    After days of drawing a blank on a new theme, I was just about to ask for suggestions from you guys when it hit me. And it's so simple. With the last contest, two types of birds tied for the winner. So, this time, it's all about the birds. Avatars of any kind of birds (real ones, though, no fake birds and then arguing it was "any kind of bird"), in any situation.

    As usual, 200x200 pixels and/or 1 Mb maximum size, and no media.

    Here's a couple of turkeys sitting on a fence. I took this about a month ago in my Mother's backyard.

    Gotta say, for a moment I went "Don't know what that is, but it's not a bird", until I figured out that it's, well, more than one. In my defense, you don't see a flock fly like that every day. Which on the flipside means, fantastic entry.

    It's kinda sad to admit this, but I've become unduly focused on what would constitute a "fake bird" in a non-media context. You mean something like this?

    At any rate, you'd probably appreciate an actual entry, so here we go:

    I actuallly feared somebody entering some sports mascot or a marketing gimmick. Or a stuffed toy bird. But, yeah, that would qualify as a fake bird as well.
