GreedyBirdsCardiff

We are greedy birds from Roath in Cardiff. We will eat all the food. #feedmorebirds

[#WildCardiffHour @wildcardiffhour]

This week is #BlackBirderWeek hosted by @BlackAFinSTEM, a much needed space in the nature community for black people who bird!

We hope that by using the hashtag you can discover new people to follow, share and amplify the voices of.

The one with the speckled head is definitely the clumsy one.

Pretty pigeon's two babies are growing up fast, and visited the feeder all on their own today.
Eyes are getting redder by the day.

This young starling is immensely proud of itself for figuring out how the food works.

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

Those mealworms lasted about 15 minutes.

Eating all the food is thirsty work.

@MariBiscuits Being carefully looked after by our resident gardener Mycroft...

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

We have asked our humans to help prevent strain on the network by refraining from fixing the birdcam and uploading thousands of photos of us a day.. but we are all still doing well.
Look how lovely our tree / restaurant area is looking today.

Over on the levels @ourlivinglevels have released resources to get the most out of visiting their sites such as Parc Tredelerch and Hendre Lakes - maybe you’ll spot some of their star species such as bees and water birds 🐝

I know things are a bit stressful right now, but if you have the time and supplies... don't forget to feed the birds!

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

Still too busilly* to fix the bird cam, but the greedy birds are doing well and eating ALL THE SEEDS!

Spotted the male black cap out there earlier, enjoying the sunshine from the pear tree.

* combination of ill and busy

Roof lurker.

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

This friendly dunnock hung around watching while I cleaned the feeder and did a bit of digging. We have at least 4 living around the end of the garden. They are always bopping around, cleaning up all the scraps.

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

Not the nicest day for cleaning the bird feeder, but it's all done and topped up (as much as it can be till our delayed bird food order arrives).

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

The pear tree is really springing back to life this week. I;m sure the birds will be thrilled as they love lurking near the feeder amongst the leaves.

Luckily I have a backlog of about 10 bazillion photos to look at in the meantime.

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

One of the connections on the raspberry pi birdcam broke a few days ago.. hence the absence of greedy bird pics.
I have a replacement, I just haven't had time to switch it over yet.

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

@BirdTrack They have been hanging round since the start of January. Seems like they might nesting on/near our old, ivy covered greenhouse, as I keep seeing them wriggling in there.
Also have a lot of blackbird action in the same spot.

[GreedyBirdsCardiff @TheGreedyBirds]

Signed up for @BirdTrack and inputted this little guy and his good lady wife, as they seem to have set up home in our garden.
