Songbirds

Four to six years on average.

If you live in the western US, I would suggest a Steller's Jay. We answer questions from around the world, so knowing where you are seeing this bird is crucial to correctly identifying it. Knowing its size would also help.

Where did you see it? Like, area in the world or state. It was at my bird feeder in my yard In the outskirts of Hillsdale Mi. in the country.

the state bird is the cardinal and the flower is the flowering dogwood.

Check field guide for male rose breasted grosbeak, if you observed it in North America.

If the black is the crown of the head, and you can notice a patch of red under the tail when it takes off, it is a catbird.

I think, its the Blue Tit...i'm not sure though.

A brown bird, with white outer tail feathers in the male, and streaked coloration. Tiny feet and beak, but a wide mouth for catching insects on the wing.

black-capped chickadees (chickadees) are found in Canada and the USA

i wouldn't if i were you, but as far as i know if the bird is caused no unnesacery pain then its ok. but i'd look into it a bit more. =]

don't do it man!

Your description is unfortunately fairly vague - it would help if you could give the approximate size of the bird, whereabouts you saw it (habitat, region of the US/world), what it was doing, etc.

However, based on your description, I would assume it is a Northern Flicker. If you look for it in a field guide, it is with the woodpeckers.

maybe a gyrfalcon

Sparrows have a little bit of red. Not much.

Well that would be the ones I hunt and shoot in the head! lol

A male goldfinch fits that desciption, but only the top of the head is black.

Yolo. that is a bird that is very rare and can only be found on the very point off Australia, Queensland. The name Yolo originated from an old quote saying 'You only live once." The brid only every has one baby and it only lives for 1 week.

The delicate Goldfinch has beauty and charm in abundance. This small finch is strikingly colourful with its mixture of red, white and black on the head, golden brown body and bright yellow wing bars. Looking more closely, the lores and crown are black, the chin and forehead are red and the cheeks are white. The body is predominantly golden or tawny brown, but the belly and rump are white. The wings are mostly black with a large striking yellow band. The bill varies from pinkish to pale grey, and the legs are flash coloured.

The simplest food is commercial canary egg-biscuit food (from a pet store), and canary mix - you can help the bird a little by soaking some in hot water for a few hours.

Florence nightingale professioned in nursing but she also helped make hospitals more sanitary and clean, and what she learned from she father William Edward nightingale she invented a pie chart so she was very good at math. during the Russian war most soldiers were killed in the hospitals by the unsanitary things they would give the soldiers so Florence nightingale changed that.

Most birds are able to keep warm because their feathers are very insulating. Also, their nests are wonderful places to go when they would like to huddle up to get toasty warm! And keep in mind that when the weather gets too cold, many birds fly to warmer climates.

The number 42 was worn by Jackie Robinson and is retired throughout major league baseball. Only older players, such as Mariano Rivera on the Yankees still wear the number 42 since they wore it before it was retired.

This year however for some reason all blue jays are wearing the number 42... I would like to know why :S

They weigh about 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 milligrams

Mockingbirds lay 2 to 6 eggs. They hatch in 11 to 13 days.

Named by resolution rather than bill, the measure does not appear in the North Dakota Century Code as codified law, the Northern Pike (Esox lucius) is North Dakota's state fish in 1971.
