Cardinals have got to be the perfect bird for this with their little mohawks. What a cute photo!

[-] bugworld@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, Mr Cardinal got a turn too

I've always loved the sexual dimorphism of birds.

Most female birds are boring/dull colors meanwhile the males are all fuckin "WITNESS MEEEE!!!"

How hard was it to keep the patience to wait for this shot?

[-] bugworld@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago

Not too bad. I spent probably 6 hours watching the feeder. I ended up with three good photos. I got this one within the first 15 minutes:

Now you just need a hawk to land on it.

Dude, sick.

[-] Donut@leminal.space 7 points 1 year ago

Gnarly! Did you print this? I'm looking into a bird feeder with a bird bath but choices are slim.

[-] bugworld@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I designed and printed the quarter pipe. I can make the file available on Thingiverse if there is any interest in it. As photographed, it requires a tech deck and 4x M4x25 bolts with nuts. Fairly simple to assemble!

This is the feeder I have: https://www.amazon.com/Feeding-Station-Hanging-Squirrel-Attracting/dp/B09KGY9Q79/

Edit: fixed wording

[-] Donut@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the link! I saw those but I was hoping to get a cohesive unit. Regardless, I would be interested in the file! It looks sick :D

Is that a Birdhouse skateboard?

[-] snf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

First of all, this is amazing.

Second: your parents let you have a mohawk?

[-] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.
