A Little Friday Dialogue

~American Goldfinch~

"Hey, Tweetie!  Do you think that woman with the camera will ever move us into first place?  You know, she's always saying that Bluebirds are her favorite bird."

~Female Goldfinch~

"Don't talk with your mouth full!  I heard her say just the other day that we were probably in second place.  I think we should at least be tied for first because we sit still longer for her to get a shot.  Oh, well.  As long as she keeps this feeder filled, I won't complain.  So, hurry up and let's finish eating and go sky-tripping." 

Have a wonderful weekend!
Until next time...

    I can't believe you have some talking birds at your house...and they eat with their mouth full too...I adore your pictures, only problem I was left wishing I could get those close ups, need a better lens I think...come on over and you will see some talkers on my sidebar..I'll be back again...

    Cheryl- Those are some of the most amazing bird pictures I have ever seen. I don't know what type of camera you have but it takes a pro to use any kind of camera to get shots like that! Amazing. Who needs Twitter when you have Tweeters like that? xo Diana

    How cute !
    I am not surprised at the captions that you came up with. It does seem like they are having an actual conversation. It is really nice of you that you not only give them bird seeds you are actually sharing their beauty with all of us. Thanks:)

    It is hard to pick favorites between those two birdies. They're both so pretty.

    I had finches for pets growing up. So I'm kind of partial. But it's your decision.

    Great pics! I find the brighter the bird the more nervous they are when I raise my camera. You did a great job getting up close and personal!

    Sweet conversation with the goldfinches. I love them. They would be # 1 as we don't get bluebirds and chickadees would be # 2. Enjoy the weekend. Pam

    I've never thought of who's first on my birdie list -- we don't have bluebirds, so I imagine the goldfinches would win out here. Cute post!

    Cute dialog. Goldfinches are Washington State Bird. Strange that I don't see more of them since I live here.
