My morning guests

Every morning I can hear the loud chirping of the birds. They are not playing but eating. Yes, their current favorite is the guavas that have ripe fruits every day. It is nice to see the birds pecking on the ripe guavas. Unfortunately I couldn't take the picture while they are eating because once they see me, they will fly away.

Sorry you could not get the birds in the picture. Thank you for explaining what was going on in the picture.

@Hannihar the problem is how to get out of the house. I have to pass by the porch where they could see me.

@Alexandoy
All you can do is try and get them in the picture.
Can you get them without them knowing you are there?

Perhaps you should put a bowl of water nearby so the birds can drink as well.

What I do is to wet the trees. After watering the garden, that's when those little rascals would come. Maybe they are also drinking the water on the leaves.

@Alexandoy perhaps.
A good idea would be to put up a bird feeder.. That will be a great help to your morning visitors.

@allen0187 I actually was thinking of that a long time ago but I always forget.

Nature designed it that way so their droppings with seeds would produce and spread new trees. Too bad they choose the ripe ones because the seeds are ready to germinate[

@Alexandoy they are just harvesting what they planted and sharing the rest with us

@louievill yes, it is just like that way. That's why for me, it is okay when they eat the fruits.

I guess it is good that they eat the ripe ones so they can spread the seeds. That guava tree was planted by the birds. It just grew there in that location.

It is 5:30 am and the town is very noisy with the birds because it rained last night and the ground is wet, the grass is wet, the leaves of the plants and trees are wet. It is like a holiday to them.

@thelme55 sorry if noise is a wrong description. Maybe what I should say is loud sound?

@Alexandoy That is noise for you? 
That is a song for me as I love the chirping of birds.

looks like they really enjoyed the free breakfast! Perhaps you should hang a sign, Guava for patrons of Alex's breakfast shack only!

The guava tree is half inside the fence and half outside. Some neighbors also pick the ripe fruits sometimes. But I have noticed the fruits that the bird eats are those on the higher branches,

@DocAndersen the printer of the tarpaulin is closed so maybe I will have a big sign printed with a small print at the bottom... suggested by Doc Andersen.

More likely the guava is their breakfast because they attack the fruits in the early morning.

They were gone when I took the picture. They always leave half of the fruit.

There is one bird here called Pipit. Always 2 of them would be chirping loudly and continuously while pecking on the flowers of the star fruit. It would be great if I could capture them in a video.

I envy those birds. Guavas are one of my favorites especially the ripe ones! Poor me.
