Birds.

My day has been punctuated by incongruous birds.
(And how's that for something you don't hear every day?)

There were two geese in the parking lot at work this morning. Walking single file through the lot, one of them honking from time to time. And pretty much ignoring me, even though I came within a yard of them and probably could have got closer.

And there was a parrot perched on head of a woman in the subway on my way home. (At least I think it was a parrot, or something in the parrot family anyway.) Bright green, flecked with yellow in body and wings, red breast and head, purple band across the eyes. Amusingly, much more colorful than the woman carrying it, who wore black; her hair was black too, held out of her face by a clip that the parrot nibbled on at times.

No, there's no real significance to any of this. Just ... birds. Whee. :)

A goose tried to follow me into work the other day! I think that they're all crazy -- the homing instinct and the "how to fly" probably doesn't leave much room in their little heads for things like "this person looks at me and thinks of Christmas dinners and bedding..."
