A blackbird flew in the other week. I caught it before it hurt itself or my stuff and tossed it back outside. Now I swear I keep catching it inside the doorway a little. It sounds kinda bird racist but I can't tell it apart from other blackbirds, aside from it's female/brown. I read that patting a birds head is a bit sexy for them, maybe I've got a blackbird admirer, she probably only wants me for me bread/cheese crumbs.
Bird racist! Bird racist!
I reckon I'm doing well if I can identify the breed, let alone individual bird friends.
It was probably a raven.
The head is the safe pat zone. Stay away from the back and wings or the tail lest you end up with a possessive hormonal bird
