Bird strike!
When kukupa fly into clean windows, thinking they are making for a distant stand of trees, it ends badly.
This guy won't be stripping my plum trees ever again.

Guess what the Guytons are having for dinner.
It'd be more apéritif - he's surprisingly skinny, despite my denuded plum trees.
Anyway, that'd be wrong, Shunda :-)
Well there's no sense in wasting it!!
Maybe it wanted you to eat it, flying into a window and dropping at your feet kind of sounds like food delivery to me.
Perhaps next time it will land in your mouth so there is no doubt! :)
Shunda is correct, you must it eat. It put all that effort into marinading itself with your plums, the only other thing it could have done is flown into your oven before killing itself.
You are both terribly persuasive and my resolve is crumbling, only...
it's so thin! I suspect its lack of plumpness points to a problem and I'm not sure that a poorly bird is the best one to eat. Maybe it's eyesight was failing or it's inner-ear malfunctioning? Adding to my uncertainty is the fact that it wasn't my window it flew into, but my neighbours. The plums too, don't seem to have done the marinating you describe, AC, her being so thin and all. While we're on the subject of kamakazi pigeons, I know a woman who was standing behind a window when a well-fed bird smashed it's way through, buried its beak in her forehead and scratched a line of claw-marks down her face as it collapsed to the floor - unlikely sounding, far-fetched even, but I saw the scratches and know that she's a God-fearin', truth tellin' woman and wouldn't lie...
What do you make of that?
What do you make of that?
A pie, perhaps.
Merry Christmas, too.
Wrapped in clay and baked el fresco, gypsy-style, that's the way to eat pigeon!
Merry Christmas to you too, AC.
