Photo AlbumThe Birds of San FranciscoDec 1, '07 2:00 AM
for everyone
I hadn’t really been taking many photos during our travels the past months. First of all because Hugz and I see the same things and we invariably found ourselves training our sights at the same targets. Eh, mas maganda ang camera niya (but am not conceding na mas magaling ang mata niya, bwahaha!), so I am content to just view his postings. However, while reviewing my San Francisco shots, I noticed that I took a lot of photos of the birds there.

So, here it is. The birds of San Francisco. Sangkatutak sila, hindi takot sa tao, nakakatuwa.

Ikaw ba ang Birdwoman of Alcatraz? : )

Naalala mo siguro yung movie Birdman of Alcatraz kaya nagka-interest kang kunan ang mga birds of San Francisco. This is an interesting study of bird behavior.

Sa Manila hindi tatagal yang mga ibon na yan. Kakainin ng mga tao.

Those blackbirds are really daring. We had encountered these birds while we were eating inside Costco diner and at Starbucks too...they are not afraid of humans.They will swoop and grab your food as soon as you turn around.Cute thou.

Hindi ko iniismol ang mga kapwa ko Pinoy, sinasabi ko lang ang katotohanan. Mukhang gusto ko yata yung VIP room na sinasabi mo.

Bakit, ano ba ang ginagawa ng lalaki? Sa tingin ko nakaupo lang siya.
cyfunk wrote on Dec 2, '07
Kaya nga ba while enjoying your clam chowder in your sourdough bread, we are told not to feed the birds kasi hindi ka nila titigilan ng pagpapa-kyot...hindi ka na makakakain, kasi intimidating sila...
cyfunk wrote on Dec 2, '07
G, hindi lang pala fish ang kinokolekta mo, pati birds na!
cyfunk wrote on Dec 2, '07
When birds get near people and they come in flocks, I am reminded of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller "The Birds". Scary yun!

O di ba, sumabay pa sa mama, baka kasi hindi siya makita ng cars, masagasaan! Ay, puede naman pala siyang lumipad! HLH

Ang tagal niya diyan. Di ko alam kung ano hinihintay niya, hehe.
o kaya waiting for her syota, who may have stood her up.:-P
Kung ikaw nga, Guia, nakatagal panuorin siya, siay pang hindi makatagal pumatong duon sa ibabaw ng maliit nyang platform...wehehehe

I just saw the "Birdman of Alcatraz" with Burt Lancaster last week. Boboy and I had the same trend of thought, are you the "Birdwoman of Alcatraz"?

Many years ago, si Jamm naiputan ng seagull sa Fisherman's Wharf while in flight. He cannot forget that. Buti hindi siya naging bato as in the story of Ibong Adarna.
hugzone wrote on Dec 2, '07
Actually it was assisting the man to cross the road. : )

Nakakalipad si Jamm? Ang galing.

Ay mali! Actually while the seagull was in flight, he dropped the bomb on Jamm.

LOL...Ibong Adarna...I almost forgot about this until you mentioned it...high school Pilipino subject namin na nabasa ko to...I can't believe I forgot the part where may gift yung ibon at hinulog nga strategically...

kung yung bird na to umupo sa silya or sa table at nag peruse ng menu..ok rin....hihimatayin na ako sa tuwa...

I expressed the same thought to my companions when I first saw these fat little birdies...

*defensive when noticing the menacing looks from other people and bird-lovers* what?! its true! I swear!

This was actually an early breakfast. Pag bukas ng pinto naka-abang na rin sila. The early bird catches the bacon. Hehehe.

Aba, iba talaga ang SFo birds - the early bird doesn't catch the worm, but the bacon! LOL

so...in the animal world, will it happen as BNK said, at may third sex? think of it - gay fish, gay rooster (eto, parang may napuna ako), gay dog...
hugzone wrote on Dec 4, '07
Naku patay, liliko na naman ang usapan. Rooster to pig: bakit ka palaging nakatungo? Pig: gay ang payrents ko.
cuh888 wrote on Dec 4, '07
eherm...ano yung "nakatungo"? ang nasa isip ko is "pointing"...pero mali yata...
cuh888 wrote on Dec 4, '07
teka muna....pause to giggle ako about the rooster at pig na nakatungo (uhm..I will find out the meaning later)

o sya..balik muna tayo sa usapang bird...at baka mapunta ako sa usapang pagkain...hehehe

Mahilig ka ba sa bird Cat?
gwiz wrote on Dec 4, '07
Of course, mahilig ang cat sa birds. Remember Sylvester and Tweety Bird? At saka, I remember an incident in my childhood in Proj. 8 wherein our tomcat devoured the hatchlings of an unfortunate maya who made the mistake of making its nest under the eaves of our house. =(

This is a variation of a joke about a biik (young pig) who would go around with his nose on the ground (as pigs are wont to do, anyway, sniffing around I guess for food). Nakatungo siya palagi, parang nahihiyang tumingin sa taas. Ang tanong sa biik: "Bakit ka palaging nakatungo?" Sagot ni biik, "Nahihiya ako kasi baboy ang parents ko!"

I love birds, so mahilig na mahilig BNK *grin*

the ones that fly, not those that flop around.
