Sharing The Feeder

It is always a treat to see male and female cardinals together on the feeder. Something unusual . . . the male's upper beak is split. I checked online and read that many birds suffer beak injuries during the course of their lives. This is the first time I've seen a bird with a cracked beak.

Sweet capture of these adorable little guys

Beautiful capture! I love cardinals...wish we had them here. Fun to see the pair together! Fav!

[Connie Little]

A wonderful capture. Fantastic focus on the birds. I hope that the poor bird is not in pain with that split beak.

looks like they are having a chat

[Denise Wood]

Terrific :)

[Catherine P]

Superb! Wonder what they are saying?!

Fabulous photo and clarity. The beak looks unusual, but he must be able to eat ok.

[Dione Giorgio]

Fabulous shot and great clarity. Fav. They look like they are having a quarrel.

So it is...that's a bit sad... 😞

[Issi Bannerman]

What a delightful couple. His split beak doesn't seem to be preventing him scoffing the seeds!

[Merrelyn]

What a lovely couple. He seems to be managing ok with his damaged beak :)

Super capture, clarity

I was wondering about that beak. Great shot of the pair. Looks like he is getting on despite his injury.

The color is so perfect Gayle - nicely captured! If I put anything out in a container like that it would become a feeding trough for the local deer unfortunately. Nicely done!

Great capture

[Taffy]

They look deep in conversation - great timing.

[Tunia McClure]

She seems to like him anyway.

[amyK]

Very nice shot and interesting information!

[Islandgirl]

Great timing and couple!

How precious, the Mr. & Mrs. dining together. Bummer about the cracked beak tho.

Thanks for the comment shared on my embellished feather the other day. Appreciate the visit!
