The Ultimate in Chirpy Birdyness

Awww. I don’t even like birds that much, but it’s round. And fuzzy. And cute.
I was wondering, “Wow, how’d that guy get the little birdie to sit on his finger?” Then I went to his website and looked at all the photos–he’s holding all the birds tight by the legs! Nice photos and all, Perfesser, but jeez, please don’t traumatize the wildlife! Let them be!
bird love!
:O those files are ginormous.
That is one cute phoebe. The Professor was mist-netting birds for a Management of Wildlife Populations class. It doesn’t hurt them, but it sure does tick ‘em off. The cardinals especially will bite the tar out of you. Heh.
Aww, he looks like a baby kookaburra. or at least part of the Kingfisher family… cutie.
That stupid man gets on my nervs as I am a great bird lover but I absolutely love the bird
Let me tell you people…Phoebes are some of the most friendly and social birds out there. They’re pretty ubiquitous, so please pay them some attention. You will be rewarded a hundredfold if a Phoebe decides to become your friend.
aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is so cute
