A wonderful bird is the pelican,
Its beak can hold more than its belly can ...
Yeah right, like small dogs

I've seen storks in North Africa riding the thermals and that was pretty impressive.

How big are condors?

I have some pics of condors from Colca Canyon ("valley of the condors") in Peru. I'll stick 'em up in the bird thread when I get on the PC, and if they are good enough pics to merit it.

It must be the same bird, cruising around the west country looking for carrion.

I did actually have a puppy stolen by an eagle once ! right in front of my eyes, from my back yard. I had ten more at the time so it wasnt too heartbreaking.

I also found a Guinea pig that had been dropped ( I presume) by a bird. Dead in the garden,perfectly round and flat, just a bag of fur with all the insides still inside .

But pelicans! I saw one fly off out to sea with a chiwawa in its beak once !!

I can't decide how best to feel about this post..
