Thank you soooo much! The truth is that I sometimes think, or feel, that same thing :-)

I don't know what it is... birds have become very significant for me in my life. I love to photograph them, from my apartment window and portray, not their standard beauty and/or perfection, buy their behavior, especially how they interact with one another. For a year and a half there was a huge flock of very rare birds (for the U.S.A., as they are a new, invasive species here) eating from a bird feeder I had placed in a common courtyard. Some 200 or more Scaly-breasted Munias, aka Nutmeg Mannikins, that would live here during the daytime. And House Sparrowes, too. They all seemed to pose for me at I sat in the open window -- so much so that I sometimes could not believe it.

You would have to go to my Flickr pages to view the sets (start at the end, when I had a new camera with stronger zoom)

You are an artist indeed! I'd already peeped into your albums and I had been enchanted by the variety of behaviours, attitudes and I would say...emotions that these birds show. But it's you that are able to catch all this! You are on their same wavelength...

Thank you again! I very touched -- because that is what I feel. I have the same thing with feral cats

Feathers and fluff

Che buffa espressione!

ma è incredibile come non si somiglino tra pulli di nidiate diverse! Quelli di Aria e Vento secondo me sono i più belli di tutti...saro' di parte ma li trovo più dolci, più plastici! Quasi che l'imprinting di due genitori magnifici si sia riflesso anche sul loro sguardo e le loro linee armoniose...

I agree. Everytime I see several birds together in this nest, it reminds me of the set of "Les Misérables'. Whereas with the chicks of Aria and Vento... Well, I can't think of any good title at the moment... maybe "the Sound of Music'?

I just went through all the posted screenshots on this thread... Wow! All the beauty I have missed
Especially around May 9 through 11, what beautiful screenshots. My thanks and compliments to all who have posted here.
