Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.
This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.
Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).
Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

I noticed the mother bird about a week ago when there would be a bird who flew off every time I left my front door

I try hard to minimize the disturbance to her/them. I only have one door so I try to consolidate my trips out but when I do I try to get a picture of the nest

This was taken yesterday, 5.10.25 at 9.45am

It's very exciting to me because I've never been in such close proximity to a nest before. I was sure I heard baby bird peeps earlier today and it turns out I was right!!

I've had a bird bath on my balcony consistently over the winter and have started setting out seeds for the resident birds. Every day I get a new visitor or something to marvel at! But I believe having the consistent water source was key to the gal nesting where she did

Ok, I have to say I am in love with this app. I've learned a few more species I have around here. It's addictive. I've had a little extra time in the mornings to enjoy nature (injury flare up, so I've had to stay home) and it's been so rewarding sitting outside and listening. I have to stay inside or I scare the birds from my balcony but omg the variety I have around me. I would have never known!

I've heard the birds around me but hardly see the them; I've been so overjoyed these last few days since you recommended that app. Referring back the injury, I can't really indulge in my normal activities like gaming or gardening, but at least I have always enjoyed nature so this has been such a positive outlet for me and the overlap of my interests and abilities
