POSITRON asked:
We observe that bird watching is a great hobby in West Europe and U.S and people watch silently for hours together thru binoculars and also video the childish antics,food habits,nesting activities etc of birds and also record their musical sounds, notes and chirpings. Not that we of the east are averse to such bird watching.City folks and students everywhere are showing increasing interest in this hobby.It provides a great escape from the miserable life in gas pollution and sound pollution filled concrete jungles of the cities. it also gives a spiritual satisfaction just as felt by wordsworth in his sojourns in rural sorroundings in Lake Districts.I just want to know the level of popularity of the hobby in the West.

Is there a name for this phobia?
Is there a name for this phobia?
I admire beautiful birds in the wild, but can not live with the thought of one of them landing on me or flapping around me.
I can not walk through avaries, and found a similar feeling when I walked through the butterfly house at the zoo. I freaked out when a butterfly landed on me.
Anyone else like me or am I a freak? LOL
LOL - I knew that someone would pick up and call me a freak!

Why don’t you hear birds singing as much, in the north, in wintertime?

Messdeck Annie asked:
In the summertime, at dawn, the birds singing is so beautiful and really loud and raucous. Most of the same birds live here in the wintertime (I am in Canada) at our feeders but you don’t hear the same chorus at dawn as in the summertime. Why are they so much quieter in winter?

Cardinals are beautiful birds, but does anyone know how I can deter them?

tiffany a asked:
I first noticed on saturday(it is now friday) a set if cardinals that were fascinated with my side mirrors on my car. I would sit and watch them play with my windows. Then they found my daughters car and again it was so fascinating to watch them play. But I am now realizing the damage they are doing to our vehicles. The side windows and mirrors are getting scratched from their beeks. We have tried parking the cars in different areas, but they still find them and will fly over 100 yards from car mirror to car mirror. Any ideas on how to get their attention away from our cars?

Can I get rid of the birds?

Fulita asked:
I have 2 bird feeders out with sunflower seeds in them. I know the presence of black birds is pretty much inevitable. Still, they’re taking over. I rarely see any other beautiful birds like I used to because the black birds scare them away. Is there ANY way I can keep the black birds away at least some without keeping the other birds away, too???
I live in the middle of town yet I have all kinds of birds at the feeders. I even have several blue jays that live in my yard. It wouldn’t be so bad if the black birds wouldn’t show up 12 at a time.
