".... I'm not exactly a hummingbird"...
"Hovering is tricky with this bulk" ....
"Whew..... that's enough. Maybe I'll just check under it now to see if I managed to knock off a few bits" ....
"What the ...? ... not even a crumb? .... man, this is way too much effort" ..
"I give up ... maybe I'll just hang out and wait for the messy sparrows to drop some seeds on the ground instead"...... sigh.................................................
"Hey guys?... ... where are ya? ...... c'mon I'll let you use the seed feeder .. honest. I'm definitely not going to try for seeds.... that'd be even sillier than the suet feeder"....... please? .... I'll be good. I promise. Come back".
