Donna Cori Gibson is a musician and is currently producing contemporary Catholic music. Her website is here.

One of the beautiful pictures she posts on FB got me to her page where I discovered today's image.

pretty sweet.

Gorgeous.

Couple of sidewinder missiles under the wings.

are you sure those aren't sparrow missiles?

No. I'm not sure at all. I stand corrected.

Delicious!

Now just a a minute here... How do we know that's not Papa?

it is Papa :) - as is typical in birds, the male is more brightly coloured

would have been nice if she had credited the photograph's owner - he seems a bit upset that the image has been making it's way to all corners of the internet without a credit... poor bugger, live and learn :(

I have a Papa turkey caring for three babies in the goat pen right now. Natural order?

Oak Skewered Pigeon

Take three pigeons, arrange side by side.

Pass sharpened oak stake sideways through the birds.

No, you've missed. Try again.

No, still too low, have another go.

Oh for goodness' sake, keep trying. When you get it right, hang them over a slow fire and rotate regularly. They're done when their gender ambiguity falls off.
