Nuthatch

MMmmm, bugs! Nothing better than bugs, well, or seeds. Maybe seeds? Do I really have to choose? Did you know that when stocking up for the winter, that I tuck treats into the bark of nearby trees to make sure I have goods to chomp on through the winter, just in case little old lady Jones forgets to fill the feeder.

Want to see a cool trick? I can perch just like any other bird, but wait for it! I can also walk in any direction, even upside down! Are you impressed? You should be, only a few bird species can manage that. I really enjoy strolling upside down to impress my mate, and the hoomans with the binoculars always clap and ooh and ahh!

Did you know that some birdwatchers actually thought I was a Chickadee when they first started their hobby? Silly hoomans! If you watch me long enough, you'll see me using tools, which is very rare in the animal world! No, I don't buy them from the SnapOn truck, silly! I make my own, and use it regularly, keeping it handy to find bugs and tasty treats.

Birdsong is as old as time. Birds sing to announce their ownership of territory, to find a mate, or just for the joy of living. Of course they all sing completely different tunes, but all birds understand the nuances of other bird’s songs, even though they may sound entirely different.

There is a natural order of things. Little tweeting birds hear one another in the hedges; hawks scream in the skies; blackbirds warble across the fields. And they ignore other species.

But when the wrens first saw a microphone and realised they could make themselves heard by everybird everywhere, that changed all the rules. Suddenly it wasn’t good enough to have just the right song for your environment; you had to scream just to be heard over the wrens!

Peace could only be achieved by giving everybird a microphone, but only in designated places. Then with everybird having an equal chance to be heard, competitive interspecies birdsong began. And the fields and skies went back to the natural order of things.
