I believe this little guy is part of this year’s Carolina wren baby batch, and is in the “looks adult but not quite a confident flier” phase. He clung to my office window for a good five minutes making angry faces at me.

He's only grumpy because he sees the other wrens being happy bouncy bois and he can't make that work yet. It's okay fren it gets better! As a kid I kept my sports stuff in the carport, and wrens made their nest in my baseball glove. I'd switched to soccer already, but would've had to then

We had a fledgling mockingbird on our 6th floor office window ledge hopping up and down and tapping on the glass for an hour the other day. I couldn’t tell if he was trying to get through the glass into the office or just saw his own reflection, but he had that same sulking expression,

Love your alt texts! 😂 We had fledglings of great tit, blue tit, and pied flycatcher at the same time. The bushes were peeping and the parents were screaming at me, the huge scary predator, from the trees. 10/10 parenting. They did an excellent job.

Obviously you were supposed to feed them. We have "baby" (the size of adults) grackles standing in the MIDDLE of the feeder tray with their mouths open. Because Dad should drop food in.

My understanding as a Californian is that Carolina wrens are pretty much born mightily pissed off and never grow out of it.

I love birds at this age. They stand around yelling at bugs and other food being confused as to why it won't fly into their beaks before finally figuring out they have to do it themselves.

My parent’s house has a small hole in the exterior wall directly next to their wall mounted ac unit. House wrens moved in and you can hear the chicks peeping as it echoes through the wall unit. My dad not being able to hear them was one of the reasons we finally convinced him to see an audiologist

While working inside earlier this week, I heard a very insistent call that I didn’t recognize. I finally identified a juvenile mockingbird when their parent came and fed them. Godspeed, little asshole.
