Bird Life in my Backyard

Most of you who have read me for years, know how I love birds.
I have a very well stocked  2-level feeder in my back yard with fresh bananas & papayas
and it has been a well known and well loved food buffet since 1986.
Here’s a small time lapse to give you an idea of one area of the feeders:)

🙂
If you can imagine, we restock 3 times a day for the constant demand!
But my great loves are the Toucans, the Chestnut Mandibled Toucans.
Here is a couple, in my backyard, hanging out:) The only difference between male 
& female is the size. The funny looking chicken-like bird above is a Chacalaca.

What I really love about these majestic birds is their song,
melancholy, pleading, full of nostalgia & longing…..
Can you hear it?

    Se puede escuchar y además, con los videos vemos que tu convivencia con la naturaleza es magnífica. Tienes un verdor que escandirla la vista y debes de respirar ese aire puro. Bien por ti Karima.

    • Así es Manuel y muchas gracias por tu lindo comentatio:) Quiero mucho a todos los animales y pajaros que llaman a mi patio su hogar tambien.
      Hay muchos arboles, frutales, arboles y arbustos para nidos y los pájaros migratorios regresan año tras año. Es un paraiso para los animales y por esta razón…para mi también:)

  2. I love your love of the birds and commitment to feeding them 3 tines a day, Karima. Wow, with those gorgeous toucans in your yard, I might make an exception and do that as well! I’m playing your videos outside and the birds are chimming in and the pup dogs ears are perked.. especially Duke!
    Thanks for sharing!!! xxx

  3. Before cats came into my life and we had to put screens on all windows…the smaller birds used to come in and eat off my nightstand:) True!
