\"UpsideUpside down Chukar<\/span><\/p>\n

Just some funny images of birds for a Monday. These photos\u00a0just beg for humorous\u00a0captions.<\/p>\n

This one could be “I swear I heard something rip” or “Boy, my skinny legs make my butt look fat”.<\/p>\n

\"Ring-neckedRing-necked Duck attitude<\/span><\/p>\n

This one could be “I told you get off MY pond!” or “Get outta my face, no paparazzi allowed!”.<\/p>\n

\"HidingHiding female Ring-necked Pheasant<\/span><\/p>\n

I think this female Ring-necked Pheasant thought if she crouched down that I couldn’t see her. I couldn’t come up with a great caption for this image, maybe you can? For any of them for that matter and the funnier the better!<\/p>\n

Happy Monday!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
