CONTEST: BIRD/ANIMAL ANTROPHOMORPHISM

[PetKal]

A complicated title, yet a simple idea: show us birds (animals) acting as if they were people, i.e., resembling human behaviour. That's the new theme.
For example, the image below can be taken to show devoted love.

The entries are due by Thursday (tomorrow) 23:00 hrs EST.

Please note: Dedicated bird/animal shooters should not be at any intrinsic advantage here because we are soliciting spirited entries, not neccessarily just sharp images.

Here is one that reminds me of how attentive my wife is when I talk with her.

Nice Murano glass, POlliana Lasagna......another memento from the Venetian "photography assignment" ? (Obviously, after photographing Italian hi technology/proprietary process facilities, you had enough time on your hands for pleasure.;) )

His sense of commanding selfimportance appears overwhelming. He clearly belongs in the board room of the City Corp or behind the steering wheel of a Porschuh (sic) SUV.

Well, I suppose we should take your word for it, but to me the guy looking into the camera looks very much like Condyk. The other guy could be Ronald or Busterboy for all we know.

[jorj7]

Here is the shot just a few seconds before. Do they still look like your "friends"...

Great Gods! Some of the pictures in this thread... My retinas shall be forever burned. Surprised someone hasn't brought back a certain squirrel.

I have nothing on these. I shall simply sit back and spectate. If I should feel so brave!

That's pretty good.

I hope these two huggers have found each other eventually.

[MDJAK]

There is no way, no how that I'm going to be dumb enough to point out that the "complicated" title is spelled wrong. Uh-uh. It might be held against me in the final judging.

Who loves ya, Baby?

[sugarzebra]

I know I've posted this before but 'River Dance Blue Jay' is the only example of anthropomorphism I could find (save for a few seals posing in a manner that would rightly earn the rejected stamp from the judge)

[jorj7]

OK, how about flashing gang signs in Oakland, CA?

I thought bird photography was the only true test of one's manhood (Note
for the PC crowd: species wise, not sexually) when it came to photography...

BTW George, that's an excellent shot, as far as bird photography goes.
