Ice cream stealing birds.

  • Not. Funny. You don't mess with ice cream. Lil' bastards. I'd be trollin' with a tennis racket. *dislikes nasty gulls--the flying rats of the shore*
  • So many awesome captures.. were these birds trained?
  • I hate it when spumonic steals my parakeet!
  • Err, spumoni.
  • I'm looking for Hitchcock appearing as "Man walking poodle" in the background.
  • Spumoni? Is that whale snot?
  • seriously, am I the only one who never forgets that birds = modern dinosaurs. be happy they're just stealing your ice cream, people! also, yes, a hitchcock cameo would be extremely awesome
  • Hahahahahahahahahahahhahaha! Excellent post, polychrome - thanks.
  • Turtle Bird the parrot found this site screamingly hilarious... and then began eyeballing my kulfi in a MOST unsettling way. Definitely, birds = dinosaurs, Medusa, and they know it. Plus, a seagull bite is no fun--better to let 'em have the ice cream. (Fishing line strung above outdoor eating areas will prevent this sort of thing from happening, BTW.)
  • I never had a bird eat my ice cream but did get divebombed by one once in Canada. Think it was trying to steal my glass of scotch. Another time at an outdoor restaurant, my wife had a bird swoop down and poop in her glass of iced tea. She told the waitress what happened and asked for a different glass. The woman eyed her suspiciously, told her "That's the risk of sitting on the patio" and flatly stated that we would be held responsible for paying for the second glass. My wife calmly explained that we weren't trying to scam a free drink - her glass of tea was full - she just didn't want to drink bird poop and was QUITE willing to shell out a dollar or two to avoid it. I know people try to scam stuff all the time, but I still think the waitress was being a bitch about that whole thing.
  • I'd have escalated to the manager. Like, you can't see bird doo in the tea? Even if you really couldn't, T(P)CIAR. And when the paying customer is always right--GET THE BLUDDY TEA ALREADY!
