    Too bad that they have such a bad reputation, they really are quite handsome. Shot in early evening as the sun was getting very low. I know the perch is big, but this is an urban bird and they got that reputation partly due to their liking for man-made perches. ;)

    Survey says - no rope! So away it goes. :cool: Also did a tiny bit of lightening of the feathers around the eye.
