a male observation

I was laying on my tummy in the back yard when I snapped these pictures of our standard local Blue Jay. He didn't notice me and he was acting unusually cute and
gentle.

Preening himself looking this way and that. Pudgy little birdie cute cute cute. But, let me tell you, as soon as he realized that I was in his territory, he jumped up above me and puffed out his chest.

He squawked loudly at me and kept huffing, puffing and jerking his wings out to the sides and then up and down.
"Jeez, enough with the show already...you're the male, I get it, I get it."
At first he was cute and then he became just down right annoying.

Later in the day my son called me just to see how I was doing (?) Now, Mark is a wonderful son, but he was sounding a little extra nice and cute :) So I finally said, "What do you want honey?" It was simple..."Oh, nothing...just a little tight on money, waiting for an overdue check" and has been eating out of his cupboards for a few days.

"Well, I am going to the grocery store tomorrow, but instead of grabbing a couple of extra items from the store, why don't I pick you up and we'll spend the day together?"
He immediately cheered up and I could actually hear his chest swell, as I had saved him from having to "ask" for my help. I thought of the Blue Jay and how one minute he was so so cute and the next he was the machismo mondo man/bird.

Men...are they all like this, no matter what their species?
