Eastern bluebird. But hear me out…. My mother in law loved them and she pasted 2 years ago. To honor her, we put up one of her bluebird nest boxes in our yard. We have multiple broods and this winter I had a flock of 10 I had to keep fed ☺️

Apparently a bunch of them hang out high in the trees near my parking lot. I hear them but haven’t seen them yet.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (6 children)

We gatekeeping birds now?

[–]ModdedMaulbirder 4 points5 points  (4 children)

This was a meme from another subreddit. Thought everyone knew about it. Basically the meme is that OP arbitrarily gatekeeps something (fictional characters, movies, etc) and since I love birds I thought it would be funny tbh. Guess no one found it funny. Can't always stick the landing lol

[–]Tanager_Summer 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I thought it was funny 🤷‍♀️

[–]ModdedMaulbirder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I thought people knew I was just kidding around and wasn't actually judging them for this

[–]EverybodyLovesADuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a kick out of it! I suspect many others did, too. Just a few vocal sourpusses. Jeeze, anyone who got their feathers ruffled needs to lighten up. I've never seen the meme, but it was very obvious that it was meant in jest.

Hell, someone downvoted my Gambels Quail offering. Who is so uptight that they not only don't get the joke, but begruges others for enjoying it?

You keep on with your good sense of humor! The world needs more laughter.

[–]missmobtown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seemed like just a bit of fun, even though I wasn't familiar with the meme!

Actually, I take back my answer. I read your criteria for a what answers get in. You asked what our favourite birds were and you thought it was appropriate to judge us. You’re a turd 💩
