Do you wanna see some birds? How about some of these?

The best known Tit is perhaps the Great Tit. Like most Tits this is a hole nesting bird. It often competes with the Blue Tit over the ownership of a good nesting hole.

ah, never mind...

I saw a flock of a dozen 'feral pigeons' in my back yard this morning. Actually they were 20 to 40 pound wild turkeys, near emu-sized birds just pecking away, milling about, pecking and milling and pecking some more. Then a neighbor's cat began to stalk them and they flew off.

There are two more Tits that frequent our garden. They are less colorful however.

Keep 'em coming, boys.

Very cute assortment of widdle birds. I kept breeding pairs of zebra finches in my apartment for many years. Noisy at times but pleasant company.

HTuttle - Better than breeding cats, I'd say.

Nice idea, but at 320x240, the images are hardly worth a gander.
