Bigger birds?

[Big Twigge]

Recently I've been noticing that birds (of the winged variety) appear to be getting larger. I keep seeing enormous blackbirds and huge evil penguins (pigeons)!
Is it just me?

erm...no comment


(but yes)

Are you sure it's not you getting smaller, Caz?

 

[Big Twigge]

I think that would be wishful thinking Mr JS!

 

[lynchie]

you're right, they're getting bigger... I've been feeding them up to use as my army when I try to take over the world... is that a problem for anyone?

 

[JessopSmythe]

Already been tried!

Some of them even got medals :shock:

 

[lynchie]

... i can't believe you knew about those sites...

 

[JessopSmythe]

I didn't know about them :shock:
I remembered hearing a news story about secret documents being released recently that mentioned pigeons in the army, so I looked to see what the almighty google knew about it.

Interesting observation?! :?

I don't see many birds (maybe I just don't go out much!) so I can't really comment

Bugger - thought you were talking about birds as in lasses.

Got all excited there for a moment!

Not sure about birds but I have had this enormous blue bottle zooming around the office all week and i swear if it dive bombs me once more its dead! :evil:

Don't suppose the nurses moved your chair nearer the window did they, that way they would look a bit bigger! :wink:

I can't say that I have noticed an increase in the sizes of birds... :?

 

[Hell's_Trombone]

They are growing because people feed them more. We went to alton towers recently and we feed a duck chips and a hot dog!
:lol:

 

[MoominDave]

The crows that loiter outside work have ballooned - they're like Ravens now. And we trapped a wasp with a body an inch long the other day.

 

[JessopSmythe]

Would've been more fun to feed the duck and chips to a dog!

 

[bigcol]

This conversation is getting very Hitchcock/Sci Fi!

wot a random post....... i cant say i have noticed them getting bigger, but then i havent really been paying much attention to the size of them, just too busy making sure they dont poo on my head actually...

 

[Pythagoras]

Definitely think that the Pigeons are getting bigger.

 

[lynchie]

apparently if you feed pigeons rice they get much bigger very quickly... hehehehehe :twisted:




disclaimer: do not feed pigeons rice. I cannot be held accountable for any pigeons that explode in your face...
