    wow thank you for the Gold!!! and congrats to the other wintners ... i felt compelled to write something erotic about these wonderously shaped entities .... flamingos are easy to write about that way, but crows and ravens and blackbirds are very underrated ... did you know the crow sounds like a laugh when its speaks? i like to tell a joke to a tree full of crows and then they cackle down at me and i always take a bow ... my friends roll in laughter when i do that

      Yes, i did know that, for i have four that frequent my back yard, they also make a low whirring mechanical sound, like they are plotting and talking under their breath.

      They take my breath away when they swoop down into my yard yard in an arc with such a flourish - so beautiful

      Loved your entry, well deserved and thank you!
