Tempting Fate

This is one daredevil blackbird, all right! (Or is that perhaps a mockingbird?).

You’d think from his actions that HE’S the one with the extra eight lives to spare. I would speculate that throughout his birdy childhood he had never read that classic fable of Aesop’s, “The Foolishly Cackling Crow and the Spring-Loaded Temporarily Hungry Tabby”.

In any case, somebody seems just about ready to enjoy an afternoon snack of exceedingly fresh (and sarcastic) fowl.

(Clue to all other birds with an attitude: seek out higher branches.)
