Aww,, really. We have a feeder, interesting to watch! Its a long trip for birds to fly from Alaska to northern Mexico without sleep when migrating!


I can't imagine not getting any sleep.  I wouldn't be able to do that without a nap at least.


Its just so far for a bird. Nature is a wonder! Like the extinct dodo bird. Now when I think of it, I can see the why its a sub-family of the pigeon.


I can see that resemblance also.  When I got to outdoor concerts, which can be like an amphitheater, you can see plenty of birds.


The outside ones, if you buy popcorn they will try and get it.  I love to go to outdoor concerts. Some of the ones I have been to have fireworks also. Lots of fun!!


Yes they are fun!  In Croatia, they still use an ancient roman amphitheater for concert venues!


That would be impressive to go to. I would love that! Some of the performers have to play a lot of gigs each year, it can be non-stop for them.


Yes that has to be fun, but tiring!  The Ramones played 2,263 concerts non stop for over 20 years!


Tha's is a lot. Some performers have toured for over 30 years and still doing it. Recording in the roman amphitheater in Pompeii would be interesting! Good chat!!


I am more of an SUV type myself.  Though they say part of the definition of a car is one that can sit 1 to 8 people. So that seems like it can hold enough for me to have a car.


Yes, that sounds right. Isn't it interesting that Mcdonalds added the drive thru because soldiers were not allowed to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues.


I didn't know that!  Another fun little fact is it is actually legal in South-Africa to have a flame thrower right on their car to prevent carjacking.  That's pretty scary.


Yes that is pretty scary!  On a lighter note though, birds are also known as Aves.  Never heard of that term though.


No, I haven't either. I love to watch birds! There so colorful and make different sounds. I like the humming birds, how smart are  to use spiderwebs to repair their nests.


That makes me feel better about spiderwebs than!  Hummingbirds are one of the smallest ones out there!  The bee hummingbird is only 2 inches long!


I know, they are so cute with their fast fluttering wings. I didn't realize birds bones are so hollow that they weigh less than the feathers. But it makes sense.


did you know in the 1700s there was a moral panic about how many poeople were reading books haha


that is a good idea, have you seen Starship troopers? that movie is violent but its based on a book, and apparently that is also on the militarys reading list


I have not! It seems like an interesting adaptation though. I should get the book on Amazon, they seem to have invested a lot into the reading experience.


ya, did you know that the owner of amazon built a clock in a mountain? apparently it will run for 10,000 years


Wow, that's some type of innovation for sure! He seems to care a lot about improvement, they actually have a separate website just for returned items to sell!


that is crazy, one of my favorite things about amazon is that they deliver packages on sunday now, which is awesome


They certainly are committed to the user experience, even their name is meant to imply they have everything from "A" to "Z".


ya that actually makes sense, it's crazy that an amazon warehouse worker can talk about 15 miles a day just for work, thats a workout!


Poor guys! Anything for the best product I guess right? They even got a patent on 1-click buying, that doesn't even seem allowed.


ya I'm shocked that exists, I think it's crazy that amazon owns imdb, I didn't know that, they are buying up everything


Oh I'm sure they are, they're stepping out of their lane all the time, they even developed their own font!


Hi! No I didn't, that's interesting. Are you a huge book person?


that is impressive, also impressive is the first person who bought a product from amazon, he got a building named after himself


no I'm not personally, I listen to a lot of audiobooks though, I think reading is boring what about you?


I think it certainly can be! The idea is interesting though, there's no concrete laws in reading.


ya, I tried to speed read once, I couldn't retain any information, it's crazy that the record for speed reading is 4700 words in a minute


But the thing is it's not a representation of intelligence! Andrew Johnson never even went to school yet was able to learn how to read.


that is crazy, have you seen the movie enders game? I guess it's on the recommended reading list of the marine corps, I didn't like the movie personally it seemed anti-military to me


No I haven't! I wouldn't even think they have a recommended list like that. Reading is surprising some times. It's definitely improved a lot too, in the middle ages silent reading wasn't even a thing!


ha it would be horrible, imagine going to a library to read but everyone was reading out lout! how could you concentrate?


Exactly! Good thing they didn't have those back then. Maybe libraries aren't the answers, an elementary school once replaced desks with "reading bicycles" and test scores were amazing.


Do you follow tennis much, or have a interest in the game?


If that were still true I might try to find something very big and light to use.  I think tennis is interesting as it is played on different surfaces, hard, grass and clay, and each has it's own style.


That is very interesting, and I'm sure players have their own personal preferences for each.


They do, Nadal rarely loses on clay, Federer rarely loses on grass.  The ball moves slower on clay and you can run after it more.


Very interesting, I would like to try to play on a clay court one day and then a grass one, see the difference for myself.


I've played a bit on concrete at the local park, but only for fun with the kids. My kids typically like electronic entertainment.


Oh yeah and especially kids these days i'm afraid are more and more electronic only entertainment.


My son loves his game console, an Xbox.  They are so much better then the old Nintendo's.


Oh yeah but those old nintendos with the 54 colors were tons of hours of fun!


It probably doesn't really matter how many colors you have, I was happy with Pong at the time and that had just 2.


Right, it's all about the gameplay and that type of thing, but I think kids would notice the lack of colors today.


Hello there, I don't follow too much but think it is a very exciting sport.  How about you?


I'm shocked that the Nintendo was discontinued as long ago as 2003, doesn't seem that long ago that it was the in thing.  Good talking to you.


Yeah and it was one heck of a run!  Nice talking to you as well, have a good day.


I have a passing knowledge and know some of the big names like Nadal, Federer and Murray.


Yeah those are some of the current greats, I heard Nadal injured his knee recently as well.


He is always hurting himself, I believe it is the way he plays, he runs so much more than some of the other players.


