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.
