Silly aviation pictures.

Obviously not a Stol pigeon. I have never seen a bird perched at 90 degrees to a strong wind. Photo shopped?

If it was a budgie, it could have been nailed to its perch (just ask John Cleese)

Obviously a very slow flight. Not exactly "bird strike from behind" slow, but nearly.

WW2 British bombers carried pigeons, but I don't think they had to perch outside.

Of course it can fly, but only vertically, and in a dive.

I guess your point is that they should have been mounted upright on top of the wing.

The healthy alternative to long range drop tanks??

If it happened to be photoed in OZ, can't you just see CASA crapping themselves in attempts to identify the pilot/cyclist?

That 'Otter' with the tinnie sure looks like a Beaver (Beavers have flat tails - Otter tails are rat-like, that's how you tell the difference).