Yeah and at the age of 32 and still competing for titles, I say he has had a good career.


He still does very well, he is the current French Open champion, he hardly ever loses when he plays on clay courts.


That is very impressive, I think if you are still playing pro sports past your 20's you are doing pretty good.


He has always relied on his mobility as a player, he's not such a great player of the ball like Federer, but he will keep chasing it.


That is true.  Speaking of tennis, did you know that until 1978 a player was allowed to use any object as a racket?


No he was not but he is the only actor to have won the oscar 3 times


I would have thought that would be more common of an occurrence. I wonder if there will ever be a shift in what movies will win awards, Sandra Bullock was good in Birdbox but its one of those movies that wasn't in theaters and was free to watch with netflix


I have not seen it but have heard about it lots. Do you know Walt Disney ?


Walt Disney? Yeah of course! He was a legend in his era and to this day left a lasting legacy!


Thats pretty neat, the Disney company he helped create has grown so much, they also own ABC and ESPN. Both great TV and the disney movies have been a big part of my life growing up and today still


For sure. Even the Oscars were nominated for Emmy's in 2013. How does that work even


I think Oscars are for movies and Emmy's are for TV, Even though I don't really care for the Oscars it would be kind of neat to hold an Oscar, they are kind of neat Awards


I wish I knew alot more about birds, I think it would be alot of fun to go out and bird watch! seems like a good exercise and an interesting hobby


Howdy! Who doesn't like a good drama? I haven't been do the movies all that often this year though.


Yeah, I do bird watching from time to time and it is fun. Nice chatting with you


Every once in a while I see a bird and kind of wonder what that is or if it was a rare occurrence, enjoyed chatting!


How about the ones on TV? Did you watch House?


Oh yeah of course! I loved watching house, seemed like it was one of those shows that always had a really intriguing story going on.


Very much so. and Hugh Laurie made so much money for starring in it


Do you know if that show has won any awards? I've never really followed the Academy awards or other awards all that often.


I am not sure, likely it has. At least Hugh Laurie made $700 000 for every episode, not sure he cared about an award


Seems like every year there is always a big craze about what movie will win "Best Picture of the year" Like I said this year i've hardly seem any. You see any good movies this year?


I saw the Black Panther last year and that was amazing. Do you know Daniel Day Lewis?


Never heard of him, was he in the Black Panther movie? One of the movies I liked this year was Birdbox on netflix


Bruce Lee was so talented. He even won the hong kong cha-cha championship back in 1958! Man of many talents.


Wow! Who knew. Tesla model s runs linux. Fun fact!


I certainly didn't.  I like that they are heavily into solar energy.


They specialize in a lot that I didn't know about. Even powerpack batteries.


I didn't know about solar roof tiles. I thought solar was just for the cars.


You can use them for solar energy I think. Whats really interesting is that Fox news is watched more than cnn and msnbc combined. I would think CNN would be popular.


It is gaining in trust and popularity.  I had no idea that Richard Nixon had a hand in creating it.


That's neat. They broadcast in 86 countries!


I didn't know that either. Did you know they threatened to sue the Simpsons?


I didn't! Apparently they didn't like being parodied by them for anti-democractic party agenda.


Seems odd to sue them though. I mean, the Simpsons is a show on Fox which owns Fox News.  It seems like Fox could have just stopped them.


Bruce Lee was great! I loved his movies.  Michael Jackson was also talented.  He has patent on a device that he used in dancing.


That's right. Especially since they have talked about creating a channel that would only air the Simpsons. It's like they want to keep them yet they dont want to associate with them.


Odd.  Fox also has affiliations with the gaming website ign.


That's so amazing! Even Tupac danced ballet in high school. Would have never known that.


True.  Do you like cars?  What do you think of Tesla?


Yes. Is it just me or is Tesla becoming a very popular car all of a sudden. Toyota owns 10% of Tesla, didn't know that


I didn't know that either.  Tesla is growing in popularity. I think it is because of Elon Musk.


Elon took a 78$ million paycut in 2014 and returned it all but $1! How crazy


He is impressive. Did you know he founded Paypal?


He did? I did not know that! He was smart man.


He also founded spacex.  I wonder if he'll have space travel for everyone eventually.


I have never seen it. Hard to believe it beat out Seinfeld, Friends, and Frasier from a golden globe.


Yes.  I think you can find it on Netflix or amazon prime.  Did you know that Comedy Central has cancelled over 100 shows since it was created in 1989?


Wow I didn't know that. I used to watch Comedy Central back in the day, but haven't seen it in awhile.


Me too.  I mainly only watch amazon prime and netflix now.  Only time I really watch live tv is for sports.  Did you ever see the Incredibles 2 movie?


Not yet.  I did see the first one.  I can't believe it's been 15 years already since that one came out in 2004.


That's pretty crazy. Time is flying by way too fast.


Seems like the older I get the faster it goes.  The present day events in the Incredibles are set in the 1960's.  That was a little before my time.


The girl that is the voice of Violet is Sarah Vowell.  She's also an author of historical nonfiction.  That's pretty neat!


Hello!  I'm good!  Do you eat tofu?  I've never tried it.


I have never tried tofu, but it's something I've always wanted to try. What exactly is it?


I'm not sure.  Closest I ever came to it was a friend of mines mother in high school used to eat it.  Do you watch comedies?


I love them too!  Bill Murray thinks that Kung Fu Hustle is the supreme achievement of the modern comedy age.  I've never seen that one though.


I don't think that's very accurate lol. I've seen that movie and don't think it's very funny.


LOL  Now that's funny!  haha  The Green Lantern was originally supposed to be a comedy that starred Jack Black.


That would be a very funny movie if it had Jack Black in it.


I bet.  I love his stuff.  Did you ever watch 3rd rock from the sun?
