It must be so interesting to watch at feeding time
I will try to get a video
The nearest we have to the pied crow over in Europe is the Hooded Crow.
They’re not so common in the UK. We saw loads when we were in Scotland
Gorgeous [emoji7]
Good afternooning all. I have been somewhat busy today. My day had had a soundtrack of fledgling starlings ... there are at least 40 newly emerged from the nest and screaming to be fed in our garden! Turn the sound on...
The ironing and some mending awaits so I must go and do that before settling down.

Yes, we have a nice little, cozy spot over there past the doorway to the CDR where only moderators can enter to talk about all you unruly CDR'ers!!!
Jeez, that's really nice! How lucky is that?
I have too many cats for birds to feel comfortable building nests on my property. So thankfully, I don't have to look forward to cats bringing me fledgling baby birds to share. I occasionally have the tail end of a mouse or lizard on my door step, but no birds.
Overcast, sunny, some rain, some clouds, then sun. Grass is wet. Muggy. But the gardening chores still need to get done in order to keep up with the Springtime surge.
Edged a large perennial bed yesterday, putting down mulch now. But, I stopped for a break to capture our just now blooming peonies. They always pop right around Mothers Day (US) like clockwork.
Some peony pix

I was also going to tackle the Springtime surge of weeds (with my weedwhacker), but Mother Nature has decided we needed a heavy mist today and everything's dripping and wet.
Lovely. Our peonies are in bud, but don’t look like flowering any time soon.

I will never understand that mindset.
The only thing we did buy new was our bedroom suite, mostly because the store delivered and set it all up!
The quality of the furniture donated by the wealthy is far higher than we could ever afford, and usually in excellent condition.
I got a matching inlaid wood coffee table and 2 inlaid end tables for $100.
I wouldn't do it any other way, and boy was it fun!
Wow. They really are very noisy.

I only have 2 cats, but they are indoors only. I have Collared Doves, Verdin, and some little sparrow type nesting here.
Then the daily visitors: a mated pair of great tailed Grackles, who bathe in Chug's water pans every day. And several roadrunners, who come and drink his water. When they have babies, they bring the baby to drink as well.
And of course the rabbit, who checks out the buffet that Chug has not finished. He usually finds something tasty...like all of the leftovers! [emoji2]

When my daughter's son had their first baby (my daughter's first grandchild) naturally "Gramma" bought lots of stuff for him. Lots of new onesies and cute little outfits for the baby. And of course, lots of furniture-type stuff. They bought them a really nice stroller with all the accoutrements.That's lovely!
Apart from buying a new bed, my first house was furnished with hand me downs from the family in fact my sister who donated a lot used to say it was like walking
back into her own house when she visited me!
Many of my nephews and nieces wouldn't dream of having second hand stuff and want all new even of it means getting into debt for it which doesn't make sense to me when they could be saving a lot of money.
Whenever the grandparents went over to visit and see the baby, he was always wearing what looked like hand-me-down clothes. Come to find out the mom was either selling or giving away what my daughter bought for them, even the stroller, and buying her own stuff at the Goodwill and places like that.
