[QUOTE=crazycanuck;556965] I'm not sure what was up with the green bird-either a ringneck or a rainbow lorikeet- I saw on the path this morning but it was just a wee bit odd...I was heading to a pedestrian overpass where normally there are heaps of these guys squacking & wandering around. One of them was sitting on the path very still but looked as if it was breathing. I stood by it for a few minutes wondering what exactly to do. I spoke to it & then thought perhaps i should touch it but decided against it as I'd no idea what it would do...

I moved on but am now wondering if this is normal for birdies..[/QUOT

He might have flown into something and was stunned for a bit. Very occasionally just this kind of thing will happen when a bird flies into a window here. They'll bounce off and just sort of sit for a while regatheriing their senses, and often end up recovering and flying away.
