If you could reincarnate as an animal, which one/s would you choose?

... and some might say there's no such thing as a Centaur
But this baby Unicorn promised to find one ...

I've often thought I would like to be a bird because feathers all over would be better than having troublesome hair just on the head. Also, with a beak there would never be the problem of tooth decay.

What kind of bird? I think I would like to be a galah - pretty grey and pink plumage and lots of other galah chums to hang about with. Plus, they always seem to be having so much fun.

Are those your photos? What a Beauty.

The first time I saw one was 21 years ago. As close as the one in this video, at the same castle! The silly music goes after about 15 seconds:

Yes they are my photos and thank you. That’s very close . Love the video. Where was that?

We see them here all the time. The closest I got to one was feeding fresh fish to a mating pair 2 years ago. It was quite exciting. They are such majestic looking birds. IMG_0066.jpegIMG_0232.jpegIMG_0281.jpegIMG_0279.jpeg

They are amazing birds, thanks for the pictures.

When growing up in Florida we could find them, most often on the barrier islands in the Gulf. I had to learn early on the difference between the Bald Eagle and the much more common Osprey. Watching them feed I decided the eagle was more a scavenger, if they got the chance, only a predator of live when they did not. The Osprey and some hawks were more likely to catch live fish.

Now in Utah we see a lot of them in winter. There are extensive wetlands on the east side of the Great Salt Lake, a combination of those wetlands and the thermal warming from the lake attracts a lot of them in winter. Most I have seen at a time is probably a dozen in Willard Canyon, about 5 miles south of here. When I am lucky I see one in our yard, we are less than a mile from the Bear River Bird Refuge, the largest one along the lake. Here's where you can see bald eagles in Utah this winter https://bearriverblogger.com/best-location-for-viewing-winter-bald-eagles-in-northern-utah/ Amazing birds, they must be found most everywhere in North America.

Impressive video, I had no idea they could be trained like that. It would be illegal to do that here, they are our national bird. The only legal captives I know of are some that have been rescued with injuries that don't allow rerelease. Its even illegal for us to possess a single feather...

I went to a movie. The guy seated next to me suspected that I was a fox.
”Are you a fox?,” he questioned.
”Yes,” I replied.
”Why are you at a movie?,” he asked.
”Because I liked the book,” I answered… 🦊
 
A Pelican on the NC Coast. I could just soar in a row with friends overhead and keep an eye on my family below. Then I could rest on a post at the the marinas watching the sunrises, sunsets, boats sailing by or docking. Nobody messes with them...only smiles.
