5 Backyard Birds That Are Total Divas (And We Love Them Anyway)

Birds can be sassy, dramatic, and straight-up high-maintenance. Here are five that bring the attitude—
and make birdwatching way more fun.

1. Blue Jay
   Loud, bossy, and not above stealing peanuts from squirrels. Basically the Regina George of the bird
   world.
2. Northern Mockingbird
   Sings all day and all night. Has no chill. Will also dive-bomb you if you look at their nest wrong.
3. Red-winged Blackbird
   Flies around yelling “CONK-LA-REE” like it’s announcing its presence on a red carpet.
4. House Wren
   Tiny but feisty. They’ll destroy other birds’ nests just for fun. Pure drama queen energy.
5. Hummingbirds
   Adorable? Yes. Chill? Never. They guard feeders like it’s Fort Knox and fight mid-air battles over sugar
   water. Want to get a close up of these tiny divas? Check out this Perky-Pet Smart Bird Feeder with

So yes, they’re divas—but your yard would be boring without them.
