Four little birds are pecking at my window for food!
They are obviously pretty young, maybe without their mom for the first time. I love all the birds I see around here, and I need to get a bird guide to find out their names. I know the Hoopoe, the Beecatcher, and the Pakistani Parrots, but I'm woefully clueless about the funky little spike headed birds and the long legged sea birds and others.

1. Get a guidebook

Or better yet, the Internets.
Opps, you already have them.

:blush:

:rofl:

In the meantime, feed 'em.

:hug: for your concern.

4. I did, but they flew off
now I have crumbs on my windowsill. But if nothing else, the doves or the Myna birds will show up and eat them!

6. I've been putting seed down on the bare/sparse patches on my lawn
The little birds consider the lawn an "all you can eat" buffet. :rofl: It's ok though--I have plenty of seed and I enjoy watching them out there.
