You have to wonder if the more colorful creatures of the world are looked at differently by the more plain Jane creatures and what their thoughts might be … perhaps exactly what this picture portrays. LOL
Either way … I love this picture!
Catch of the Day?
It looks like these pelicans are curious about the human method of fishing. I’m sure their’s is better.
I wonder if they tried to steal the mans catch?
Feathered thieves!
Back in 2002, the owners of a coin-operated car wash in Maryland had a hard time trying to figure out why they kept losing hundreds of dollars each week from their machines.
There was no evidence that the coin machines were being broken into, yet things just weren’t adding up.
The owners set something up to observe the machines and that’s how they discovered who was stealing the coins. It was small birds. They were getting into the machines through the coin returns and flying off with the shiny quarters.
Pigeons on the Pill what will hollywood think of next?
Did you hear about the novel way that Hollywood has come up with to deal with their excessive pigeon problem? They’re giving pigeons the contraceptive pill.
At this time there are over 5000 pigeons in the Hollywood area. Campaigners against the pigeons want to give them birth control pills in the form of a drug called OvoControl P in an attempt to cut their numbers in half over the next five years.
The contraceptives are being fed to the pigeons via bird food pellets. In a news story that I saw regarding Hollywood’s pigeon problem it was noted that the birds don’t seem to like to eat these special pellets. Perhaps it has something to do with a local woman who’s known as the Bird Lady who’s been encouraging the birds by leaving large bags of bird feed in different areas.
