So that it can eat the insects and worms you dig up.

Ravens and all birds are considered to be messengers. As I speak there are 4 outside picking up the deer corn. Do I consider this a message. No. But last year one came and sat on the top of the gazebo and wouldn't shut up. Very annoying. About an hour later the phone rang. My daughter had just been rushed into the hospital in premature labor. What's really great about the ravens is they have a plan. About 10 or more get together and each has it's own job. One takes one road and the other ones have thier own road to monitor. When one finds food, they call to the next one, which calls to the next one and pretty soon all of them are there eating. Owls on the other hand are considered messengers of death or soon to be dead. So watch those hooters. Oh, and usually if you see an eagle, a raven is not far away. Well, where I live anyway. I just answered this ? yesterday. Now as i sit here typing, there's a Bald Eagle sitting out on the ice in front of our house. And inching closer. The only thing I can figure is, the ravens were here yesterday eating. If he's bringing a messenger... This has never happened before. Maybe I should go out there. Oh...he's walking this way!! For true.

Often.  They are, after all, going to drop seeds in one form or another.  And the conditions are good there for that tree, so others will live there also.\n\nAnd the tree serves as a focal point for so many other things.  Squirrels and birds will bring food, (seeds) to the vicinity.\n\nWind tends to swirl around a tree, dropping airborne seeds in the area.  \n\nSome trees can promulgate through runners, creating off spring near by.

Birds make nests on the ground in low bushes and shrubs.  They benefit from the protection without hurting the shrubs and bushes

Depends on the bird. Some settle down for the night alone, or on a nest. I assume you're talking about big flocks of birds like blackbirds and crows. Some of them look for a spot to roost together because of safety in numbers. They may fly all over at dusk to round up everybody and then fly to whereever they decide is a safe spot to spend the night.

Well, being Florida born and raised, My first reply would have to be a Raccoon. If I spelled it right. They will eat almost every thing. They usualy only come out at night.My second thought is that the feces and the garden thief may be 2 diff. animals. The feces with the fibers may be from an Owl or other large predatory bird that eats mice and other rodents, hence the fur or hair in the feces. Their are dogs that are known for being veg. thieves, my dog was a huge veg. thief. It may also be a Gopher tortoise which is unlikely. The coon is prob. your culprit. However, this makes for a nice lil bit of an investigation....right????  So, what ever animal it is, be happy it has brought a little more excitement into your life. Don't rule out the occasinal fox as well, they are known to visit garbage cans in down town Chicago and New York,  so are the coons.

Since you said you really like him. I would think you should let yourself be madly in love with him and just keep in some contact with the bird that is still on the tree. You would just rethink about the situation in 3- 6 month down the road whether you want to continue with the bird in hand.

If it's a medium-sized, rather ugly mottled black/brown bird that congregates in the evenings to form a roost community then it may be grackles.  They have no song, just a rather raucous squawking call and when they gather by the hundreds in the trees nearby, they are a nuisance of the first order.  Much worse than pidgeons.  We have them in Texas and I believe that at different times of the year they plague most of the US.

Those annoying birds are probably American Coots.\n\nIn southern California the golf courses have a history of hiring a hunter to remove the birds when they become a problem.

Only about 2 weeks.  A mating pair of robins might have two or three different "clutches" of eggs over a season, so they can raise two or three families a season.\n\nThese links should help you.

Oh' they can definitely distinguish people. Anyone that owns a bird can tell you that. If someone besides me gets near my parrot, watch out!

Hi, if the tree roots are damaging your property (this includes the garden) technically it is classed as trespassing as it is on your property and it is also causing a nuisance.  The council should act if they own the tree or it is on their property.  Tell them you have rights under tort for nuisance under the occupiers liability acts.  Speak to the planning department.  PS This is not legal advice.

in wicca/witchcraft...a dead bird in your yard is a bad thing.  Wiccans believe in nature.  If Nature choose to die at your doorstep, that means drastic changes/possibly death is coming to you.  FYI when a broom falls for no reason, it means company is coming.

Yes, Robins do fly south for the winter.  Robins that hang around Minnesota might only fly as far south as Illinois for the winter.  Robins in Illinois might only fly as far south as Tennessee for the winter, and so on.

where in the flying $^%*&#$ did you find a 30 POUND ROBIN?? \nusually any cat can kill a robin - but it sounds like you live in some kind of nuclear wasteland where mutants run rampant. I would get a lion.

I have an iguana and birds, when I'm depressed I get out my iguana from his house and he lets me pet him to my hearts content,but any pet will do, don't be surprised if they come to you, animals do sense when you are feeling blue, depressed, crying, or this just isn't your day. I had my birds come to me and sit on me when I lost one of my iguanas a few months ago, her death really hit me hard, they stayed close for 2 days. There's nothing like a pet's love to you during that time.

Sometimes the questions are better than other times. This is a better question.  Baby squirrels and baby birds also do not leave the nest until they are able to fend for themsleves. And they grow up very fast. I do not know how long it takes a squirrel to grow up, but a baby robin learns to fly in 13 days. Immagine that!!!
