I haven't seen any other birds there since the pigeons figured out my flower pots were filled with not flowers, but rainwater. Maybe they keep a close watch on their personal spa.

I am sorry to say I am tearing up laughing at your tale. The bird was okay and likely learned from his experience, though.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and blue tits nested in our mural mailbox. My brother and I, being kids, would open the mailbox door (inside the house) to peek at the babies. Anyway. Have you ever tried to catch an irate and terrified blue tit mama while she's frantically flying in a 2x2m hallway, so you can put her back in a large rectangular hole in the wall, this at one in the morning, while praying your mother won't wake up? Because I have.

Oh boy, you like to live dangerously. How did that go?

I'm doing the same (outside the window) with bird seed, so I'll sometimes enter my kitchen and find pigeons / collared doves staring at me. But they just stare and stare and then fly away. No war cries.

Blue tits are always the loudest, most annoyed birbs when I'm out. They'll alert constantly. Which makes them a lot easier to photograph.

I'm Belgian. A coworker tells me regularly how he he sees beavers in the woods near where he lives (and foxes in his backyard, the man has to be a Disney princess). I had no idea about the secret backstory of the Belgian beavers, but I am delighted it happened.

Nice shot! The framing is neat.

Also what is looking at? He certainly seems to disapprove of it.

We won’t report when there is domestic violence. If there is any words that come from the woman that [her] children were there, children are considered at risk and so they are taken.

I started listening to the “Unreserved” podcast just yesterday (more precisely the episode on birthing services, and the fear of children removals is mentioned too, in the context of childbirth rather than domestic violence. The Sixties Scoop and birth alerts.

Absolutely justified fear.
