Cardinals are seed/fruit eaters, so that helps with conflict with the Bluebirds.
Yeah the bluebirds eat the bugs and worms (I throw meal worms all over the ground) and the Cardinals just obliterate our suet cakes. They'll be a few feet from each other for long periods of time and flying around each other and don't mind.
I shot a crow last year with a bb gun and it's family came back in a full murder
. I think it held a grudge. Tried to get some bluebird fledglings that had just jumped out of the box. Posted on 3/11/24 at 4:13 pm to CatfishJohn
Crows will hold a grudge. They'll remember your face and pass it down to every future generation making sure they know that you are a sworn enemy. You're going to have to make amends....a beer top, a new dime, and a medium McDonald's fry should do it.
Cool birds, but vindictive for sure.

a pair of crows built a nest in one of the pecan trees last week...i saw one of them in it, then they just abandoned it...i found one of their eggs on the ground under the tree yesterday...it had been pecked open, but it didn't look like the contents were eaten, so i put it near the crawfish mounds that my handicapped raccoon friend likes to raid

Or I kill one and hang it's body for all to see as warning. Like the Romans. I choose violence.

I don't know if this should be a children's book or a feature length film.

at the end of january, i found a raccoon's lower jaw out near the pond...i was sure that it was "rocket", and i was really bummed out...but he turned back up for food about a week later, so i'm guessing what i found was from some roadkill that a turkey vulture dropped...

This thread has cheered my heart. Birds seem to make the mornings and the world a better place.

When we first moved back to Tennessee, I planted a lot of shrubs to attract butterflies. Found lots of butterfly wings, no bodies, and a well fed bluebird just waiting for the next meal.
On the other side of the house, the rear view mirror on our car was covered with bird shite. A blue bird was keeping a competitor away. So we cleaned up the car for the nth time and started putting a pillow case over the rear view mirror.
They are neat birds best lived with at a distance.

Have you ever taken a blacklight flashlight outside at night in your area?

Took this pic of my favorite birds on Sunday. (Smart Birds)
Pelicans waiting for fish scraps at the harbor
Pelicans gliding are so beautiful

When you say "on my back patio", what exactly do you mean? Eastern Bluebirds are cavity-nesters, they nest in nest boxes or old woodpecker holes etc.

Eastern African Cock-A-Poo. Tends to be aggressive.

Why do you ask this?

A bunch of stuff, more than we know, can fluoresce under black light. Flying squirrels glow pink.
Some mushrooms do. A bunch of different caterpillars glow under black light.
Lichens of many types glow. We don't really know what all things in nature can fluoresce because we can't see that light/color naturally, and we haven't thought to shine a black light on them. We don't really know why some things do, like the flying squirrel. Some other animals can see it, but we can't without a black light.
If you have access to oak trees, they are the perfect thing to shine a black light on. They are hosts to more than a thousand different moths and butterflies. In a couple months when they are leafed out good and it has warmed up enough, get a black light flashlight and shine it into the canopy. You can see some of the caterpillars glowing.
