Birds outside my window

In my last entry, I told you about the birds who landed outside my window and I couldn't take a video of them.

A few hours later, I took some pictures of them.

They were still scared of me and flew away every time I stood by my window or my camera worked on my windowsill.

But they were not too scared to fly very far away. They just stood on my neighbors' clothes rails.

So I could capture some photos.

You can see them here: https://x.com/myplain/status/1833132723105345625

I think the first bird is a turtle dove and the other is a Chinese bulbul.


上一篇文里,跟你们说了那些落在我窗外的鸟,我没能拍到它们的视频。

几个小时后,我拍到了它们的一些照片。

它们还是很怕我。每次我站在窗前,或者我的相机在窗台上工作时,它们就飞走了。

但他们并没有害怕到飞得很远。它们就站在我邻居们的晾衣杆上。

这样我就拍到了一些照片。

你可以在这里看到它们:https://x.com/myplain/status/1833132723105345625

我觉得第一只鸟是斑鸠,另一只是白头翁。

You too :)

In my last entry, I told you about the birds who landed outside my window and I couldn't take a video of them.

The use of "who" when describing animals is very interesting. You may want to check this out: https://www.thedodo.com/what-calling-animals-who-reall-432479625.html.

I don't think there's a right or wrong rule here in modern language. Personally, I wouldn't refer to birds as "who" in this sentence. Rather, I would have written:
"I told you about the birds that landed outside my window"... but that's personal preference.

Your sentence is perfect, so don't feel the need to change it!

They were still scared of me and flew away every time I stood by my window or placed my camera worked on myon the windowsill.

But they were not toso scared as to fly very far away.

So I could capture some photos.

This sentence doesn't feel complete. Are you trying to communicate that you could capture the photos because the birds were on your neighbour's rails?

"They just stood on my neighbors' clothes rails and I was able to capture some photos"

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "or my camera worked on my windowsill"

But they were not too scaredfrightened enough to fly away very far away.

They just stooperched on my neighbors's clothes raillines.
