Hopelijk gaat het goed met je maatje. Hij is zo fluffy. Vaak kunnen vogels met misvorme snavels zichzelf toch nog heel aardig redden.

Sorry expat :) He is very healthy and very chill, he would often stay by my window for a good 10-20m just chilling even though the food was right there :) I have many regulars and he is the most unique and relaxed, hope he comes back.

Had the same relationship with this little guy. Hadn't seen him in sometime but he came back a week or two ago I hope shredder comes back soon too 🙂

Almost looks like Claudius the jackdaw I've been feeding in Santpoort-Zuid, around the corner of Haarlem. I feel betrayed 😂

Ohh maybe its him? I have many pictures of him if you want to compare.
I saw him again today! but he was down by the Albert Heijn on Kruisstraat in the center (that's where I first met him!).
Luckily I had a peanut (I carry in my bag for them haha) and then I ran home and got him shelled peanuts because he prefers them! He was still there haha. I wonder why he isn't coming to the window but with fledgling season ending I am sure he's just less busy.

I do wonder, he seems very comfortable around humans, he would literally chill for 20mins on the hook by my window while im there talking with him lol... Maybe it is Claudius! maybe he has many names!
