After an extensive online check I was finally able to identify these mysterious birds as cowbirds. They moseyed into the yard a week or so ago and seem to be tame enough. I had a try at milking them the other day. Not as difficult as I would have thought. Branding them on the other hand proved to be a bit more difficult. The branding iron was much larger than they are.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Hilarious, Wendell. You might want to stay out of the sun for a couple of days and drink plenty of liquids. Not milk of course.
There was a guy on here that used to do this a lot.

I'm surprised they strayed from the farm to your place and you were able to get this shot. Did you call them?????? Clever work here.

As I said above A 1 work but seeing its a first place think I was a little low in rating the image so congrats and a triple A rating.
