the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

[opmania]

This is a thread with no particular

Topic so no one can be off topic 🙂

So if anyone out there has something 

To say about anything you like now

Is your chance

Keep it clean 

And be nice 

See how long that lasts

Can we keep politics and religion out 

Of the conversation

"What do you get when you

Cross a budgie with a quail"

Could it be a budgie smuggler??????

I was going to ask about the, "E" word but now thought better of it. Talking of birds, some time ago I visited a guy that bred pigeons, while I was there he let half a dozen tumbler pigeons out of their cages for exercise - it became apparent to me why they were called tumblers when I witnessed the birds, while flying normally at a height of about 100m, suddenly start to somersault backwards and rotate in this manner for about three or four revolutions, then straighten up and continue in normal flight The owner explained to me that this behaviour is their defence mechanism from an attack by predators, to me it looked like an Ejection seat gone wrong.

  Never had I seen a bird do this before that event and never since. Could this be an evolution thing?.. Or a creation thing?

Chickens are so dumb, thats one thing I will definately agree with you there.  They poop where they nest, eat and drink, derrr lol. They'd have very little hope of survival without human intervention...

There are some birds living in my next door neighbours roof, they come down into my yard and scavange for things to make their nest out of, they take chicken feathers and straw etc and scurry back into the roof.  I love watching them work.  

In response to your other questions re; parrots, I have no idea. It's an interesting observation none the less 😉

The grumpy man doth scowl and growl,

He leapeth at his mate,

But when he landeth on the floor,

His bones doth split and grate!

Hi Joe, yes it is but not because of the footy though.

 just for curiosity who is winning?

T’was a hot summer’s day,
We were merry and gay,
Playing cricket with tadpoles and straw.
Then, as I was bowled out
With the head of a trout,
We heard a feint knock at the door.

The dogs gave a bark;
And we thought it a lark
As the door was nowhere to be seen.
So they ran round in squares
At the top of the stairs,
Chasing a lima bean.

We all stood aghast
As a crumpet flew past,
Unbuttered and not even toasted.
And there on the floor
Laid an underwear drawer
With a letter I’d already posted.

By mid-afternoon,
With the aid of a spoon,
We had whittled a boat out of cheese.
For the rest of the day
We played bridge the wrong way,
And walked on our hands and knees

Haven't finished either

Got to 73 squares and got side tracked

Started making handbags

Always next year thats the glory of it

You can take it up where

You left off

I did notice you the other

Day and thanks
