I went sit outside to do a little #birdwatching since they're quite active this morning. Mockingbirds, crows, killdeer (My favorite around my house), the neighbors chickens, and a cacophony of other songbirds.
@Flumberbug Indeed, the name is very, very misleading. Adorable little birds, though. I've seen the mockingbirds swoop down on neighborhood cats if that's any consolation.
@Taco Yay! Let's call them Killkitties.
But also 😢. TIL Harper Lee's a damn liar. Mockingbirds do other things besides sing their hearts out for us.
@Taco Googled killdeer and was very disappointed not to find a bird attacking an animal 200 times its size.
