I am no ornithologist but I really like having birds in the garden. I even forgive them for waking me up with the dawn chorus at around 4 am, now that we keep the bedroom window open.

I haven't see robins for a while now, but there is a lovely groups of dunnocks which remind me of hyper-active children because they are so lively, noisy and never seem to stop anywhere for longer than a few seconds.
Even their bath is a rushed affair





The blackbirds are less playful but enjoy a long beauty routine in the birdbath.

And some like to stay in the same position for a while, making them perfect for photographing.

Birds bring me a feeling of peace.

I love seeing birds.

I love hearing them, too.

I have two 20 foot tall cedar trees in my back yard, and I often see birds in them.

I saw a Mourning Dove on my front window sill just this morning. It was alone, which probably means it had a mate that died. Poor little bird.

I like your birds, but I wouldn't appreciate the being woken up at 4 AM part. :)
