MA state bird. We used to feed them out of our hand when we were kids . .

Love those birds and tufted titmouses!

Tough and stringy. You need a a whole flock to make a half decent meal.

Well, you built it and they came. Put camera on it and have some fun watching.

Ducks are better for their eggs. Eggs are a little bigger, ducks don’t use/need individual nesting boxes, eggs are less prone to breaking and last much longer at room temperature due to thicker shells, and lastly will produce more eggs per year.

Congratulations! Made my day.

We have never seen them here in FL. We really like that size bird. Loads of palm warblers in our yard now & have seen huge flocks of robins come through, but not these little friends
