Bird Brain

Yesterday I spotted this noisy miner attacking itself in the wing mirror of a car. It really took a dislike to the reflection in the mirror. They've only got little brains!!

Ha ha, great capture, what a daft bird!

[Gerry]

great capture Babs

[Heather Colgate]

Good shot... I can hear the daft thing talking to its self.

[Ginny]

Haha that made me chuckle.

[Angela Tavan]

LOL I love it! so typical of these birds! So well captured by you!

[Jo]

Perhaps he was having an argument with himself :)

[Deb]

funny:)

[Lee]

Good shot.

[Babs]

@paulaw They aren't the brightest buttons!! They attack everything.

[Babs]

@gerry thanks Gerry.

[Babs]

@bugsy Thanks Heather. It wasn't talking, it was SHOUTING I think there were a few rude words in there too. Stupid bugger.

[Babs]

@ginnykoppenhol Thanks Ginny. Glad it made you smile. It was a really stupid bird.

[Babs]

@angelat Thanks Angela. They are a bit dumb aren't they

[Babs]

@joluise I think he was having an argument with himself and the saddest thing is he was losing!!!

[Babs]

@gypsy6 They are quite dumb aren't they.

[Babs]

@gamelee Thanks Lee. They really are the dumbest birds. They are Australian native birds from the honey eater family and they squawk at everything. I've even seen one have a go at a sea eagle, just shows how dumb they really are.

[Nicola]

Ha Ha how funny!

[Elaine]

Oh what a cheeky Miner. I had a male Fairy Wren do this once. Great timing Babs.

[Babs]

@elaine55 Thanks Elaine. Very teritorial aren't they. Lucky I happened to have the camera in my hand at the time.

[Elaine]

@onewing they are territorial and moved most of the other birds from my garden.

[Sharon]

Great shot, very funny.

[Babs]

@goosemanning He wasn't a happy bird and was having a real go at the reflection in the mirror

[Babs]

@elaine55 They haven't moved the other birds from our garden. They pick a fight, but the kookaburra's, butcher birds and rainbow lorikeets give as much back.
