Here is another picture I took today that desperately needs a caption. Help me out y’all! Whoever gives the best caption gets a million euro virtual pat on the back and the undying admiration of my blogging and FB community. (Thought: What would dying admiration look like? Probably the euro.)
What do you think s/he is saying? (G-rated only please. :-))

I may come up with more, but here’s my first attempt.
“Uuh… how do you use this thing?”
🙂
Cracked me up because he actually drank out of the flowerheads!!
Whoa! He figured it out?! Cool.
Not sure how much he got, but he sure had his head stuck in there.
Probably pretty thirsty with the time of year and all. Do you have a bird bath?
Yes, I have a small one for them to drink. To keep the dog out of it, I put in a circular rack I use to cool bread. Fits perfectly and still allows them to drink.
You talkin’ to me??
🙂
Semi-Dry, with a slight after-taste of melons and raspberries!
Ha!!!
Forgeddaboutit Hummers – I’m bigger than you are!
🙂 Such a bully!
Can I get fries with that?
Great!
This diet stuff tastes just like real nectar!
Ha! Good one!
“Do Rio if you want; I’m spending the winter right here.”
🙂 Good one! Another government handout.
What’s a gal gotta do to get a little publicity around here?
That worked!!! 🙂
“squirrel !!!”
Where? 🙂 So this is the proverbial standing on a chair.
That’s a good one!!
“I haven’t been here a minute and somebody’s already taking my pic? Looks like a drab place but there’s got to be a grub, huh?” 😉 peace, Ms. Lily!
The papparazi! 🙂
The young ladies ask, “Will it make me fat?”
The young males wonder, “Will this put hair on my chest?”
Probably true! 🙂 Do you know which this is?
I have to admit, I don’t know. This time of year is bad for determining gender. Most young look like females, regardless if boy or girl. I see a hint of red on the front, but I cannot tell if that is the bird itself or reflection from the feeder.
I assume it is a sparrow, though, right?
Nope, a House Finch. I really like those birds. Their breeding season is over as they’re not singing any more. I miss it. The females did some singing of their own, which I find fascinating as most often it’s only the male bird who sings.
When we had the young sparrows with dad, it was easy, but as they grew and there were a lot of HFs, too, I started to get confused as to which was which. Thanks for the clarification.
It is pretty easy to tell them apart regardless of age. House sparrows regardless of age will never have streaks on their front, but yet house finches will. House sparrow females/juves will have the pail eyeline, House finches will not.
ACH! I should have reread this. My internal thesaurus was turned off…
Nah, that’s not what he’s saying. 🙂
No, that’s what I was saying…
He was saying, “What? Made in China?”
(Sorry, just came back from the organic-free zone known as Wal Mart. )
The bummer is, it probably was made in China–the feeder that is. But I brewed the nectar myself! 🙂
“Hey. You in there. Would you bring me something to go along with this nectar?”
Ah, he spotted me. It was a trap! 🙂
“hold your horses, I’m coming…” (I figure someone is waiting for him to hurry up, but he’s taking just one more sip!)
🙂 Interesting for a bird to refer to horses. He may be having a bigger identity crisis than I thought.
It happens!
😀
I have two..
I asked for lemon
or
Can I get a straw, please?
🙂 Lemon can give you salmonella in these open air restaurants!
Straw? Now that’s funny!
‘The table is set, beautiful flowers, our favorite drink. Where is he?’
Ha! Good one.
he is thinking this is actually a super duper pooper scooper
Maybe since he is young and naive. 🙂
