Regular visitors to my balcony birdfeeders:
Fierce. Angry (and tiny – where does he keep his rage?). No conception of sharing, even with fellows of its own kind.
Will throw hands (wings) if necessary but won't bully other birds. Waits in line for the feeders to free up.
Extremely polite fellow. Peers up from below to check the coast is clear. Leaps excitedly on every seed.
Hugelarge. Will gobble up all available peanuts in 0.003 seconds unless shooed away.
Here for the nuts (duh). Examines each one carefully, carrying his preferred one around until he's sure it's the one.
Comes to the balcony to watch, but doesn't visit any of the feeders. Supervisor behaviour.
Graceful when hanging off the side of the fence, absolute doofus when gripping on to the (too small, round) feeder for dear life.
Both skittish and a bully. Will devour everything if allowed. She knows now to fly past and look through the window to see if I'm here before bothering, because I will shoo her. Fear I am making an enemy.
