I'm a bird shut up do you type with your beak? My ex roomie was a bird and he used to get on the web typing with his beak and his wing tip...he ended up getting in trouble with his business license and went to prison but he was a great pal....i like birds! I ended up with his she-ra princess of power card collection which I still have thank you very much.

When Audubon went hunting for birds he would kill 30 or 40 a day! Uhmm? Bummer, but apparently proper for what he hoped to do!

[@couchphotography8861]

horrible man, one of the worst bird killers ever. If you go to the house in the Florida Keys, there is a building outside which was made into a workroom wherein hangs a bloodstained dead flamingo. He considered that there were so many, he was perfectly entitled to kill over a million of them. His work is actually wooden, and uninspiring to me. Wiring dead birds into the most unnatural poses ever, so they could be squashed onto the paper gave a really false perspective. He shot birds for fun, thinking he was clever and a great shot. Ugh, ghastly man, I hope he's in bird hell, being pecked for eternity....
