He's choking both of his turkeys at once...

...when I was that age I was barely choking my chicken.

From a not-so-recent Photo Safari, a boid:

A bloo boid:

Through a filthy triple-pane window.

Pretty!

A racing pigeon arrived in our back garden last Thursday and has been more or less resident ever since.
Given his role in life he's rather more athletic looking than the Wood Pigeons that shuffle around the place.
The Woody is a bird so corpulent that it is astonishing how it ever manages to leave the ground.
It probably has a wake turbulence category similar to an A380.

The new arrival has two coloured rings on each leg which should provide ownership details.
I took a couple of photos a few minutes ago in the hope that I could glean some information but he thoughtfully decided that it was time to rest one leg.
Seconds later he put it down and took off.

Anyway, FWIW...

Given that he's been resting here for five days I suspect that his racing career is over. Not much gets past me.
Even if I could catch the bird with the prospect of reuniting him with his owner, I don't think I would.
Prospects are bleak for pigeons in such cases.

Coming at ya Bro...

When I saw the thread title, I remembered this:

I found a birdy in the snow
He'd broke his wing and could not go
I kept him warm and fed him bread
And then I stomped his little head

Mantis takes a hummingbird...

Who knew the Secretary Bird has lashes to die for?

But does she take dictation?

Her shorthand looks like chicken scratches.

Bravo.

The Tailor Bird is amazing...
