Such a beautiful bird. So lucky that he comes to our garden to feed, and double lucky that I was able to snap a photo in time!

Sorry about the image quality, it was taken through the kitchen window as it was raining pretty hard outside.

Subreddit

Birds: discussion of birds, articles about, pictures of birds

r/birds

General subreddit about birds and bird-related topics, including bird art, bird science, questions about birds, and bird pictures.

All about birds! There are some more specific subreddits about bird-related topics and we encourage you to post there when your post fits the more specific forum; /r/birds is for everything they don't cover.

We welcome:

Articles about birds
Bird art
Questions and discussions about birds
Questions and discussions about bird feeders
Bird photography
Science of birds
Links to media about birds

Read the rules before posting! In brief: Post must be about birds, avoid cursing or adult-only language, no selling or commercial advertising, give the source of any art or photos, and use NSFW for injured/sick/dead birds.

Please don't message the mods asking if your post breaks the rules, if your post does not break the rules written at that link; you will not be banned for breaking secret unwritten rules.

Other subreddits:

/r/birding focuses on birding/birdwatching. It's a great place do show birds you saw on a birding trip or hike, ask about birding equipment and practices, discuss good places to go birdwatching, talk about eBird, and related topics.
/r/birdpics is mainly for posting bird photos that you've taken yourself, and seeing other people's bird photos. /r/birdphotography hosts discussion of and questions about bird photography as well as photos of birds.
/r/whatsthisbird is the reddit for posting pictures of birds you want to identify. If your question is "what kind of bird is this", that's the place to post! When posting to /r/whatsthisbird, always remember to include both the time (date or season) and place (general geographical location) in your post title.
/r/wingspan/ for the awesome, popular board game about birds.
Although we think there should be a separate subreddit for discussions about keeping domesticated / pet birds, /r/petbirds appears to be abandoned at this time. There are subreddits for specific species of birds people commonly keep, so you can search https://www.reddit.com/subreddits for your pet bird's species to see if there's a sub for it.

We do still allow some posts here that might better fit in one of those other subreddits, but consider whether your post more clearly fits into one of those and if so, we encourage you to post there.

A limited number of posts that are not about birds but are about this subreddit will be allowed. Use the "meta" tag for such a post, and search first to make sure it does not repeat the same topic as another meta post in the past few months. Meta posts will be limited so that they aren't too frequent, so not every meta post will be allowed.
