Sibling Rivalry with the doves Again ! #BackyardBirds #Photography #StormInATeacup #ECK
Two mourning doves in a chips cup. One actually sitting on the other. Amazingly the one on the bottom continues to eat! They must be siblings.

@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay is #BeautyInBrown, alt is #StormInATeacup

I think this qualifies for both... Bush stone curlew fending off *three* other birds, two magpie larks and a turncoat fellow brown bird, a little friarbird.

For the alt #BirdOfTheDay theme of #StormInATeacup I have a couple of shot with some cliff swallows having a bit of an aerial disagreement.

Two cliff swallows spar in mid air. They have metallic dark-blue backs, rusty-colored cheeks/throats, a white forehead, and a pale rump. The Cliff Swallow also has a squared-off tail.

Collection of bluejays doing their ritual dance around a feeder in hopes of calling forth Morrigan to grant their wishes. After realizing Phil, the bluejay, forgot the Old Bay seasoning (essential for calling for Morrigan, the bluejays begin to scatter, all wondering why they trusted Phil AGAIN.

"I claim this land for WRENS!" the small Carolina Wren shouted as it landed on a garden stone. Sure sure... It's allll yours tough guy. A Cooper's Hawk, having heard that Wrens were claiming ground, lands nearby to investigate these property claims by the Wren clan. In the end, the Wren chuckled a bit and said it was merely making jokes... he hehehe..hehe... A lady Eastern Bluebird and a White Throated Sparrow standing around a spindle feeder while it snows discussing how, "you can wait five minutes and the weather will change" as if they are making original jokes. Couple of my chunky ladies sitting proud in a flat tray. I love mourning doves because they will be loitering in the tray and a hot shot Red Bellied Woodpecker will come swooping in demanding other birds make way and these ladies give a sigh shoo the idiot off their area while remaining unflustered.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay - show a beautiful bird with brown plumage. The alt theme is #StormInATeacup: any bird battles.

I’m going with this beautiful, Buffy-tan colored mourning dove. I got lucky with the light on this one. #Birds 🪶
A mourning dove rests on a branch against a blue sky. Shadows play across its tan feathers, covering most of its body. You can see the light falling across its head, making its eye gleam.

*shout out to Bill🇬🇧 for the help with feeders.
Dove siblings trying to look so innocent, perched on a water trough. I'm hiding behind curtains with my camera The first dove had perched on the lip of the chips cup. The second dove (feigned look of innocence) has other ideas. He somehow startled his sibling and she flies out of the frame. By this snapshot I'm doing my best not to laugh. The remaining dove is alone and cranes his neck looking at a new food source. He is face down in the chips cup, apparently to see what the finches have to eat.
