Bird picture

My kitchen window, which is close to the crab apple tree where the wood pigeons eat is where a wood pigeon flew into the window pane, leaving a precise impression of its body as it tried to stall the crash. You can see the wing tips curved up like those bits at the ends of a jet aeroplane's wings. You can see the impression of the outthrust feet against the glass pane.
There is no concussed or dead bird to be seen. But I will get some window stickers like I have on the upstairs windows to deter deluded wood pigeons
The wings of a bird as it reduces its air speed are more graceful than a jet aircraft's wings. The bird's wings take on a beautiful concave curve more like The Dying Swan in Swan Lake.
I doubt if wood pigeons are among the brainiest of birds but they are very pretty in the crab apple tree and they obviously enjoy the crab apples. Perhaps they get drunk on overripe crab apples.
