The do not peck eyes out of people who revere them. You, on the other hand, might be wise to take cover.
So you fell for their proganda, eh? Well, you can’t say I didn’t warn you. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
A cat could protect you too. Beautiful photo Mike. My favorite of yours so far!
Bird protection: Best argument for owning a cat I’ve heard.
I love this photo. The angle is so perfectly right, and the light is amazing. Great job, Mike.
One thing I like about stone birds: They won’t peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
Again, you rock and show why you are one of the organizers of this thing. You know what you’re doing…sometimes, anyway.
As long as people heed my advice about birds, I will continue taking pictures, Bryan. There is nothing nobler than letting people know that birds will peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
I really like your concrete example of birds today. Nice of you to throw this pic into the mix, Mike.
Just remember, birds are here to peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
hahaha why does it look like they are all trying not to fall off the ledge?
I’m Gunna do it man, one more step, I’m Gunna jump!
it’s a cool picture though, neat angle, too bad about the poor little fella in the middle.
Birds have this way of trying to look clumsy or silly. Then, while you’re laughing at them, they land on your face and peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
I know! feathery harbingers of doom, that’s what they are! They poop on you for good luck, (because you are going to need it) then they swoop down and peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
Finally, somebody who understands me. Thank you, Madge. I adore you. Stay safe out there, there are birds everywhere!
Is that bird poop on the middle bird? If it is, I need you to climb up there and clean it off. That is disgusting. Perhaps the “poop” was just a result of a layer of texture you added? In that case, you don’t have to go get your ladder. It’s a marvelous photo, Michael. You have such a talent for spotting places for wonderful photos. And I totally agree with you. Birds will peck your eyes out. I am not fond of winged things, but don’t tell Cheryl! Shhhh.
Malisa, thank God somebody sees birds for what they are: Power-mad, eye-hungry despots. In the post-apocalyptic world ruled by birds that we will soon live in, you and I and Will Smith will be great friends. We will fight the birds together, to keep them from pecking our eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
Okay. Now I think all y’all are just trying to freak me out.
It’s all acid rainy with a touch of Alfred Hitchcock.
But any portrait that provokes a reaction is a good one in my book.
You should be freaked out, because Alfred Hitchcock made The Birds, the greatest documentary in the history of documentaries since The Wizard of Oz, which alerted the world to the terrifying dangers of monkeys. Birds have but one goal in life, and that is to peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
Those birds are quite clearly watching you with suspicion and anger. Be very careful, I don’t think they like being photographed.
Birds watch everybody with suspicion and anger, and they don’t like being photographed because they don’t anybody to know that they thing about one thing: Peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
That is an awesome photo. Now I am totally convinced that you took all of your pictures and then decided upon the themes. The rest of us fools are chasing birds that are either migrating or in heat and you have stoic subjects. Although the one in the middle looks like his tallywhacker just exploded.
I didn’t pick most of the themes, and I resent the use of language like tallywhacker on my blog. This is a family blog, and familys don’t have tallywhackers.
One thing, however, stands out in your comment, and that’s your desire to see birds with exploded tallywhackers. I wholeheartedly agree. Without tallywhackers, birds can’t breed. And without birds, then more of us will survive into adulthood without getting our eyes pecked out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
Ever fed AlkaSeltzer to a seagull?
No, what happens?
I guess you don’t get many shore birds in your part of the world. Old urban legend that seagulls can’t burp so they explode if fed Alka Seltzer.
That’s so cool.
Don’t think it is true, PLUS you would have to get close to one and it might pecker, I mean peck your eyes out.
I definitely don’t want my eyes peckered out.
Great, something else to keep me awake at night with worry. Thanks a lot.
Beautiful photo. The background on this area is a very pale grey which makes it very hard for me to see what I’m typing. That is why I have been leaving very short comments. I can’t see what I’m doing until I push the “Post Comment” button. Then it’s published and if I have typos, I look stoopid. I do love the photos though and I’m really not stoopid.
You may be having trouble seeing because you live near the ocean, home to all sorts of birds. People who live near the ocean often have poor eyesight because their eyes are either damaged or missing from frequent bird attacks. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
That’s not the reason. This background makes my font just a shadow. I can’t see it at all. Never mind. I’ll just look stupid but actually you are the stupid one saying that birds pluck out your eyes. They only do that after you are dead.
I love birds. Almost as much as I love cats.
You’ll love them until they peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
I keep thinking that they’re going to take flight and that stone arch will collapse. Love the texture.
Once the birds start pecking your eyes out, you’ll wish that stone arch will collapse and kill you to prevent you from suffering the pain of having your eyes pecked out by birds. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
That is awesome. I love gargoyles!
Love ‘em all you want. But remember that bird gargoyles gargle with eyeball juice. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
Ha! Like Malisa, I immediately saw what kinda looks like bird poop streaming down the in the corner. Great minds, eh? But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was bird poop because that’s what birds do, they poop – especially on your windshield.
Yeah, in literary terms, the bird pooping is what we’d call a foreshadowing. First they poop on you, and then they peck your eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
Since today’s theme is “bird” I’m checking each of my regular reading blogs to see if there’s a photo of Charlie Parker (who never pecked anyone’s eyes out). No luck yet. (But that’s a great photo.)
I heard Charlie got drunk in Bangkok one night and pecked a dude’s eyes out.
Birds do not normally peck one’s eyes out. I think some birds taunt us. Crows are notorious for doing this. Some pet birds that talk and fly onto shoulder sense your fear and taunt you. Cats will scratch the crap out of you. But to frighten you even more, the animals on this planet are getting might pissed and it might turn into the movie “Babe, the pig and entire farm of people slayers.”
Don’t fool yourself. Birds always peck our eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
I hate birds. I’ve heard they peck your eyes out.
They do peck your eyes out. That’s what birds do.
You are crazy. I’m with Cheryl….you should take cover. But you’re a great photographer.
Or will be until the birds peck my eyes out. Because that’s what birds do. They peck your eyes out.
They do not.
