It's hard picking the favorites for the video. Thank you!

2:30 why would you keep that in there this bird visibly has its eye destroyed and is bleeding everywhere!!!

[@3balmers]

Thank you for your concern. It's not blood, it's a raspberry. If you keep an eye on the bigger chunk you'll see it blow in the wind and blow away. The finches are always covering their faces in the fruit I put out.

@@3balmers I mean it's nature animals get hurt but it absolutely wasn't a raspberry you can watch the blood being produced from its eye, every drop what was replaced with another drop coming directly from the eye, there's literally a visible steady flow then it proceeded to shake its head and sling blood all over the feeder. I eat/pick raspberries regularly their juice isn't opaque red is translucent red.

Did you see it blow away in the vids that follow? I even went out and checked the feeder and it was all raspberry pieces, there was no blood. If it was I wouldn't have kept the video in. On a lighter note... A hawk grabbed one of the sparrows out of the air and she managed to get away and flew right to me. I held her in my hand until the danger passed so I hope that eases your spirits a little, I mean no harm in what I post or how it's perceived.
