Bird Portraits - Post Yours!

This is about a bit of footage we once saw. In which this sweet little bird captured and ferociously killed another songbird and literally picked its brain. We were all kinda traumatised by it...

Seriously? These birdies kill? Where did you see that?

In effect the current Portraits thread is an 'all birds' thread, so I'm not sure how this thread is going to be any different. How do you define a bird portrait? One that shows just the face?

That's correct. According to Websters, the 'face' and the 'bust' make for a portrait. Not full body shots. I wouldn't care if Levina killed the "All Birds" thread, just so long as it's made known that birds in flight and all birds are accepted in 'Portraits.' What say you, Levina?
My apologies to all for starting a stir over this, that wasn't my intention.

Nah, it's all good, Kirk. And I pretty much did what you suggest here. I changed it back to Bird Portraits and added something to the opening post.
