Beautiful pictures! Where are you located? The only wild birds that are native to where I life (NY) are sparrows, chickadees, robins, pigeons, and the occasional mocking bird/blue jay/cardinal.

Very nice. The Lazuli Buntings are spectacular and I always love to watch the kingbirds. I feel like they have a feisty personality and would make fun companion birds.

Is it strange that I watch wild birds and consider their pet potential?

I'm in central Arizona.

As far as wild bird in NY, you'd be surprised. It depends, of course, on where you are in NY, but here is the checklist of wild birds in the state of NY.
