a bird on the wall


when I first saw the bird, I thought it was real.  I had to look closely and then realized it was not a real bird.  It had me fooled. :)

    LOL, Bill. Looks real to me- and you could have fooled me-I would have assumed it was real until you told me otherwise. Have a great weekend- Diana

    Count me as one of those fooled. It certainly looks real and I was going to comment on how birds have claws that allow them to cling to virtually anything, horizontal or vertical.

    Could have fooled me but if it was real it would have been a pretty dumb woodpecker, which was my first thought. Nice catch!

      I have no idea. I'll have to ask the gentleman who lives there when I see him. There was a gate so I didn't want to intrude.

    Almost fooled me, too, though even I know that white-painted bricks have very little nutritional value for birds.
