Very brave birds!!!

My lucky dogs got some delicious chicken for breakfast this morning, and I always feed it to them outside. So I fed them their
chicken and went inside to give Sasha her kibble, when I looked out the window and saw a couple of very brave birdies. Of course I ran to get my camera, but I took the pictures through the glass door, as I didn't want to risk scaring the birds away.

I drew arrows so you could pic out the birds a little easier.

I couldn't believe just how close these ballsy magpies were getting!!

Clipse finished his breakfast first and noticed these beggars. So he decided to run them off....or maybe he just wanted desert?

LOL! The crows and starlings are the same way around here. They'll try to sneak in for a quick steal.

The little black capped chickadees here are the most spunky little birds. When I open the door to take the dogs out, Tasha races towards the feeders to gleefully chase away any birds or squirrels or bunnies that might be around, but I swear within 30 seconds the chickadees are back and making their little fussing noise and flying to the feeders to grab a seed. They will get just a few feet away from both people and dogs. So cute.

I live in Central Minnesota and haven't seen magpies here but I think they are further north. They are very pretty birds.
