birds

Hunting upland birds like quail, dove, grouse and pheasant has it's challenges. Most center around terrain, guns, gear, dogs and proper technique. After watching this video maybe we're going about it all wrong! After all there's no need for dogs, gear and guns when you can just reach out and grab them out of mid air.

An angry pheasant is terrorizing a family in a sleepy village in Great Britain by constantly attacking them every time they leave the house.

Just as he finished a sermon on Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI symbolically released two doves into the air as a call for peace. But soon after the birds took flight, an aggressive seagull began dive bombing one of them. Uh oh. We're generally not superstitious, but we sure hope this isn't a sign of bad things to come.

Warning: our obsession with baby animals is unstoppable. Can you honestly blame us, though? We're already suckers for anything fuzzy and adorable, but when it comes in a tiny version, we're just sucked in automatically. Remember miniature puppies or itty bitty kittens? Our point exactly.

Spirit the eagle, Auburn University’s mascot, took its traditional aerial tour around the bleachers of Jordan-Hare Stadium before the kickoff of Auburn’s football game against Mississippi State on Saturday.

Things get even stranger in this new viral video from the former Soviet Union, which shows two wannabe ninjas in a public square engaging in what can only be described as a duel involving live pigeons.

If you’ve ever feed pigeons in the park or seagulls at the beach, you’d know that some of our feathered friends have become pretty comfortable getting up close and personal with humans. This little fellow — who stubbornly refuses to leave its perch on a windshield wiper even as the car’s driver switches the wipers on and off — takes that comfort to another level.
