Starting off simple -- it's our favorite neighborhood birbs:
Myna #1 & Myna #2 are the OG couple. Unfortunately, Myna #1 passed away unexpectedly a couple years back and Myna #2 found a new mate -- Handsome. Handsome is still a bit "shy" but slowly becoming more brave. He's still a very handsome bird... Myna #2 sure knows how to pick 'em.
The Java Sparrows in our area travel in large packs and the younger ones are -suuuuuper- chatty and follow the parents everywhere, demanding food. It's really quite cute.
"Tunted" ("toonted?") is the name we gave a Mountain Dove with a bum wing. I drew him from memory, so it's actually the -other- wing that drags on the ground. He arrived one day and was kinda dusty and beat up, but kinda made himself at home. He likes to come and go.
Wiggs are the Red-Crested Cardinals who seem to be the lowest of the pecking order around here. They're super vigilant, but also try hard to get our attention by swooping in front of our field of view and chirping from the power lines.
"Tubbs" (or "Tubby" as Scott's mom dubbed him) is one of the Mountain Doves who likes to sit in the containers of water we put out for the birds. Like his own personal pool or jacuzzi...
There certainly are a lot more birds, but I guess we'll get to know them better as they make their personalities known... or figure out a way to distinguish them from each other. XD
