I've seen birds cough and sneeze, when I used to work in the pet shop.

This is where someone comes along and says its physically impossible.

Our budgies definitely sneeze - often in your face... Never heard them cough though.

Ive heard a bird fart. :rolleyes:

It was in June 2006, when an oversized Robin flew ferociously into my back garden and landed on my Jacaranda (Tropical American tree with sweet-smelling wood and pale purple flowers) It then negotiated with itself as to which leg it should hoist up. Well the left raised and out come this revolting, loathsome and gut-wrentching fart.

Mammatus :o

had she been eating a Donna Kebab? Or is that just too rude...

If she hadn't chewed and just 'rammed it home' it may have done the job.......
