   There is such a wide variety of birds there is one that most exemplifies each of our personality types. So if you could put your essence or being into one of our fine feathered friends, which lucky foul would it be, and why?

   a pelican - cuz, its beak can hold more than its belly can!  and that is exactly how I am, lots of talk, always taking on more than I can handle, but a strong flyer and I make people smile.

   I'd probably be one of those annoying seaguls that wait until toursists are entertained watching the ocean waves and fly by quickly snatching their sandwich!

    ooooh...I can't just pick one.  I would be EITHER a Cassowary because they're dangerous or a Snowy owl because they are stunning and peculiar at the same time.

       Me, I would be an eagle.  I'd love to be able to soar to the highest tops and still be able to focus on 5 different points at the same time.

    I'd like to be a pelican, cos it's beak can hold more than it's belly can.
    The most beautiful sight is watching a Pelican take off fully loaded.

          You are absolutely right my friend. My brain allowed my fingers to type "foul" while the word "fowl" remained caged within my cerebral cortex. This is why I(eye) can't trust myself to(two) post my hubs without reading them out loud first.
