Nothing to do with throwing back, but what bird is that? I'm guessing some sort of pigeon but I've never seen one in those colours and I've never seen one sheltering chicks.
I have no idea but isn't she gorgeous! She looks like a pigeon but I am wondering if she is photo shopped. The colors just caught my eye and looked so bright and spring-like that I thought she would look nice on my header. I love how she is protecting the babes.
Never thought about her colouring being enhanced.
Mary -- if it was messed around with they did a really good job. I think it is gorgeous.
