I like birds. I had a set of parakeets (collect all twelve!) when I was young. There was something about them that I understood better than dogs or cats. Well, it seemed that they understood me more. Anything that can produce interesting songs and noises catches my interest.
On Sunday, I was in a parking lot sitting in my truck. The window was rolled down and I was checking out the view of the snow pack on the mountains. Then this finch flies up to my side view mirror and is checking me out. I really thought this was neat. It stayed there for about a minute and then flew over to my bed box and was checking me out from the rear window.
Today I was fixing sprinklers and had a pigeon as a companion for three hours. This little guy would walk right up to me and peck around. It would then fly away for a bit and return to me and hang out for a bit longer. This was the routine that the pigeon kept for that period of time.
I think I'm becoming Uncle Remus.

Start carrying crumbs and seeds. Train one to sit on your shoulder, then you can be like a pirate.

Iam with Julie's advice. It wud be cool to have a parrot on the shoulder but just think of the shit stains on ur back
Birds are so amazing. I mean, they FLY for crying out loud. That alone makes them the real deal. But yes they are such cool little creatures.
i like watching birds move around on the ground using their legs. you've got some that hop around (sparrows), and others who walk (pigeons). the only birds i can honestly say i hate are new york city pigeons. those jerks will fly right at me, cause they think they're the boss of me.
I'll be Br'er rabbit!
Julie~ I like that idea.
Vera~ Even turkeys?
Christielli~ You must not own a freshly washed car.
Tys~ That's why Scotch Guard was invented.
Rawbean~ Birds are the bees' afros.
Jason~ Yeah, I have to believe that the pigeons in New York have a bit more attitude than the rest.
Sun~ Finally, someone who gets me!
I love birds in a natural setting, but I don't think I'd like one as a pet. We had one as a kid, but i remember it being so messy. I love mimicking and whistling at them while I'm out on a walk though..
