Despite the odds of me crossing paths with these brave avians within the sterile confines of my subdivision being galactically low, they decided to show their shriveled faces the very day after the turkey holocaust!

Ladies and gentlemen, it doesn’t get any more gay than this.
I think this one takes the prize.
