I tried. He wouldn't get out from behind my john deere. I gave him some bread and a dog dish with water in it.
The dumb part is the guy that came to take him away says this happens a lot. :wtf: |
That's pretty LOL. We don't get geese around here, at all. A surprisingly high number of ducks though. |

| We get quite a few Cardinals around here. They are cool... Because they're red. |

No birds here. They get eaten on sight.
The other variety of birds have too many feathers down there. |

You live in Brazil, so you have the coolest birds ever :mad: I know you're not near the jungle, but still, there has to be something cool!
I know you would never hear their tweets, because they're not on Twitter, and you have your headphones on when you walk :p |

Bats, I presume?
If so, LOL, don't even get me started. There are a couple of huge fig trees across from our place, and whenever they fruit, they're covered with bats, all night. They squeal like ing aliens, all god damn night, and I can't sleep :mad: |
no, i meant pigeons. i'm totally disgusted by these animals crapping everywhere. on the bright side, they don't crap in mid-flight like seagulls.
i saw a turkey vulture feeding on roadkill the other day. pretty awesome sight actually. |

Oh, I can hear them chirp when I go to bed :p
By the way, my rents leave some food by the window (they live on the 6th floor) and some kiskadees show up whenever they want a snack.
I can't take a picture of those quick buggers, so here's something from Wikipedia :p |

| The most notable birds I have in my area are a big grey heron that wades around in the "lake" (man-made storm-water resevoir) down the street from my house. He's my little stoner buddy. The same "lake" is also home to a green heron, and a number of other species that I don't know the names of, and don't see anywhere else. I frequently see bird-watchers setting up camp around the bike path to check out the local avians. |

I think one of the dominating species, at least during winter, in Norway, is the Great Tit, or kjøttmeis as we call it. Had no idea what it's english name was before now :P
Also got a bunch of grouses, I guess. Black, hazel grouse and Lagopus.
Oh and in Røst, Lofoten, there are about 433 000 couples (so multiply by two) of atlantic puffins who come to get their groove on.
Edit: I can tell it's been a long time since summer, because I totally forgot about sea gulls. We have like.. really many of them. We should send them to Africa or some other poor country. |

Mostly typical port-city birds around my place: seagulls, crows, sparrows, blue jays, Canadian geese, pigeons, a hawk or two, the odd heron near the river marshes.
My hometown of Prince Rupert is known for having tons of bald eagles about. Would often see a couple perched out on the cliff near where I lived. This isn't all that spectacular though, as they mostly linger near the fishing docks for leftovers floating in the harbor. |
