Kes or Craig David?

Yes.

Although it's probably more telling on me that I get both

 

[GravyMonster]

I'd go with Sparrowhawk.

But I'd be thinking of Wilma.

We had one completely decimate a pigeon in the middle of our lawn the other week. Poor pigeon didn't stand a chance, it was total carnage!

Professional cage fighter pigeon.

The males are small so only take smaller birds, but the females will rag a pigeon no problem.

Yeah I seen similar but it was a huge herring gul vs a pigeon, it was just a feather explosion then a feeding frenzy.

Crazy lol

Remember guys that birds aren't real. They are actually drones operated by Ingsoc to spy on us proles and use the power lines to recharge themselves.

Definately a Sparrowhawk. We had one around here a couple of years back and he was a real psycho. I spend a lot of time gardening in the summer and two or three times in a week this Sparrowhawk would knock some poor bird out of the sky and the victim would crash to the earth very close to me followed by the Sparrowhawk who would glare at me as if to say come near me and i'll have you!! Fearless he was and I am sure he was aiming his victims at me. One day he was chasing a dove while I was minding my own business cutting the lawn only to nearly have my head taken off by a terrified dove being chased by this lunatic Sparrowhawk. Another time I had some doves feeding at the feeding station I had at the time and he dived down out of nowhere and did a instakill on a dove. The speed he hit it at was astounding so no wonder it was dead. He then ripped it apart in front of me. Talk about brutal!!
