I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
I have to start by saying this is just my opinion, some birders or people might actually like thesebullies birds. But I describe them as my undesirable birds visiting my feeders. I mainly get upset with them because they are like bully's at the feeders. Scaring away the smaller songbirds that I am trying to attract.
Oh yes, hard to believe my yard is not always filled with beautiful, colorful birds. So here are a few of my undesirable birds. And not everyone will agree and I am half kidding. I love all the birds and wildlife.

The Common Grackle is attractive with its shiny head and iridescent feathers. But, they are big pigs and they scare away my little birds.

Above are two of my undesireables, the Grackle and a Starling. When these two join forces, they can wipe out my feeders. Besides being pigs, they leave a big mess behind. I will not go into what kind of mess they leave behind. But, it is not pretty.

The next undesireable is the Mourning Dove. I know they are cute and sweet looking but, at times I can have 20 or more on my deck railing and feeders. They take over everything and the other poor birds do not stand a chance. They seem to be over populating, if there is such a thing. Can there be too many Mourning Doves?

And when these large crows coming flying in all loud and crazy, all the other birds leave immediately. They eat all my suet with one large bite. I can not afford to feed these American Crows.

Another one of my undesirables is the Brown-headed Cowbirds. They may not eat as much as the piggies above but their parents skills are lacking when they lay their eggs in other birds nest. They should hang their heads in shame! I feel sorry for my Cardinal parents that have to raise a baby cowbird along side their own baby cardinals.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my UNDESIRABLE BIRDS post. Thanks for the visit and I always appreciate your comments. Have a great day and week ahead.
