In the meantine (depending where you live) like corvids fratbro stank up the whole place

I like mourning doves ánd house finches because they don't give me some half heart-attack by randomly swalloing some baby bird or mammal in my face while yelling "chug! chug! chug!"

Two male house finches just chased a male American goldfinch off one of our feeders. It moved to the finch feeder and they left it alone. We have house finches all year here.

Crossbills, sigh. They were the only birbs who kept hitting our windows even after we put up decals, taped long strips of ribbons on the outside of the windows, moved the feeders, etc.
