Birds at the feeder: it’s all about pecking order

I found it really interesting to watch the inter-species interaction at my bird feeder. It turns out size isn’t everything. I recommend watching this full-screen with your sound up. This is another video shot with my Canon HF200 high-def camcorder, equipped with Canon’s DM-100 stereo microphone. Editing software: avs4you’s Video Editor. I downloaded the individual bird calls at www.enature.com.

    Great great vid, awesome birds and great wooded lot. Praise God you don’t live where I do in America’s biggest corrupted shithole affectionantly called Chicago where gross obese people co-exist with millions of mourning doves, starlings, and house sparrows. Truly the place where Satan sticks the sinners. Your so lucky, keep the birds alive!

    Can’t figure out why my responses never post. Frustrating. Anyway, one more try.

    Hulled sunflower seeds from Uhler’s Seedman in Frazer. I pick up a 50# bag every fall. They love it.

    The editing is dead simple. I use AVS4You’s Video Editor, but Windows Movie Maker is equally simple (and free).

    I’ll check out your vids, but I am definitely not a bird expert. I’ve figured out the 18-20 species I get here, but that’s pretty much it.

    Great video ! Always wanted to do something like this just lack the editing skills.

    Boy that Downey is healthy and plump ! Almost looks like a hairy.

    What do you feed these guys that has the peckers ignoring the suet ?

    Surprising to see a Junco on anything but a ground feeder. They come in droves here … maybe dozen or so at a time.

    Im right down the road in Devon. Just uploaded some vids today or a couple hairys and a hawk maybe you could help me identify ?
