WHAT?!
Guess I'm going to have to change my previous post about pigeons to state that we DO know what is responsible for their traveling precision.
Micro electrodes planted in their tiny brains? I’m frowning.

Sadness. Poor pigeons. WWWD (What would Wilberforce Do)? What I want to know is how flocks of birds turn almost simultaneously. Are there reflex just that good? That is just amazing to me.

Sorrry bout it, as u would say.
I just wrote a blog entry kinda related to animals that are discriminated against. I think pigeons are one such group. Poor guys.
I think, our friend Wilberforce would put up major objections! You know, I bet he would take in a couple of these guys as pets while he was at it!

That he would. I love that scene when the dinner guests are greeted by various woodland creatures (I’m thinking primarily of the bunny on the chair and wild birds hanging out by the dinner table).

That was a cool rabbit. I would be tempted to own one if it would look like that one, but then again rabbit stew would be awfully tempting too. It always bothered me in the LOTR movie that they don't get to taste the stew Sam has made before they are wisked away. I've forgotten how the book is in that regard.
