I just woke my wife up because I couldn't keep from laughing out loud at this! "...highest motabolism...One in, one out." That's the part that really got me in trouble!
I for one, welcome our new feathered overlords.
Classic
Classic
So....anybody have any recipes for this abundant sub species?
Hahahahha, very funny.

Canada geese, white tail deer, raccoons, coyotes and the erstwhile pigeon are our local "pest critters" Actually, pigeons are less of a nuisance. The up swell in hawk population has taken care of them

More like "fries hawks": for their perfect technique to pull a plate of fries out of the unsuspecting hands of tourists....

Back in Edinburgh, where the weather is uncharacteristically nice and people are eating outside, and saw a gull take a tourists freshly delivered filled croissant right off her table. Not much technique involved, just landed and scared her off. I THINK I'd have fought for it, but a full grown Herring Gull in your face is quite intimidating.
Think that's a new development locally. When I left the Edinburgh Herring Gull population was relatively timid, though the Aberdeen ones would take a fish supper off you on the wing and seemed to detect and specifically target drunks.

...That was my late outside lunch entertainment in Cancun,QR, Mexico.
Found the bird-less corner, took some fruit and a drink and watched the tourists getting "fried": saw couple scares, but most of it was pretty good technique on catching something on the fly eq. "catching a moving fish"

I was in Brisbane a few months ago, they call them "Garbage Chooks" up there.
When I was a kid everyone had chooks (chickens), and my aunty had some Plymouth Rock...which we kids called Feathery Legs. There were Plymouth Brethren in town, and some cousin picked up their ears and said Feathery Legs ! From then on the Brethren were called Feathery Legs, or just The Featheries. It wasn't until we were teenagers and had forgotten the connection that we asked why they were called that...and we were told it was us !
One native bird in NZ that has managed to live with humans is the Pukeko (Australisian Swamp Hen, and other things around the world) They strut around doing funny things, but are not scavengers.
