    My brother used to do something similar to me.
    :-/

      My older sister did this exact same thing to me when we were really little kids. Except that she told me to stick my tongue out (which I stupidly did) and then she picked up her raggedy Andy doll, held his hands with hers and “made him” squish the crap out of my tongue. Then when I cried and mom asked us what happened, she innocently said, “Andy did it.” Clever one, that big sis of mine. :) I still laugh when I think about that!

        haha big sisters are the worst! I was lucky enough to have a big brother who is 7 years my senior….I think I tortured him though!

    Looks like the avian version of a frequently occurring scene between my two sons: “You shut up!” “No, *you* shut up!”

  3. nads says:

    I think the shushed one is a girl. Different markings and all. Just saying :)
    And yeah, totally something my older brother would do to me. Along with the classic “why are you hitting yourself?”

    • kibblenibble says:

      My brother did that, too! Along with the rope-burn arm thing.

    • Mary (the first) says:

      Yeah, looks like one is female and one is not, but they could still be twins. They’re both very pretty, anyway!

    • BatBlaster says:

      That makes sense. Male birds are more flamboyant. Peahens are drab brown, peacocks are well…
      Anyway I see we have a few flying things being posted on CO recently. Can we add some bats to that please?

    • Martha in Washington says:

      Along with the ever popular “I’m not touching you.”

    Actually this is a male House Sparrow shuting up a female House Sparrow. DOMESTIC ABUSE!
    Interesting capture though.

    I sometimes want to do that to the mirror, too! ***shoosh***

  8. Sar says:

    Hey, whatever works!

    Hearing Kevin James… “shut-y.”

    Shut yo’ mouth! What? I’m talking about Shaft!

    Everybody was Kung-fu fighting
    those birds were fast as lightning
    a little bit exciting
    they were Kung-fu fi-i-i-ting!
    circa 1971

    Hush little baby, don’t say a word…

    If any one can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them peep now or forever hold their beak.

    In honor of Mother’s Day, I’m thinking it’s mother with perpetually hungry child.

    House Sparrows! Used to be known as “English Sparrows” years ago here in the U.S. Left is a male, right is a female. There are all over here, with nests in the eaves of the houses of both sides of me. I love to hear them sing, but it looks like this little guy has had enough!

    Shutuppa ya face!

  18. Guess it’s better than the canine method of engulfing the muzzle in one’s own.

  19. Alina says:

    I would say that the male bird wants the baby to shut up!!!
