I don't know about you----but my backyard birds talk to me!!!! Recently, I asked them to list their favorite songs. SO---here they are just for you!!!! Above, one of our Brown Thrashers told me his favorite song. Since he and his lady just had 3 new babies, he said that his favorite song is ROCK A BYE BABY. Appropriate, don't you think???? Below are others.
Mourning Dove: HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN
Mama Robin and baby: WHEN THE RED, RED ROBIN COMES BOB-BOB-BOBBIN' ALONG
A young House Finch (I think): THANK GOD, I'M A COUNTRY BOY
female Goldfinch: AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH
Some kind of Wren (????): BORN TO BE WILD
Mourning Dove: TIP TOE THROUGH THE TULIPS
male Goldfinch: SHE GOT THE RING, AND I GOT THE FINGER
young Tufted Titmouse: SHAKE YOUR BOOTY
male Cardinal: IF MY NOSE WERE FULL OF NICKELS, I'D BLOW IT ALL ON YOU
Mourning Dove at the birdbath: SITTIN' ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY
baby Cardinal: WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN' GOIN' ON
baby Mourning Dove: MAMA, GET THE HAMMER (THERE'S A FLY ON PAPA'S HEAD)
My birds have quite a sense of humor, don't they????? ha ha ha.... Hope you enjoyed hearing about their favorite songs!!!!!!
Hugs,

LOL! That was fun :)
I've never seen a mourning dove before. It looks like its head is too small for its body.
Cutest post I've seen in a long time...and I love the pictures, they're greaat!!!
Funny and clever post Betsy!
Really funny!
Really cute post Betsy with great shots. Was that wren "mooning" you?
You have so many birds in your back yard! We haven't filled our feeders lately. I think we need to get some more seed.
LOL Betsy!! Such cute photos and I love the songs!!! Fun post to read before having to do dreaded office work!
Very clever. I'm going to have to listen more carefully to my birds.
Your birds are quite talented Betsy! I loved all the pictures.

I LOVE the Born to Be Wild wren!! Too funny!!
Very imaginative...and cute post!
The picture of the momma and baby robin reminded me of a book I used to read to my children about Itty Bitty Robin--a baby robin who was afraid to fly. The momma kept saying, "Fwy, Baby, Fwy."
Thanks for the good memories.
Ha ha, Betsy, birds are the funniest people aren't they? My favorite image is the last one of the dove, but I also love "Tip Toe Through the Tulips!" Well done :)
The dove sitting on the dock of the bay looks a lil tipsy!! LOL! Hilarious!
This is toooo funny!

Good one!!!
Oh, Betsy, I will never look at birds the same again...I will be listening for their song and thinking of you.
You had me in stitches. What station do your birds listen to??? I need to hear some of those songs, too!!
This is a really a funny post, Betsy. Your birds have some AMAZINGLY funny songs, especially Mama Get the Hammer..........You live in a very interesting world.
Wow - you have lots of birds. Great post.
I'm still smiling as I type. Hilarious post. All the songs just seemed to go with the photos so well. How the heck is that dove sitting? Never saw anything like that!
Your birds and you certainly have a great sense of humor.Laughter is good for the soul.
Blessings,Ruth
Oh what a fun post! You made me laugh!! "Sittin on the dock of the bay" - gets my vote for favourite. Followed closely by "shake your booty" and "tiptoe through the tulips!" LOL!!
I love, love, love your rose in your header!! Happy Summer!
Betsy, what a great post. All of the birds are just adorable, I love the last little mourning dove. My favorite is Tip Toe Throught the Tulips, too funny.
Like someone said above, I'm not sure if I will ever look at birds the same again.
Hugs,

Great songs to go with each photo. I really like the baby cardinal photo. Don't seem to see them at that stage.

Very cute pictures. And, to asit them perfectly you've written some nice oneliners... great post. Enjoyed reading very much!
Betsy: Those were some great song and your birds can certainly carry a tune.
What an imagination you have :-) LOL! Thanks for the smile. Now...why are your birds laying around with their wings spread...the wren and the titmouse? Love the baby robin! You have some great bird shots here. Seems like forever since I photograhed any birds.
Oh, too cute, Betsy. I have to admit I've never heard "If I had I nose full of nickles, I'd blow it all on you." Mercy, mercy, me! :)
Really good birdy photos!
