If you could be any kind of bird, what would you choose?

[Donger]

So, in the spirit of good parenting, my wife decided to get a bird feeder. The kids were really enjoying it until later this afternoon, when apparently a Cooper's Hawk decided to ambush the other cute, fluffy birds at the feeder and eat a few. While watching the hawk consume his smaller breathren, I wondered the above question for myself.

I'd like to be a male Western Tanager.

You?

[JBucc]

That would be so cool. I always wanted to see a bird of prey grab another bird out of the sky.

[Hammock Parties]

I'd like to be one of those falcons that dive-bombs their prey. That would be a pretty exciting lifestyle.

[JBucc]

Anyways I think I'd be a golden eagle. Because they're golden and eagles.

[Sully]

Penguin
except I hate to be that cold
Goose

[plbrdude]

never given it a thought. but i suppose a bald eagle would be a good bird to be.

[Donger]

The Cooper's Hawk ambushed them at the feeder, not in the sky.

[Phobia]

I really wouldn't want to be any kind of bird. The sex can't be that great. I'd choose to be a pig. They really get after it.

Am I disqualified now?

[Otter]

In this instance I'd have to go with A Cooper's Hawk.

A Peregrine Falcon? World's fastest bird, if my geekness recalls. 200+ mph in a dive?

I don't think that fits you. Perhaps something more sedentary? One of those birds that lives underground, perhaps?

[BucEyedPea]

a toucan

i actually got to witness an eagle chase down a duck last winter. i'd guess the chase may have lasted 3-5 minutes. never saw a duck flap his wings so fast before. but, he just wasn't fast enough.

You said ANY bird. :harumph:

[Donger]

That's not very nice.

Darn it. You're right. I'm sorry GoChiefs.

[Donger]

You're right, I'm sorry. I should have been more specific.

Apology accepted, captain Needa.

Or I might be a mockingbird so I get to mock other birds.

Tell us about your relationship with Snuffulupagus.

Penguin. Their life is a riot.

[Aries Walker]

Head outside on a summer day, and look up. If you see a bird that's so high up in the clouds that you can't even tell what it is, one that is soaring on the air currents and is so high above all the shit we put up with down here on a day to day basis that he isn't even aware of its existence, that's the bird I want to be.

The Ferruginous Hawk, Mr. Donger.

Ferruginous Hawks ambush prairie-dogs. And, since I was but a child, I have dreamed of ambushing a prairie-dog.

How would you like to have only pretty birds use your feeder. When I was young, one of my buddies dad wired the perches of the feeder to a model train transformer and put a push button switch in the circuit. When sparrows or other undesirable birds tried to use it, he would shock them off it. It was great. Only colorful birds came to the feeder. Till us little bastards showed up while the old man was at work. We would shock all of the birds and laugh our ass off.

I think this one may have some mental issues.

Eagle without a doubt. Probably a bald one although I do not have a problem with that in my human form. :D

I guess my little joke that "ambushing prairie dogs" could be a euphamism for something else didn't come through on that.
No worries, they can't all be winners. I'll just pretend that one was all for me and move on.

[Sully]

I'm not sure what ambushing a prairie dog is, but I bet I do it at least three times this weekend.

ppffffttt....
On a rainy day I'll do it three times in the span of 2 hours.

that was great ROFL .

He must've been wearing black headphones, I couldn't even see them.

[teedubya]

Its hard to fly with the eagles when you flock with a bunch of Chiefsplanet Turkeys.

[greg63]

An unladen swallow.

[Halfcan]

I would be a big nasty Crow-and I would go around and shit on peoples cars that just left the Car Wash.

[JBucc]

I hear there are places with more prairie dogs than a bird could eat in a lifetime. Out in the desert or something.

[Donger]

That never fails to crack my kids up. You just know the other pengiuns are thinking, "Oh sh*t. Bob's freaking out again. Just stay out of his way."

[Sully]

No problems with chafing?

I take measures.
I'll leave it at that.

[Sully]

If I tell you, then demand will go up, then I have to pay more for it. So I'll thank you to mind your own beeswax.

[Sully]

Mainly, you just gotta make sure the bees are gone.

Just imagine for a moment. You are a majestic and powerful Ferruginous hawk. Confident and assured. Sharp eyed and intelligent, you are the dominant animal in all you survey. You wait patiently on the outskirts of prairie-dog town.

There's no rush.

Then, as the morning sun gracefully paints the awakening desert with a soft, orange glow, a gentle prairie-dog innocently exits his burrow seeking his breakfast and you ambush the little f*cker.

I mean, what could be better than that?

That's going to give me nightmares.

Golden Eagle. I want to survive off of red meat, not fish, seeds, or stuff that's been dead a week. Also, I want to be big enough to kill real food and not have to live off mice, snakes and such.
