Original seriesThe Bird Porch
Meet The Porch Regulars
One porch. One feeder. The same crowd every morning — and one problem that will not stop coming back. Short animated episodes about the birds that actually show up, made by the same small team behind the mugs.
The cast
2 on the porch · 4 arriving
Red is under the impression that this is his porch and the rest of us are visiting. He delivers speeches nobody asked for, poses whenever a window is nearby, and takes it personally when the feeder is empty. He is also, to be fair, the best-looking thing in the yard, and he knows it.
- Known for
- Calling meetings. Attending none.
- Weakness
- Reflections. Any reflection.
- Catchphrase
- "Friends. We have… a problem."
- Real bird
- Male Northern Cardinal — crest, black mask, orange-red bill. Year-round across the eastern US.
Nobody on the porch uses his name. He arrives upside down, leaves full, and has a new plan for the feeder every single morning. His disguises are not good. His confidence is unshakeable. If you have ever owned a bird feeder, you have met him.
- Known for
- Hanging upside down. Eating. Both at once.
- Weakness
- Believes a leaf is a disguise.
- Catchphrase
- (chewing noises)
- Real animal
- Eastern Gray Squirrel. Can jump ten feet sideways. Your baffle is not working.
Small, fast, fearless, and wrong about every danger. First to the feeder, last to notice the hawk.
Loud, blue, and never once guilty of anything, according to Jay. The peanuts disappear anyway.
Through the scene four times before anyone finishes a sentence. Runs on sugar water and spite.
Fills the feeder, drinks the coffee, is wildly misunderstood by everyone on the railing. You never see the face. You will recognize the mug.
Three questions
Which Regular are you?
Everyone who feeds birds is one of these. Answer honestly; the porch already knows.
Episodes
New episodes Tuesdays & Fridays
Red calls an emergency meeting about the squirrel situation. The squirrel attends the meeting. Wearing a leaf.
On the table in this episode: The Feeder Watch Café Mug — $21.99
The feeder is empty. For the first time in recorded history, Red and The Problem sit on the same railing, feeling the same feelings. Then the Keeper shows up with the mug, and nobody admits anything.
The suet cake is gone. There is one suspect. He has three stories.
