are cardinals supposed to be hostile?

also, i keep hearing magpies are aggressive but i never experienced it myself so im startin to wonder which magpies are supposed to be aggro?

Cardinals are hella territorial.

Also a lot of birds are way more timid in front of huge, dangerous beings than they are in front of their bird peers.

Although I did run into a couple of sparrows who were doing a whole "puff up and scare you" display at me once. Yes, little buddies, I'm absolutely shaking to death at little fuzzballs I could open palm slam to death if I were so inclined. :allears:

Their plans are pretty much ‘strip this tree of nectar while making making as much noise as birdly possible and be absolutely fabulous while doing it!’
We have a couple of pairs of Rainbow Lorikeets that have claimed the bottlebrush tree outside our balcony. All other birds are noisily chased off. When they are chill though, they have a lovely melodic coo and are pretty friendly. Once the tree has finished flowering (which it does twice, spring and summer) , they disappear and other birds move back in.
So we either get woken up by Lorikeets screeching or by Kookaburras laughing, Currawongs, Magpies and Butcherbirds singing.
Great photos of them, mine are all crappy iPhone pictures.

There's an eastern screech owl who by my apartment almost every night. He or she seemed to dig many of the videos from this thread, especially cockatiel videos. I couldn't find any looped videos of cockatiels whistling songs, so I looked up tin whistle music. There were at least 10 owls in the trees while I was playing it. The one with the super white belly perched especially close.

Then the neighborhood cat came to visit me and I thought it would be lovely to continue to lure the owls closer to me since he thinks they look delicious. All of the owls dispersed after a few minutes of no music.

yeah bird poop is not hard to manage at all.

birds are great but also just complete fuckwads too

like kids

Kids usually grow up and become fully functioning humans, though. I don't know, I'm more than happy to let birds roam free and watch them interact in their natural environment.
