Comment on Wings of Flame by illmatar
Heh. Around here it's the doves that do most of the bullying. We also have a mockingbird who doesn't even use the feeder but thinks our yard is all his. You might have some females around though...they look nothing at all like the males.
I know the females are quite plain. I saw only one female. They have the whole cattail patch now. I don't see HER at the feeders though. 
Doves...I call them Hawk Bait. They're so "tame" they waddle out of your way and eye you weirdly. No wonder the feathers in our yard is usually Mourning Dove feathers.
They sit there on the branches like nothing will pick them off. Heh we have a nest of redtails, so they better watch it...

Doves are dumb. When everything else flies away they just sit there going "huh?" It must work for them though...they are everywhere!
