We lived in Houston for 15 years. In the summer you don't go out at night because of the mosquitoes.

Here in Indiana, too. I put out a great bug zapper on my porch last year, and that really helps. It must be annoying for the neighbors, because at dusk it is zapping non-stop, and not much better though the night. So much so I had to take out the bug catch at the bottom, and just let them fall to the ground. I was emptying it every morning chock full of all kinds of bugs.


Here's a video I took of the neighborhood last summer -

 
I have these little black birds with red torsos in my yard and in the trees. They are so ballsy that it surprises me. They will land and hop right up to you. I was blowing leaves off the concrete yesterday and one was coming right up to my ankles many times, the fearlessness freaked me out. I kept turning the noisy blower on him, and he would back up, but not fly away. Like, 'come at me, bro!' What are these little crazy fuckers called?

That's them. Robins, thanks. Are all of them like this???

Oh, I guess so. Fascinating.


Yes, robins are often described as brave birds due to their territorial nature and willingness to defend their nests, even against larger predators. They are known for fiercely guarding their territories and food sources, which showcases their resilience and courage.

Here's a more detailed look at why they are considered brave:
  • Territoriality:
    Robins are fiercely territorial, particularly during breeding season, and will aggressively defend their nesting areas. They have been observed fighting other robins, and even larger animals, in defense of their territory
  • Adaptability:
    Some robins, known as "brave robins," even overwinter in place rather than migrating south, demonstrating their ability to adapt to harsh conditions.
  • Food Source Defense:
    They are known to be loyal to their food sources and will aggressively defend them from other birds or animals.
  • Curiosity and Approachability:
    While territorial, robins are also curious and can become quite friendly with humans, sometimes even eating from hands

They have a nest close by, if you can find it the blue eggs are a sight. then watch for fuzzy peepers as parents pull worms from your lawn. fun to watch

The bitch has no excuse. I live in the same city and we all know what robins are around here. Maybe he is a secret member of #birdsarefake o.o

Yep. Raised in Manhattan, then moved right to inner-city Chicago. Nature is new to me, I've always tried to avoid it. I hate camping and most forest type activities. No bugs and dirt for this city kid ;)
