i have a nest in my back-yard there is only a mother taking care of the babies. All i can see of her is that she is very small has a blue beak and is brown. does anyone no what kind of bird she is?
This morning I obeserved a bird that I have never seen before. It was about the size of a robin and had a red breast. On his back he had a v shaped yellow patch approximately at his neck. From the point of the v of yellow the feathers appeared to be purple. Can you help me identify this bird? I live in central Texas.
Hello Paula, maybe you saw a “Say’s Phoebe”? I’m in Seattle now but sure miss Texas.
There is a bird in my back yard, and its head is naked looking, and its feathers are grayish-blackish with white poka-dots. It reminds me of a chicken. In my back yard there is a beach so maybe it has something to do with that as well. I am very curious to find out what it is.
What kinda of bird is this?
I saw it in my backyard, its body was completely bright red, its head was black like leather, and its beak was bright orange/red.
This morning we saw a bird at the golf couse that we didn’t recognise. It was grazing with the Canada Geese near the lake but not mixing with them. In fact it tried to chase them off. It was about the size of a Canada Goose but was a sort of goldy buff/grey colour all over. It had a white head with a slight lemony tinge and a short beak. It stood upright like a heron but had pink legs, and I mean pink, not red or orange. It was beatiful and obviously a stranger to our area which is on the south coast. We’d love to know what it could be. Any suggestions? We’ve looked through all the birds on the RSPB site and it’s none of those so not a British bird.

Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me I have these birds yes i said birds that are nesting in my trees i dont mind them but i am curious what they are description as much as possible …….they have a finch like beak thier eyes seem to change in colour depending on the reflextion of the sun some times they look blue sometimes pinkish thier plumage is two colours grey brown under the wings and darker grey wings and head but the head and wings relect a green tinge to them. The other unusual thing is the noise they make when something comes near the nest or if they feel threatened is like a hiss. They seem to be friendly to humans once they realize you are not going to hurt them even to the extent of sitting at the door waiting for scraps of bread or meat any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Hi everyone! We just found a bird in our backyard and I was wondering if someone could tell me what type of bird it is. It’s a dark gray, but underneath the bird is a green/blue color. It has copper eyes and it’s beak looks like a parrot’s beak. I also live in Hawaii and it’s definitely a pet bird since it’s wings were cut and has a band around its left leg.
Please reply back, thanks!

Something very strange happened to me today. Never happened before. I work from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM and today around 6:45 AM I went outside to sweep the parking lot and I saw this very beautiful brown bird about one or two meters away from me. He wasn’t flying away like birds usually do, instead he was just staring at me. I decide to get closer and closer, and the bird kept still. He didn’t fly away. I got to me knees and took my hand close to him, and he still didn’t fly away. I placed my hand on his head and started to pet him. I petted his head and back. He had this long tail which extended completely (becoming about 2 or 3 inches wide), but his wings were just still. He wasn’t trying to fly. He also had a very large beak. I decided to stop petting him and I took 3 steps back. But he stayed there staring at me. I got back on my knees and decided to pet him again. And once again, he let me pet him. He wasn’t afraid. I remember getting this feeling like of a flush of happiness going through me. I never felt anything like it before. I thought maybe his wings were damaged, but when I left him I saw him fly away just fine. I have been looking for pictures of this bird on the Internet and the closest one I have found is called “Brown Thrasher”. I wonder if any of you have any idea which type of bird this might be.
The bird that I petted looks like the “Brown Thrasher” but the beak was a little bit larger and the chest of the bird was brown, it wasn’t white. Also the back was brown and had this darker brown stripes going down through his back and wings. His wings did have a little bit of white, but not too much. The body shape does look just like the Brown Trasher. Any help someone can give me by telling me the name of this bird, will be greatly appreciated.
there is one white colour crow in th trees near my office at karachi airport does the crows come in white colour or is an elbino
So while we were eating dinner this evening i was looking outside because my cat was staring intently at the bird hoping and flying all over. Well this other bird came that I hadn’t seen here before (i almost ran to get my camera but didn’t knowing that by the time I put it together and got back it would be gone). Anyhow, I’m curious to know what kind it is. I had a golden brown color, with a V red mark on the back of the neck only, and you could see gold coloring on the edge of the wings when it fluffed up. Now because of the red V my first thought was a woodpecker, but looking online I’m not seeing the bird I saw, from what I recall it didn’t have any spots. The main thing I see being listed is the Northern Flicker, but looking at the beak when I think about it didn’t look like that of a woodpecker, it wasn’t very long, and the size was similar to that of a jay bid. I live in the state of Virginia. Any ideas would be awesome.
ok nevermind, what i saw was a northern flicker. just think it was that because most of the images i had seen online had a lot of gray and the one i saw didn’t, it was mostly brown.
I saw a bird that was black and its beak was golden beak.What is it?
I live in southern Ca.A couple years ago I saw a light purple bird and it was about 12 inches.It looked like a pigeon but it whole body was purple.If you know what it is please tell me.

My mom found a baby bird just getting its feathers in. It has brown down with a brown white-tipped beak. Can any one identify it?
Mariah M. what you might have seen was a purple martin or a purple finch.
Zai Y. i think what you saw is a kind of hawk. how tall did it stand?
Dear Jean Bailey, Thank you for assisting with the identification of these birds, we really appreciate your contribution to Birds.com!
I own a large pet store in South Africa,and breed and hand raise various types of parrote.

My mother got me interested in bird watching when I was a child, ever since then I have enjoyed birding and get excited when I spot a species I have not seen before, like the other week I saw 2 white-winged crossbills.
