Bored, so I thought I'd share bird pictures...

Well, these aren't actual pictures I'm taking of my birds, but I'm googling their species and trying to find pictures that look most like my birds. I don't really feel like actually taking pictures of them at the moment, plus the camera is full from AX and I haven't uploaded those pictures yet.

The baby quail (this looks almost exactly like it, actually): http://research.amnh.org/swrs/baby%20gambels%20quail%20copy.JPG

Goldfinches (though one is still kind of a baby): http://www.windowsonnature.com/Nature_Pages/Nature_Map/Pages/Austin_Winter_Images/pages/BD_Goldfinch_American.htm

I'm sure all of you know what a blackbird and sparrow look like. :P

Mockingbird (mine might be slightly younger than this, though he frequently begs in this position): http://placeforwildbirds.tripod.com/mock5cl.jpg

House finch: http://thecrow.netfirms.com/images/hfisnd1.jpg

Bewick's wren (though mine is younger and tinier than these): http://www.keepbanderabeautiful.org/bearspringsblossom/bewicktwoygi.jpg

You're so lucky to have a wren! At my old house, we had a pair of Carolina wrens nest in our box for a few years, but I haven't seen one since. ;_;

The wren is sooo cute! It's about the size of a hummingbird (it's still a baby), and every time I go feed it, it flies up to me really fast, perches as close to me as it can get, and opens its mouth. It's very endearing. ♥
