Come on Eileen!!! I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything!

Dexy's Midnight Runners! I love that song!

He's back!!! I love these pics.

[What will make Buddy “ready� for a public debut?What was his injury and what is his age? Buddy hatched at the Norfolk Botanical Garden in 2008 and was brought to the center with a case of avian pox. Unfortunately, the large pox lesion caused permanent damage to his beak, and as a result, his beak is now crooked. Once a month, Buddy is brought into the wildlife center to have a beak trim.I started training Buddy full-time in October 2010, and hope to see him getting comfortable in front of the public by late spring.]

"The birds - which pair for life - begin courting in February," Heyden said. "By June the little ones learn to fly and leave the nest; but the adults will sleep in the box, off and on, year-round." NOT Beauty!!!

I would love this prank! Then Ed can really say, "Um, I think it's time for the tree to come down!" I would say, 'but it's not really in the way!"

Yes, I've heard the joke my whole entire life...

Mercury's blowing off some steam, or pooh!

Yeah, I know 

I think the british folks get off on killing birds! 

Might that be a bit of an over-generalization, and offensive to our members and/or readers who are "british folks"?

Oh Mercy, I don't think she meant it that way. Have to admit though, they haven't been to kind to the birds in the past, especially to the falcons. Just a percentage of the people, (definitely, not all).

Is that a falcon on Mercury's hand? Hard to tell but if it is, it doesn't look like Beauty. More of a white chest!

Ok, now that's Beauty
