Final Friday Feature May 30 2025

One afternoon, I saw two black birds sitting on a wall. One had a piece of food in its beak. The other bird had already fed and was cool about its pal enjoying its morsel. Most birds fly alone. I seldom see more than one bird from one species.

The blackbirds are invasive. They’ll walk into your home through an open window, or open glass doors. The bad thing is they mess everywhere they step or fly into. I had to clean up so much that I’m likely to remember this fact for the rest of my days.

    Hi, Cai! Thank you so much for embracing FFF and joining our little group.

    I enjoyed your take on what you call Blackbirds. As a bird watcher, though, I think these are Mynah birds, and that tells me you are somewhere in SE Asia – would I be right? Mynahs are definitely very cheeky and messy! YAM xx

  2. Hello Yamini. Yes, that black bird is a mynah. Another black bird with red eyes is the koel. Thank you for your welcome.

  3. Bold, aren’t they, to walk in. The black birds here are mostly crows and they are bold but know they don’t want in our homes.
