If it were a blackbird it would have a melodious song. It's why The Beatles wrote about one.  I'm a bird nerd, lol! (PS: The common European black bird is a completely different species from the American one and is, in fact, a type of thrush.) 

 

Hi, Caz!  

I'm not an expert, but I looooove birds... I used to breed budgies for the fun of it...

Hi Caz!

 

Hi Dughlas

Hello Chef. I am going to be in Philly next Thursday for a doc appt. I don't like the long term forecast of light snow for that day. Would you be kind to an old man and schedule sunshine instead. Thanks much.

I had a budgie when I was a kid. He was called Pippin. After Pippin the Short (who is, in Norwegian, called Pippin the Little; my dad named him, ultimate dad joke). He lived for a fairly long time. He was already pretty old when we got him, around 1991 or so, estimated over 10 years old, and he didn't die until 1999. He was so beautiful. Yellow head, wonderfully shiny turquoise chest. 

 

My granddad taught me the songs of all the birds of the forest. He knew everything.

Glad you think so! Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Not too bad today. This has been anxiety week, but things are improving.

This tends to be a tough month for me. My mom's birthday just passed... it's a happy kind of sadness, if that makes sense...

Mine's at Jefferson Neuroscience at 9th & Walnut. Is the ultrasound to check healing for an old injury or something new?

It does. You miss her but have happy memories.

I know that feeling. I feel similarly around my dad's birthday, really.

The trill of a red-winged blackbird means Spring for me.

me too but i was raised by my grandparents both whom died my grandmother almost two years ago

My granddad passed away last year, a couple of weeks after his 90th birthday. He'd been in hospital for a long time, it was his time. Still broke my heart, though.

Maybe if I post warmth, it will come... there is something about a man with a dog...

Morning, everyone! Just another Thursday for me, never really cared for this particular holiday, but to those who do, Happy Valentine's Day! Hug your loved ones, and practice some self-love while you're at it.  

Good afternoon, Thorn.  Just a quiet dinner for two this evening. Lemon-butter chicken with risotto, watercress salad, and molten chocolate cake for tonight's menu.

Jordan and Ash school district will be closed tomorrow, so they can have a four day weekend. Monday is President's Day, so no school...

I'm sure they'll enjoy the extra time off.

  Morning/afternoon, Tim.   How's the weather in your world?

 

Getting milder - and I heard the blackbird singing in the dusk on my way home. Melodious and characteristic, as @Thorn Wilde says.   But I guess it can be annoying at 5 am and right outside your window.

I have so much birdsong around me in spring and summer. It's joyful.   Sorry for my ignorance, but do you get spring sooner than us?
