Listen, strange birds alighting on keys is no basis is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical avian ceremony!

Ugh, now you have to randomly burst into song.
A Black-capped Chickadee! Nice.
Could be a Carolina Chickadee depending on location.
100%. We got one of those AI camera bird feeders, and it mixes them up even though it knows where it physically is. There is very little overlap in range, but I'm sure climate change is changing that also.
Are those camera bird feeders worth the money? Would you buy one again if yours broke?
Yes, but don't bother with the AI. My thought was I could filter out the field sparrows and house finches, but it didn't work out that way. The camera itself is 100% worth it though.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info! Learned something new today.
I do love a bird that yells its own name
🎶 "Chicka-dee-dee-dee"! 🎶 😃
When you think about it, the idea of Pokémon saying their own name isn't actually that unrealistic: a lot of animals are named after the sound they make. Peewees, warblers, howler monkeys, kookaburras, hummingbirds, and I believe the ancient Egyptian word for "cat" is "mau".
They really are irl pokemon
Yes and the princess is resting on your keys so better not to disturb her.
Chickadees are suprisingly friendly - or maybe just stupid. It takes almost nothing to get them acclimated enough to you to land on you. I used to feed them sunflower seeds out of my hand.
What are the odds of a bird landing on your keys on a day when your nails are in perfect order are unbelievable
Perfect order? They're like weirdly grown out and freaky looking. And no one would stage a photo with that dirty porch with random filthy carpet cuts as the backdrop.
True princess photo.
Oh I see it now. I'm just not used to them ever growing out before getting chipped or ruined somehow
No it holds up. It's like cinderella or snow white at the beginning of the movie, where she's poor and wearing rags but has animal friends.
Grown out? They look like they're glue on nails.
Yes... and they've grown out, so there's a big gap between the cuticle and nail.
Are you implying OP and the chickadee are in cahoots?
I'm just saying there are legitimate questions here and the people deserve to know the truth
"I dub thee a knightingale"
“Yo, got any bird seed?”
I like your nail polish color
They are a little overdue tho.
The bird: Chick-a-deez nutz.
"Birds love bitches with Nissans. Visit your local dealer today!"
everybody's disney until your Xterra is found stuck in the wall of a Wild Birds Unlimited
Princess Nissan it is!
Username checks out lol
I'm so jealous I want to cry, I fucking love birds.
Apparently a goth princess judging by the nail polish LOL
Imagine a goth Disney princess... A classic Disney princess.
Princess Nissan
How... Do you learn to do this?
