Describe yourself in a single bird

:blush:

or, to be taxonomically precise, "Turkey Vulture".

Actually, that's an OK earworm to have, but it's not going to help me fall asleep tonight.:bounce:

Nevermore.

I like crows, too.

Then, there's my bike:

The "Raven1"

People seem to hate jays the most. A parrot fancier I once knew described Steller's jays as "the only bird the devil made."

Corvids, like parrots, are very intelligent. I raised a young crow that fell out of the nest, once. Very smart birds! I've always thought it would be neat to have pet ravens. I'd name them "Quoth," "Poe," and "Nevermore." ;) Of course, it's illegal to have native birds as pets so I just enjoy the big ravens that live in the high country and sometimes fly into town to check out the primate set.

They're rather large birds. It's easy to tell them from crows in flight because ravens have wedge-shaped tails while crows' tails are squared off. Also, ravens are quite a bit bigger and have a coarser voice. I sometimes wish I could get closer to them. Sometime I'm going to scope out the resident ravens at Pinecrest Lake. They tend to stay high in the Ponderosas were you can't see them. :(

Both are very important symbols to me.

Here I am...

I believe you mean Cacatua alba. :)

Besides, according to the Department of Cladistic Security, he's a dinosaur! :P

Tucker

I think it's probably true, too. I love looking at that beautiful archaeopteryx fossil and artists' conceptions of feathered dinosaurs. I drew a few in my notes I might post if I'm in a playful enough mood. :)

Imagine a feathered Tyrannosaur bellowing "ALL DONE!" as he chases his prey...I do wonder whether dinosaurs had a greater vocal range than is supposed.

Tucker

as my rising bird.

:hi:

:silly:

(Birds of a feather...?):)

n/t

Loud, obnoxious, fairly intelligent, somewhat common, and showy but certainly not as showy as a peacock. ;)

:evilgrin:

BTW, Baby is very cute.

:hug:

Im didn't know the phylum and genus :blush: ur just much better then me :loveya:

Phoenix is the same bird I chose, too, although I'm flaming in a different way! ;) They are magical creatures, indeed.

:hi:

Specifically, Indietit.

but not for long.
:freak:

Emus are largely solitary creatures; unlike many other birds, they seem to have no need for company and mutual grooming. They roam the continent searching for the best feeding areas, and although they can form enormous flocks, this is not a truly social behaviour, simply a matter of going where the food is.

Yeah, I know. A bad choice for this site, but there it is.

It's the world's only poisonous bird. Actually, I'm not poisonous (I hope); I'm just intrigued by the notion of a poisonoous bird. Nature never ceases to amaze.

i'm a little crunchy and indigestible, not one of the heavy duty poisons

Maybe a redheaded woodpecker!

without a doubt..

Oh, wait. I responded, so I guess you didn't kill this thread. ;)
