Depression Bird

[consulting_detective]

I saw this while I was out today and thought it was interesting. It's as though the bird simply gave up on life right then and there. Could you imagine what it might be like to have the ability to simply will yourself to death? I'm sure that's not what killed this bird, but it's still fascinating.

Why are there dead birds on my F-list? Please tell me you didn't bring it home and put it in with the veg.

[consulting_detective]

Singular. Only one bird. Unless someone else you watch has posted a similar photo?

[jumperfucker]

Well, if I find it in the fridge, I'm feeding it to you.

"Will yourself to death", don't try tell us you haven't tried that at some point.

[consulting_detective]

alltoseek agrees with me. If I had, it would have been your fault.

[my-croft.livejournal.com]

Childishness doesn't suit you.

[consulting_detective]

Yes, for once, I think I'd agree. Which is why I've come to the conclusion that I no longer have to listen to whatever you have to squawk about.

[my-croft.livejournal.com]

As if you ever listened.

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Probably saw you coming...

< /snark> OK, sorry, let me try again:

"'e's not dead! 'e's... resting. That's it! 'e's sleeping -er- stunned. Pining for the fjords!"

< /lame monty python reference> Er, sorry 'bout that. One more go?

Someone has been Poisoning Pigeons in the Park!

< /couldn't help that one, my mum was a big Tom Lehrer fan>

On a more serious note, I actually worked on a database for tracking dead birds in my city some years ago. They were concerned about that nasty virus spreading amongst the avifauna.


PS to my_croft above: Man, if I had you harping at me like that all the time, I'd try it to, damn.

Tell me about it. It's so refreshing to know that I'm not the only one who sees it.

No, and alltoseek isn't the only one, either. He's your brother, not your father, damn.

[consulting_detective]

Interesting.

[mazarin221b.livejournal.com]

In what way? In that some people might be on your side? (We'll, on the internet, at least. Who's to say what its like between you IRL).

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

It's pretty non-stop. He never misses an opportunity, does he?

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

If I had my_croft on at me all the time, I'd try willing HIM to death.

[marysuemanager.livejournal.com]

He doesn't know whether to be overbearing or just hateful toward CD, it'd be funny if it weren't just infuriating.

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

It's like my two boys - endless needling, to see if he can get his brother to go off. And of course he does. Over and over and over and over...

I hope my boys grow out of it :-)

[marysuemanager.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sounds like my lil sister and I. At least I can say that she's still a teen and therefore almost expected to throw a tantrum.

How old are they?

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

8 and 10

[marysuemanager.livejournal.com]

They sound sweet. I wish you good luck in raising them!

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll need it! ;-)

... On one hand, that's a pretty morbid picture. On the other hand, it looks like it's banging its head on the floor in despair, which is pretty funny.

[not-thatbill.livejournal.com]

Wonder what the hell happened to it

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

God, the poor thing!

Hope you didn't pick it up and get bird lice on you, ugh.

[verilyvexed.livejournal.com]

That is indeed fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Looks as if it just dropped down and said, "Right, I'm done. Enough of this."
