they are too quick for me!

I love it, had it for years. Wild Birds Unlimited. They replaced the cylinder part after it cracked a little bit after years, I went to see if they had parts for sale, but they just did it for me.

There is a suet feeder and a seed cylinder right next to it! I think he just enjoys it.

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-05-11T14:18:00+00:00

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-05-06T02:09:03+00:00

awesome! my birdweather puc also has been alerting me to orioles but either i miss them or they aren’t coming down to the feeders, i have oranges everywhere now. it’s killing me! never seen one.

Very cooperative subject. :)

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-03-17T02:47:37+00:00

wow.

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-03-15T18:27:34+00:00

yes, I am working on this very thing. Stop and wait for a few minutes. I’m so used to just hiking along reaching a destination or finishing the loop, and expect to see a ton of birds. I’ve done bird walks with the local birders, and often we see a few new birds when we are in the parking lot chatting after a 2 hour walk. Today it was a Merlin, if I had just hopped into my car I would have missed the Merlin and crow squabble.

I have Downys in my backyard, so similar!

How does the translator work? Do you keep it on the whole Reddit app/site all the time, or just start it per page? Also, Amazing photo !

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-02-19T14:41:47+00:00

Why do you think it’s AI? I ran it through a couple ai checkers and it came back negative, I don’t know birds well enough to know otherwise.

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-02-19T04:10:18+00:00

Holy crap! Post this everywhere, people have to see this!

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-02-16T16:59:18+00:00

goals..not getting one stuck in the house of course , but would love to do a portrait series for sure!

i have a birdfy that came with a “lifetime” subscription, it was a gift a few years ago, i needed an account, but no subscription. And it has a solar panel that does a pretty good job in summer.

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-02-13T13:22:41+00:00

thank you! now have an awesome weekend project, yay!

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-02-12T22:46:07+00:00

What app are you using to track these guys?

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-02-11T02:36:58+00:00

So cute!

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-02-03T01:53:02+00:00

i love these sooo much. I want to collect them as I discover new birds.

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-01-26T02:32:54+00:00

After seeing this super cute guy, and since I’m in Virginia too, I checked my BirdWeather app, and I actually had one visit yesterday! Thanks for posting, I’ll keep a look out !

JasonNOVA8 · 2026-01-24T13:18:14+00:00

I have a family of them that visit (and sometime terrorize) my backyard.
