What's the strangest bird you've had in your yard? I had one of these guys show up about three years ago, it took me a while to find out what it was.

I have about 40 of those in my yard. ;) I bet the boys that pheasant hunt out in the Wenas get an occasional COOL pheasant. As mentioned earlier, I lost a real expensive one. I keep wishing he'd mysteriously appear. I have that happen now and again. The cheap ones, I just enjoy....the expensive ones...game on...slamon net in hand.
Hear's the story. Idabooner was sitting at the breakfast table one winter morning in Twisp. It was about 20 below zero out and crisp and cold. I'm eating my cocoa pebbles and he is eating his bacon and eggs. He says....look, there is a parakeet on the railing of the porch. Yeha right, how gullibl do you think I am. No really, there is a parakeet on the porch. I look out the frosty picture window. Sure as *censored*, there is a blue parakeet sitting on the railing of our porch in a skiff of snow, all fluffed up. I opened the door and captured him. He didn't put up much of a fight. I figured the shock would kill him. Turns out his name was Joey, he told me so. He was a very loyal friend for a long time. I finally gave him to one of my moms old friends that was lonely. He culd talk alot and would sit on my shoulder and stroke my ear. Cute little bugger. We checked with all the neighbors, and they just ooked at me like I looked at my Dad at the breakfast table. Who knows where he came from, and why he landed on my porch.

Had a peacock show up and decided to become one of my chickens for about 4 months and then he moved on. For the past 4 or 5 years he has roamed about a square mile around us visiting house to house. We call him Fred. Now I have a ton of turkey vultures and bald eagles eating on the coyote and cow carcasses that are in he neighbor's pasture.
