| | Bird Neighbors - Chapter I |
 | | These birds rest lengthwise on their perch while sleeping through the brightest daylight hours, or on the ground, where they nest. | | | The one representative of the distinctly American subfamily of gnatcatchers (Polioptilinae) that we have, is a small blue-gray bird, whitish below. | | | When not flying they choose slender, conspicuous perches like telegraph wires, gutters, and eaves of barns. |

| | Fledglings are older birds who have fledged – that is, left the nest. | | | A nest may contain babies of varying ages, with some that are still highly dependent and an older bird that is ready to leave the nest. | | | Many times it is the nesting habits of birds that get them in trouble or at least raise questions with homeowners. |

| | The Risks of Rope Perching In the Bird Flight |
| | Up to this point I had been using a wild scattershot approach- pulling out any bird that acted like a plucker, removed all the toys, put in new toys so no one else will be tempted to pluck, changed the type of rope used, clipped everyone*s nails- I did everything and nothing. | | | Many breeders address the need for housing of their flocks by building their own flights from various materials and in an amazing assortment of configurations, all of which have their own pros and cons. | | | The typical manufactured cage is relatively safe- provided correct bar spacing and other concerns are properly addressed- but impractical for the breeder of even a moderate number of birds. |

| | Passerine |
| | A major branch of the passerine tree, the Passerida (or sparrow-like forms), emerged either as the sister group to another (the Corvida, or crow-like birds), or more likely as a subgroup of the Corvida, and reached the northern hemisphere, where there was a further explosive radiation of new species. | | | More than half of all species of bird are passerines. | | | Sometimes known as perching birds or, less accurately, as songbirds, the passerines are one of the most spectacularly successful vertebrate orders: with around 5,400 species, they are roughly twice as diverse as the most successful of the mammal orders, the Rodentia. |
