I tend to think of birds, or animals in general, as being too busy with the stuff of life (such as eating, sleeping, and so forth), but they do have a sense of fun or – given that bluebirds are my subject here – of happiness.
The first photo doesn’t appear particularly “fun-like,” but the eastern bluebirds were only beginning.

It does look as if one of the bluebirds was being driven away, but he was soon back.

After sitting quietly for some seconds, the game began.

One bluebird flew around the trunk to find out what was what with another bluebird.

Note how one bluebird carefully lines up with another.

And take that!
Nothing like a little push to make someone’s day.
