All-New Ornithology Thread

NEW YORK - A peacock that roamed into a fast-food restaurant parking lot was attacked by man who vilified the bird as a vampire, animal-control authorities said.

Beaten so fiercely that most of his tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized, said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the city’s Center for Animal Care and Control.

The film ends with Leonard infiltrating the vegetarian base, fending off the vegetarians with magic meat he received from a magician, freeing the captive animals and flooding the base using dish soap. He escapes by riding an ostrich on the roof of the building, with the ostrich flying him down.

i like the cut of this thread's jib

i bet steve shasta has eaten ortolan with said white napkin over his head

I don't even eat softshell crabs b/c grossed out by the "wholeness" aspect, forget ever eating a songbird with bones that crunches and munches.

seriously. i can't even eat calamari with recognizable squid parts.

mmmm squid parts and soft-shell crabs

you guys are missing out on the soft shell crab and squid (the tentacles are much more tender than the rings)

birds are wretched. horrible.

and they all want to eat my eyes out.

is this guy one of those deranged sicko's that thinks feeding pigeons is anything but a degenerate activity?

SS crabs: snip off their faces, dredge them in peppered flour, deep-fry them.

bell labs, do you have a link to that txt?

Feathered dinosaur fossil finds to date, together with cladistic analysis, suggest that many types of theropod may have had feathers, not just those that are especially similar to birds. In particular, the smaller theropod species may all have had feathers and possibly even the larger theropods (for instance T. rex) may have had feathers, in their early stages of development after hatching. Large adult theropods are unlikely to have had feathers, however, as the need for insulation would be less important, since inertial heat retention would likely be sufficient to manage heat. Retention of internal heat may even have become a problem, had these very large creatures been feathered.

The heart wants to be made into a face.

lewis, a man's heart is stonier...

He grows what he can, and tends it

Elsewhere in Scotland, a buzzard assailed a
jogger, puncturing the man's scalp with its talons. "I
don't know why the bird went haywire like that," said
Kevin Barclay, a psychiatric nurse. "I think it was
nesting and must have been intimidated by me."

Aeschylus died when a bird mistook his bald pate for a rock, and attempting to crack open a turtle shell, dropped it directly overhead.

i think i would try ambelopoulia, a cypriot dish made of robins, looks kind of tasty
