Itty-Bitty Birdie Butts

It must be a slow day in the Land of Blog.
Am I getting desperate for subject matter, or what?
I started this post last winter one day when I was snowed in and never finished it.
The little birdies were just going crazy at the feeders.



My camera was set on continuous mode where you just hold down the shutter and let 'er rip.
I captured many different postures...but...these are special. (pun intended)


After going through the photos and catching many of them with their backsides to the camera,
I realized that our fine feathered friends just have the cutest little rear ends!


Seriously...have you ever noticed how cute their little butts are?


They are just adorable, don't you think?


And they never have to worry about what to wear...


I mean do you think a little birdie ever asks this question...


"Do these feathers make my butt look big?"

I think not.


Ah...such is the life of a bird!


So inspiration for a blog post can come from just about anywhere and anything...




...even from itty-bitty birdie butts :)


THE END

Have a good week!


Today I'm joining Maggie's...

    Hahahaha...I have noticed this about birds: they always seem to turn just as the camera clicks. So I have lots of bird bums in my folders, too. None this good and clear, though.

    Loved this post! It's true that a blogger can be inspired by just about anything, however do you think these little feathered friends might trying to tell you to "butt out, we're busy here"!
    Thanks for bringing this light hearted story to MM this week.

    Oh, the life of a bird! They truly do not worry about one, single thing! Our Heavenly Father provides all they need, and He sees each time one of them falls to the ground. How much more does He love you and me? Thank you for sharing the amazing photos. What kind of camera do you use? They are always so beautiful. Have a great day!

    What an adorable post, Debby! We have a bird feeder off our back deck and we get a lot of birds, too. I take photos of them through our back door so as to not scare them away. Yes, they do have some cute birdie butts. ;)

    I loved this post for so many reasons. You made me laugh, I love birds, I miss having bird feeders (we can't where we live now) and mostly because the other person in this house gives me such a hard time about all the 'butt shots' I get ... he was watching an osprey through binoculars the other day and as I raised the camera (according to him) the bird deliberately turned his 'back' on us. Ha ha -- I'm glad I'm not the only one that happens to!

    I think you win the award for the most innovative post, Debby! This is just too stinkin' cute! I have quite a few pictures of my hens as they peck and scratch, and many captures have included the rear, lol! I had not ever thought of posting those like you have. Your pictures are amazing and clear! Amazing that you are able to take this many pictures from inside without the birds getting scared. Enjoyed this post with a big smile on my face today :) Hugs to you!

    A beautiful array of birdies going about their daily business, who couldn't care less about the size of their butts (unlike some other species!). Adorable shots, Debby!

    I never tire of looking at your bird pictures, Debby. It's so funny because I just sent you an e-mail right now about the bird I saw at the park today, and wondered what it was? Then, I come over and see your wonderful bird post. And the red cardinal, oh my, isn't he a beautiful one! Your bird feeders are really busy with all these sweet birds coming to you to say hello.

    Happy February, Debby!

    I had to laugh, I had the very same thought. I take so many pictures and seldom post the butt ends. They are so cute though, you made me realize that I really should show some because, well I just want to fluff them. Especially the little ones. So adorable. Thank you for the permission to show birdie bums. Luv Janice
