Excellent!
Do you do time lapse on them?

Mountain Jays are nesting in our patio umbrella outside the second story living room. I set up the Canon EOS M5 and a telephoto on a tripod in the living room.

Thanks No time lapse. Didn't even think about it in the beginning.

Cute!

Thanks for the nice comments. The other nest was attacked by Ravens and all was lost. The patio umbrella provides visual shelter from predators, so these guys should do well.

Here's a very poor Sulphur Crested Cockatoo that my wife loves to feed.

As it's winter here in Oz, he must be getting pretty cold.

 

[Jack Douglas]

So who's doing the plucking; the bird himself?

[Bennymiata]

I think he was attacked by other cockatoos, or he has a disease called twisted beak.
I can't tell which, but his beak is very misshapen.
About the only thing he wants to eat is sunflower seeds that have been shelled. With his beak, he finds it hard to snap the shells off the normal seeds.
However, he is improving and his feathers are slowly growing back.

Hope you guys don't mind a little pink, but the spoonbills are visiting.
Where I live, we don't see them in the winter - but they do hang around from June until Sept.

Just out at the side of the house shooting a wasp trying to drag a spider into a gap and I caught this bird, a Carolina wren, a favorite of mine, its song is lovely.

+1 And you're right about the sounds of probably all the wrens.
