@ T' We used to breed birds, so all the local ones, generally the brown doves would pop in for a free feed. The annoying thing was that they would just stroll into the house, if the back door was kept open, and then it got kind of ugly. They just kept flying into the window and knocking over everything... Now we keep the doors closed. ;)

Yea, unfortunately it isn't very good, it's about the Owl being the bringer of both wisdom and death. Uncanny how much like Greek mythology it is ...

LOL...O little brown bird flew into an open window in my car one day...I nearly freaked, but luckily avoided an accident... :rolleyes: :p

@Tam: On second thought maybe that old Indian thing should be about little brown birds... :p

Wasn't really looking forward to getting up really early to scare away that bird. But it still has to go, must keep sanity in check after all. ;)

Don't worry Tybs, I'm more afraid of it, then it is of me. It is a bird of prey after all. :D

@ Scayde :eek: I'm glad you didn't get in an accident :)
I have lots of quail in my yard and usually have to shoo them out of the driveway before going anywhere :D

Well Im back. It seems the conversation has dyed down a bit...
“Caw, Caw!” The call of the wild calls you. Are you listening? Do you dare challenge their power? Do you dare invade? Nature will always triumph in the end.

Thats cute. Ive never seen a real quail, but it sounds like they share things in common with many other bird families. Loving to stay together. I think the dove family is one of the few in our backyard that doesnt believe in family bonding. For them-its all about the mating! And food........ :D

EDIT @Scayde No worries. Any of your presence here is welcome and good. :) :cool:

Think of it like this, not only are you learning a new language, your also doing arithmetic problems in that language. It can get confusing and frustrating at times, but it can also be immensely rewarding. ;)
