Big Bird by carole_sandford

Big Bird

....not of the Sesame Street variety, but certainly too big for the bird feeder! This guy lives in the field behind our house, but mostly we hear him rather than see him, but today word had obviously got round that there was plenty of seed on the ground, under the feeder. So, he decided to hop over the fence - well they don't really fly do they?
Well captured Carole. He's a beauty.

Great capture. If he’s eating the seed that the little birds reject, then even though it’s guaranteed ‘not to grow’ it does, then ghat’s fine with me.

No, they rarely seem to fly. They usually run across the road in front of my car (especially the males).

@gillian1912 I believe they can cause a lot of damage if hit!

@happysnaps think they can be territorial, he certainly “ owns” the field behind our house & I think they have a harem structure. But, I don’t know if they are aggressive with other birds.

A pretty bird but the do seem to be fairly stupid. This one must be an exception to the rule and has sussed where the party is at :)

Wow. He is so pretty. Love all those beautiful colors.

He looks so guilty! great capture 😃

Great close up of him. Definitely a harem bird. He'll be keeping his head down as it is the middle of the shooting season.
