Orange and black are aggressive colors. They are the colors of sports teams and Halloween. When I saw orange and black in the plum tree I got out my camera. A big oriole was making a meal of the bugs and worms there.
He was a bird with attitude.
When he flew to the lawn he was met by an adversary.
None shall pass.
What?
None shall pass!
I have no quarrel with you, good Sir, but I must cross this lawn.
Then you shall die.
I command you to stand aside!
I move for no bird.
So be it!
Now! Stand aside, worthy adversary.
Come on you pansy!
You are indeed brave, Sir, but the fight is mine.
Oh, had enough, eh?
Chicken! Chicken!
You’ll what?
Come ‘ere!
What are you going to do, bleed on me?
I’m invincible!
You’re a loony.
Come on then!
You orange fool! Come back here and take what’s coming to you…I’ll bite your leg off!
And if you haven’t already guessed, the script is adapted from the clash between The Black Knight and King Arthur in Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail.

HAHAHAHAHA, my FAVE! You are brilliant Ms. looney, BRILLIANT I say! The photos are incredible- I want your camera! Tell me what it is and the lenses you have or just send it to me...along with the talent behind the lens...
I love your pictures and your narration of the attack. So awesome!
You always catch animals in the most exciting ways and seem to know exactly what they are saying.

Oh, Leenie, what a superb post! Very clever and the first photo is just gorgeous.
I like your header, too. Maybe you've had it there awhile.....I haven't been doing much blog reading lately. Happy blogging!
Was it an African swallow or a European swallow?
Oh, great post. I'm with Linda Sue... I want your camera! Such vivid colors.
ha ha ha ha - gorgeous photos.
Although your narration was drowned out with the bird singing "I'm so pretty, I'm so pretty, I'm so pretty and witty and wISE"
Wow!! This is just outstanding!! I can't believe it..what captures. If I could catch something besides a lizard (lol)..I'd be beside myself. Your little narration spices it up quite nicely I might add! The colors are pure delight against the vivid green grass- bravo and thanks for this share-
Wonderful commentary to go along with the even a more wonderful photo series! You are so creative and the story fits perfect with the bird’s actions.
Fabulous photos - and as for the commentary .... just brilliant!! A really entertaining post!!!
Its just a flesh wound!.... wait... we already got one!
