Dickybird

My brother John who is a nudgy little bastard responded to my post about the Jeanbird saying, “What about a dickybird?”

Pretty funny, I thought, and then it hit me.  What would a Dickbird look like?  My Dad’s name was Dick so it certainly would have piercing blue eyes, long legs (a wader perhaps), a shock of white hair, and a booming chirp.  Well, not a chirp exactly, a bellow.

A sharp intrusive beak perfect for skewering, and a rather elegant look while flying.  When resting, the dickbird sinks into himself looking like an old guy in a trenchcoat about to flash you.

So John, that about does it on my end.
