Bird of the Week – White Dove

Yellow-wattled Lapwing + Bird of the Week Invitation XV

This pretty white dove flew into our garage one day a few years ago. He perched up on a metal rail, and was there for quite awhile. We finally shooed him out so we could close the garage door.

We see little robins around here a lot. This one was hanging around the front yard one day. It was going from the tree to the ground and sidewalk, and eating the cat food kibbles we leave for the cats. For some reason, birds just love cat food. 🙂

Photos show a red breasted robin on the ground, and in the tree.

Bird of the Week – Great Blue Heron

I think this is a Great Blue Heron. We see them at the lake by our house all the time, but this one flew over the houses that day. This beautiful big bird then perched on the chimney of the house behind ours for awhile, then flew away.

We see blue jays around here sometimes. This one was perched on the back of an outside chair. I’ve also found a blue jay feather on the ground.

Exotic Chickens – Bird of the Week

Exotic Chickens – Bird of the Week

My cousin, Mike, raises exotic chickens.

He pretty much makes pets of them all, and collects their eggs to sell.

The first photo shows a large black & white chicken with an elaborate all black feathery head-dress. He calls this one Silver. I think it is a Polish Silver breed of chicken.

The next photo is Mike holding Silver.

The next photo is another kind of chicken he is holding. He calls this one Houdie. Could be because it is a breed of chicken called Houdan.  It is a large black and white chicken, with it’s head-dress of feathers of black & white.

Very cool chickens! 🙂

These are three gray doves gathering around the blue bowl of water on the back porch. I believe they are Eurasian Collared Doves, as they do have a black ring (collar) around their neck. But there are a type of dove that also has a ring, and are called Ringnecked Doves. Anyway, we have a lot of these around here all year round.

I took this photo quite a few years ago at a specialty restaurant/ranch where we were attending a concert. There were quite a few peacocks roaming around, and they were very noisy. If you’ve ever heard them, you’d know what I mean. The concert was outdoors, and the artist who was singing had to stop several times because the peacocks were so loud. She was very good natured about it though, and joked about competing with the birds. haha 🙂
