Drabble by Kevin Fagan for May 25, 2014

I once toured a specialized aviary of nothing but various species of hummingbirds. One of them was fascinated by the shiny red shutter button on my camera and followed me through the entire exhibit.

A word of caution to mouth breathers.

Ralph’s just a party pooper…Sorry, had to do that :)

I’m calling shenanigans! That shirt was made into a dog bed cover earlier in the week!

Dunno. That’s part of the humor in the strip.

When I was a kid we went to Busch Gardens and a macaw sitting up in a tree pooped on my Aunt’s bee-hive hairdo. UCKO

He is just not guano learn.

His jacket matches his shirt!

If you’re actually looking up at the birds, you’re much less likely to be under them when you crap on you.On the other hand, I was at an outdoor zoo, not an aviary, in San Antonio, when a passing pigeon hit me in the shoulder with an aerial bomb during a flyby.

This happened to me after someone dropped something heavy in the aviary and all the birds simultaneously evacuated their bowels and took flight. One of the zoo keepers was nice enough to hose us off.

I’m wondering why there wasn’t some “rare South American parrot” in there — you know, the kind that takes on the characteristics of a duck.

whys honeybunch so mean to ralph though
