Zeal Ascendant Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 [quote name='Hatcher' timestamp='1330355032' post='5844102'] The only birds we get here in NYC are stupid pigeons. I'm okay with people harming those chattering disease bags. [/quote] I agree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDDRodrigo Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 [quote name='Finding The Everlight' timestamp='1330364403' post='5844273'] Mu, are the birds around you anything like the ones in the movie Rio? I know the movie is probably set farther south from you, but even so. [/quote] The opposite. Amazon is on the extreme north of Brazil. I live in the south, around 3500 kilometers away from the biggest forest in the world. The birds on my city are mostly the ones that fly from up there in America, pidgeons, seagulls and a few hummingbirds and rare beauties. Although my city is the one with the biggest amount of trees relatively, and I'm very proud of that. Compared to the city I was born in (Curitiba)... it's so much better.

Lonk Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I like birds. I just want to pick one up and hug it, even if it is a large bird that can peck and scratch me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are more braving and would actually rush at me. Then, that becomes my chance to pet them and hug them. I will be giggling with happiness like a 7-year old mentally-handicapped boy while something like a rooster, goose, peacock, ect. is pecking at me.

ragnarok1945 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 did any of them try to peck your eyes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 No. I actually never tried to hug a goose because my mom warns me sternly to never go near them. I still want to hug a goose regardless, but I am afraid of a group attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
