Excellent work Armagnac, YS from Vilnius:) Amitiés, Jurgis
Arma', on March 5, said:
Tamás, actually the bird was there for getting some fish (it's a fish stall at the market of Victoria). I'm glad you like the shot ! Thanks for your kind visit.
Massimo grazie della visita e dei complimenti, sono contento che ti piaccia :)
Jurgis, thanks a lot for your YS, I'm glad you like it, but I just got lucky to be in front of a funny scene, I just had to shoot. Amitiés !

Bravissimo Armagnac! Questo uccello (come si chiama?), e un bicchiere con la cannuccia ripetono in sua forma... Una grandissima stella per te da S.Pietroburgo, ciao, Julia
Anto&Nino Saya, on March 6, said:
Bravissimo? Bravissimissimo! :-)
Arma', on March 6, said:
Anto&Nino, graziessimo !
cara Julia, mi piacciono gli uccelli, pero non sono affatto intenditore per i nomi... non avevo fatto caso alla cannuccia quando ho scattato, ho semplicemente bersagliato l'uccello quando si era avvicinato al bicchiere (che non l'interessava minimamente, mangiano i resti dei pesci del mercato). solo dopo, guardando la foto, sono anche stato colpito da quel particolare stilistico, sono contento che tu l'abbia anche notato :) e un grandissimo grazie per la stella.

Brant McDowell, on March 9, said:
Suddenly the stork population is hit by the fast food crazy and with it the obesity epidemic jumps species.... Obesity would be a big issue if you live to fly. LOL
Great photograph Armagnac!

Arma', on March 9, said:
thank you dear emr ! Brant, thanks a lot for your visit and your funny comment :) (but I believe this bird is not a stork)
Brant McDowell, on March 10, said:
Glad I could share my amusement… as for the misidentification of the ‘stork’ I ask forgiveness; I am a geologist not an Ornithologist LOL.
Take care Armagnac
Arma', on March 10, said:
forgiveness granted... I couldnt name many stones :)
DailyMadness, on March 10, said:
The bird looked at the beverage's owner cautiously. It would like to have a taste, "if you have one buddy, why not me?" it thought and froze. He would wait.. Greetings from Greece
Arma', on March 10, said:
DailyMadness, thanks for your funny comment :)

AXOTA, on March 20, said:
How 'sophisticated' the birdlife is in the Seychelles.
Clearly the bird is intoxicated judging by his wobbly legs. Great photo Armagnac -I like your sense of humour. ;-)

Arma', on March 20, said:
so rum is bad for the joints, you think so Jim ? they should only drink this
Armagnac:)
Richard Ryer, on March 28, said:
Greetings Armagnac, This would be a beautiful photo just of the bird, but your addition of the cup is great. Nice job. The comments above are wonderful.
Cheers,
Rich
Arma', on March 28, said:
greetings Rich ! thanks from the bird :)

He sure has nicer weather for a cool drink outside than we have now :-) Very nice and funny!
Arma', on March 29, said:
absolutely ! and there, coffee is not very good (at all), he'd better drink fruitjuice.

Stunning! This bird seems to like drinks with fruits!
Greetings Alfred
Arma', on March 29, said:
Alfred thanks a lot ! but the bird was just passing by, I bet he prefers beer ;)
AXOTA, on March 29, said:
I shake my head here reading this crazy, fun-filled conversation Armagnac, the humourous comments just get better and better. Like a daily cartoon show this is compelling viewing for me. Please keep it up folks.
Cheers.

Arma', on March 29, said:
dear Jim I bet he'd shake his own head even stronger, our flying friend, if he could read us. Good thing they don't go to school instead of going to bars.

Cet oiseau a besoin d'une boisson fraîche! Merci beaucoup pour cette photo amusante qui m'a fait sourire! Amitiés, Anne
Arma', on March 29, said:

Was she puzzled by the straw? With that beak she did not need to use it?

actually she didn't pay any attention to the drink since it wasn't a fish soup :) greetings gondor

The bird is now paraletic Armagnac.
It has drunk too much, in your absence. (¬j^)
Cheers.
Jim
Arma', on April 11, said:
Vincenzo grazie del tuo voto ! come va questo concorso, c'è qualche novità ?
Jim, I bet you would do it too for the bird, they must be aware that we don't eat these ! Regards :)
Abdallah, bien vu ! Je savais bien que cet oiseau me rappelait quelque chose, bien qu'il ne s'agisse pas d'une cigogne :) Carlo, ce n'est pas si courant qu'on fasse un lien entre Jean de la Fontaine et René Magritte... mais pourquoi pas après tout, les oiseaux nous ouvrent bien des horizons.

AXOTA, on April 26, said:
Have you thought what the bird may be thinking Armagnac ? Look closely at the confused expression on its face, its eyes focussing intently on the Straw. Perhaps it is thinking------'I wonder where the other leg is'-- (^j-)
