Common birds include wrens, sparrows, blackbirds, blue great coal and long-tailed tits, dunnocks, goldcrest, wood pigeons, egrets, herons, barn and tawny owls. Starlings, skylarks, great spotted woodpeckers, I saw a green woodpecker in my garden once, never again.
The Robins get a special mention, my garden Robin will feed from my hand and bang on the window if I forget to put food out.
I live on an estate where they have a shoot so pheasants are everywhere and partridges too.
Oh yeah, buzzards. Jackdaws, crows, rooks.
And my African grey parrot who I see most commonly of all. That also answers the caged animal question even if she's usually on her cage rather than in it.
How is your singing voice?
