Feathered Friends: Show Me A Photo #SMaP Contest Round 154

The great tit with its green and yellow body and lovely glossy black head and white cheeks.

Just like the robin, they can be quite aggressive around food chasing off other birds.

In the countryside, pheasants are quite a common sight, very colourful with a long tail. Sadly, between 1st October and 1st February pheasant shooting takes place in certain areas. Not sure how they can kill such a beautiful bird.

It wouldn't be the same without a robin visiting the bird feeding station. Along with the great tit, this one was helping itself to the pink and white suet pellets.

This is my entry to the #SmaP Show me a photo of a bird - free theme - Round 154.

The male bullfinch has a bright pinkish-red breast and cheeks, a grey back, black cap, and tail, with a bright white bum!

Thank you to @nelinoeva and the @featheredfriends team.

Oustanding photos! The robin is sooo cute. 🙂
Pheasants are so beautiful indeed. It is sad how they are shot during the hunting season along with other birds.

Thank you. I will never understand how they can do it. I'd rather shoot them with my camera. 🙂

Each capture is superb, beauty in all birds!

Pink and white suet pellets remind me of sweets we bought when young, not sure if they still around, thumbnail with those pellets captured my eye (Oh so did the Robin), had to find out what you feeding there.

Thank you. Yes, I chose the thumbnail because the pellets looked like sweets from my youth. 😁

Oh, so I am not the only one that remembers those delicious little treats we seldom got 😂

Each photograph excellently taken, Pheasant are stunning in beauty, I suppose some enjoy eating them as a delicacy much like our Guineafowl or Ostrich, also healthier meat most times.

I think it's because I'm a vegetarian so I want to save them all. 🙂

Plants have feelings so it would be difficult for me to go down that road, good balanced meal no changing now.
