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 cute post, Betsy.

ReplyDeleteThe 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 :)
