The males are starting to get their colors, and the females are fighting over the bird feeder. I guess the males are too.

I can still hear, "Look! There's a red bird." When I was just a toddler, she purchased a group of three red birds to hang on the wall. From what I understood, she saved up the money to get them. While in the process of hanging them, little Renda pick up one.....well, you can guess the rest of the story. I'm now the owner of that glued together red bird.
