Birdies!
Sorry, I'm a little tipsy and shouldn't be posting..
I was coming in the house tonight and there was this Chuck-Wills-Widow singing away somewhere in the field behind my house. I remember we used to have Whip-poor-wills but one year they left and the chuckwillswidows came.. I wonder what happened to the whippoorwills. Funny most people call chuckwillswidows whippoorwills around here. I might not have known they were two different birds until later in life but I sure as hell knew the song changed sometime when I was a teenager and my dad refused to believe me... He's not very observant.. Anyways. Goodnight and feel free to discuss anything birdlike in this thread. Except Bird Flu. None of that.

I had a parakeet in middle school. His name was Bill. My Dad killed him while cleaning his cage with chemicals. I remember watching him writhe on the bottom of his cage - I didn't know what to do - if I should hold him or just leave him, etc. His little death lasted a few hours .

I got attacked by a hawk once. Yes, I'm going to milk that for all it's worth.
