I worked with one once...
...sociable little feller, he was, but didn't really do much work. Just flapped around, squawked a bit and...

...oh, wait...bastard colleagues? Sorry.


_{I really am very, very sorry.}

I like it
can't beat a good pun

I was thinking yesterday of a gameshow where the quizmaster says "ok contestants, fingers on buzzards"

resulting in much savaging by medium-large birds of prey.

A game hunter...

Another time,
working in an office next to a wild bird sanctuary. They had some pretty rare specimens, so I thought it was more than a little out of order when one of our colleagues starting sneaking into the sanctuary to take a dump. We told our manager, who was no help at all. He simply vowed to "catch the bastard hoopoes there."
