    Nope. I've never seen this one before, either.
    Neat bird shot thumb.gif

    Now, Troy, fess up here. You've either been playing with the Color Replace Tool, or you've successfully bred a South American Parrot species with a Mourning Dove, or have accidently uncovered an evil experiment the zoo has been working on in their animal surgery center. ne_nau.gif

    It's real.     Doesn't look like it, but it is.

    Gosh darn it! Shoot. So it is real after all. 11doh.gif

    Though, for the last hour, it was sure fun thinking that it might have been some kind of Franken-bird. (where's the Franken-bird smilie?)

    of course its real! however, if you look at other examples of this bird on the net they look much thinner. they look for lack ofd a better word - emaciated. this one is obvioulsy a well fed dove. Bronx Zoo - NYC.....
