Neat bird shot :thumb

Now, Troy, fess up here. You've either been playing with the Color Replace Tool, or you've successfully bred a South American Parrot species with a Mourning Dove, or have accidently uncovered an evil experiment the zoo has been working on in their animal surgery center. :dunno

It's real. (http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/Birds/Index/default.cfm?id=635) Doesn't look like it, but it is.

Gosh darn it! Shoot. So it is real after all. :doh

Though, for the last hour, it was sure fun thinking that it might have been some kind of Franken-bird. (where's the Franken-bird smilie?)

of course its real! however, if you look at other examples of this bird on the net they look much thinner. they look for lack ofd a better word - emaciated. this one is obvioulsy a well fed dove. Bronx Zoo - NYC.....
