Bird Man II

I once met this man who loved birds of prey. He talked to the birds

in their own language and they talked back to him in English. This

is a picture of the man talking to the bird in bird talk. Notice

the movement of his hand. He was explaining why birds fly and hunt

for food while men sit around all day arguing about politics,

religion, and the weather. I think the bird was confused by the

logo on the man's shirt. Later that day the bird asked me why a guy

who loved birds would have a horse on his shirt. I couldn't answer

the question so I said, "Hey, why do fools fall in love?"

Looks a little like Clint Eastwood? :-) This is cool. Do you know anything more about the thing on the bird's head?

Poor bird - looks like he has a hood on so he can't see! I'm surprised the fellow has no gloves on - I think that bird could do some serious damage!!! Thanks for sharing...

That hood also drew my attention. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Maybe that's why he doesn't have a glove on? Nice little story, Howard.

Howard, so different ,and unusual,what is really bizarre is the hood on the birds head and the man's gesture, and one wonders what is going on there...your little story is just in place.... I would have cloned that white pole in the bg. composition, exposure and B/W are very good. Pnina

Good story Howard. Funny, before I read Your comment,I wondered about the horse too..You got the typical character,well expressed,they belong together.

Good one-good story.

Cute story Howard. I often wonder why "fools" fall in love? Maybe because falling in love makes us all act like "fools"? LOL

 

Both subjects have their "hats" on :)I like that. My only complaint is the white streak in the background. My eyes find it a little distracting. I might clone it out or burn it in. Other than that, super capture!
