Those feisty little birds! Every year when we go to Lake Havasu for fireworks we see these long-tailed blackbirds, i forget what brand they are- but they always run up to shiny hubcaps and contemplate the reflections. It's funny!
Great photo. Cute!

Aww, that's one beautiful bird...A few days ago, I saw a bird flying between my and my boyfriend's car, looking at himself in both of our mirrors. It was pretty adorable, that's for sure. :)

The long tailed black bird is a Brewers Blackbird, and the pretty orange guy having territorial wars wif hisself in the side view mirror is a Tanager I believe.

It appears to be an orange-scarlet tanager:

awwww pretty birdy! Looks like a scarlet tanager, but I thought they tend to stay secluded in the forest? whats he doing down with this person's car? :D

Isn't this some variety of finch?

And why is a finch speaking in a mixture of owlese and parrotese?

Great pic-- great comments!
If I remember correctly, that bright little birdie is probably PO'd no end to see another male of his species on his turf.

Aw, my dear recently departed budgie used to tire herself out flapping in front of the mirror if I forgot to cover it up.

Though usually I was already flapping in front of it and she'd sit on my shoulder

great pic

Neat!!
If you scroll half way down this page: http://mariewin.server304.com/marieblog/2007_05_20_mariewinn_archive.html you will see a scarlet tanager. It definitely looks like one of those.

Vermillion flycatcher?

Reminds me of when I put a ceramic cardinal on my windowsill and the local male cardinal took offense. Had to hide it or he would've spent all day at the window.

Theresa's correct. Cute as this looks to us, this little birdie is being aggressive...thinks someone is in his territory and giving him the 'what for." My canary does this all the time.

Wonderful photo. BerthaS; I'm now snorting tea down my nose. I was wondering why you were hiding from Theo, then I worked it out

What an amazing photo! And so cute!

Grace...that may explain why my canary was so fixated on the mirror we gave him. My Mom had read somewhere that birds like mirrors, but our canary would sit in front of it all day and peck at it. We finally got rid of it and he seemed a lot happier. I guess now I know why. Thanks.

Geez, people on this site are so smart! I always learn so much here.

My parakeet used to constantly preen himself and make out with his mirror till it got so covered I had to take it down. He's a messy boy around mirrors but his all time favorite place to hang out is my keyboard. I've learned to frequently clean off my keyboard these days.

Stuart Smalley is going to be a US Senator soon.
Because Norm Coleman is a stoopypants.

"Stuart Smalley is going to be a US Senator soon."

So he actually was good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people really do like him.
