SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - 1-3-25 - OH NO, YOU DIDN'T!

 








Mr. House Finch recognizes that he is a silly bird and is going to keep his beak shut next time. I told the same thing to Mr. Chipmunk years ago, when Mrs. Chipmunk took a bite out of his tail when he answered the same question. Birds just need to be a little more diplomatic. Beaks must remain closed. "It's a trap Admiral Akbar, it's a trap!" At least that's what Camera Man says to Camera Lady when she asks him questions that he doesn't think he should answer. Family joke! This hasn't come up in a very long time but...


Mrs. Dark-eyed Junco agrees, Mr. House Finch needs to be more diplomatic. Mr. Dark-eyed Junco already learned this over many years. 

And so it goes on another Saturday Morning at the Bird feeder, where we want to wish you all a very happy weekend and to thank you for visiting today.

  8. The smart Mr.'s know when to not answer questions. Not all Mr.'s are smart though.

  9. Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy and healthy New Year, Denise! Haha ... seems like a bird feeder is much like a water cooler is to humans who chatter. :)

  10. I am happy to hear that it is the male birds that don't think before they answer that question, just like human males who suffer the same problem. I love that first shot of the black bird, looks like dressed for a party... I just see Ann says not all Mr's are smart enough, and I disagree, that there are no smart men who will keep their mouths shut when asked that question

  18. Juncos are such an elegant little bird. Just seems they would naturally not be rude. ;)

  19. Ah, the age-old wisdom of beak diplomacy! Mr. House Finch should consider himself lucky—at least his tail is intact. I suppose Mr. Chipmunk learned the hard way that some questions are best left unanswered. Admirable restraint, Mr. House Finch
