A Robin was giving me the stink-eye today. Pretty tough look from a bird that can’t keep its wings in place.

@cliffordbeshers Maybe they’ve got some injuries? (A cry for help).

@odd Moments later its wings were back in place and if flew away. So, not injured, but some birds pretend to be to lure away predators from nests. I don't really know anything other than it looked broken, but it didn't stay that way for long,.

@cliffordbeshers I didn’t know that. Smart birds. Hope they are doing well now. Which reminds me, I have to get som “meiseboller”. (Bird food).

@cliffordbeshers It seem's you are correct. Apparently, “nearly 300 species that perform the broken-wing display across the world.”

@gregmoore @cliffordbeshers If I’m ever in a group of people, and we’re attacked by an eagle, I’ll tell them to do that!
