I love the sound cowbirds make.

The doves can drive you crazy with their cooing.

I love the mockingbirds.

The woodpeckers attack my house when their feeder is empty. Once it is full again they go back to eating and ignoring me.

The hummers run into people when they're fighting. They've even hit my dogs while going at it over territory. The hummers will often end up rolling on the ground while locked into battle.

It's a little wild out back.
