Today, two young Starlings showed up and made a huge racket, screaming over and over until their parents arrived and fed them. The adult could not feed them fast enough, and this repeated a few times during the day. Each time, after the parent leaves, they shut up and just eat seeds like normal birds—damn needy kids.

The new feeders at my barn have been busy for a week straight. Today was the aggression day. So many bird fights. This Rosefinch stood their ground doing a great TRex impression, but most fights were between the Starlings.
