#cute bird

Time for another baby bird. Here is a pygmy nuthatch (Sitta pygmaea) fledgling. If this little guy isn’t cute enough on it’s own, you should also know that these birds huddle in cavities together when it gets cold. These piles (roosts technically) of fluff-balls can reach over 150 individual nuthatches all stacked together. (Just thinking about it gives me adorable-goose-bumps.) They not only help keep each other warm, but they are also cooperative breeders, meaning they live in family groups while breeding, with grown offspring helping to feed the new offspring.
These birds are truly “pygmy” weighing only 9-11 grams (not even half an ounce!).
Enjoy!

The blue eyes mark this crow as young, not a full adult.
You’ve been pranked by a teen hooligan.

Hooman: NO.
Perry the crow: well that sucks….

This is the bird I’m fostering. Isn’t she cute? She’s a little monster right now (I think it’s fear, though, and not aggression), but I’m hoping she will eventually grow to trust me.

This is the adorable mini macaw that lives in the conure aviary at the sanctuary. S/he is bonded with a nanday conure.
