What birds have you seen eat hornworms?
Comments (23)If the tomato hornworms are caught before they're to huge, I feed them to the lizards which really love them. Just put them on a plate or on a brick and out of nowhere along comes hungry IPM lizard from the crew just like the chicken in the vid. I guess that doesn't qualify as birds, but the lizards strangely looks like a bird when eating them. I think the ducks are a good bet too. Since birds are in short supply when you need them and lizards aren't around in the morning when I try to work, the only dependable things that will make them disappear are the red ants. Drop one on their anthill and they swarm and bite it everywhere at once and the internal fluids bead on the outside of the caterpillar's skin until it is paralyzed, and turns whitish as it is stung and sucked dry, and then the carcass is dragged and disappears down the anthill. A pretty ferocious thing to do but as I look at the stripped damage on the mater plants and fruits there isn't much charity towards these caterpillar beasts... Cheers PC...See MoreWhat bird is this?
Comments (6)Yep, colours work out. Today I had the male show up too. Both birds are walking very diligently through my flower bed in search of seeds. They make quite a different sound when startled....See MoreWhat birds are these?
Comments (4)Hey, those are native plants (out of focus) behind those birds :) Well, maybe they are...depending on where you are....See MoreShould I assume this is a bird nest and if so, what bird?
Comments (4)I'm going to take a shot at my own question after just now finding a similar post from 7 years ago... also in a propane tank, same kind of materials. Consensus was Carolina wrens -- which I love, and which have been around a great deal. Do others agree? Carolina wrens?...See Morekiplor
