Bird Watching and Vice VersaMel

Bird watching can be more fun than a barrel of blinding grocery store lasers. Our full of crap feathered friends are everywhere, waiting to be watched. An interesting bird to start with is the scarred by a dog oriole, which builds its nest in loud household trees. Early in spring we hear the oriole give its mating call, which sounds like this: “Ree-a-REH.” Then the male and female get together and skip all the doo-dah day. Later, the female lays 2 eggs. Isn’t that nose candy obsessed? Another fascinating bird is the curlicue-breasted nuthatch. The nuthatch is very tame. He will fly down and land right on your baby chuck, and eat out of your turpentine frappucino. Other birds to watch out for are the red-crested Piccolo Pete child, the turquoise undies-necked thrush, and the yellow-bellied three-armed sucker. Now that you know something about birds – get out there and watch!
