Graduating from pictures of cats in enclosed spaces to pictures of birds…

Upon a ledge; into the abyss
Upon a ledge; into the abyss

The pigeons are perched upon an air-con generator and just being bird-brained, as usual.

But I like to imagine they’re actually giant mutant pigeons standing atop a block of flats having a conversation about breaking up right before they swoop down on the puny little humans below them.

Fat bird feeling sad; wondering: "Why does it always rain on me?"

Yet another exercise in avian anthropomorphism – this time, a mynah waiting out the rain was standing on the ledge at my kitchen window.

It was all wet and looked a sorry sight indeed.

I was very tempted to sympathise with it, but I couldn’t bring myself to, considering how these mynah bastards enjoy entering my house, eating my food and shitting all over my kitchen floor.

Much like my friends, actually, except my friends enjoy making racist remarks in lieu of shitting all over my kitchen floor.

Actually, that’s almost akin to shitting all over my kitchen floor, so I guess I have bird-brained friends too.
