This is probably more of an unusual moment rather than an unusual object but I thought it was funny and had to submit it.

So I am editing this photo, chuckling away, and the kids heard me and ran over to the computer screen to see what was so funny. So I said "Look! hehehe". They stood there for a second and their faces froze in that transition moment between "oh, not really funny" and "oh maybe I should humor mom with a half smile". Then they looked at me, said nothing, and turned away. I'm thinking this might bomb lol.

Three birds at the Toledo Zoo. I could not believe how close I could get to them to take a picture (this was part of an open aviary exhibit). I think they were pretty used to having their picture taken :)

OMG, the story behind this one is priceless! And I did indeed find it amusing during voting. Beyond the humor, the detail is excellent - what gorgeous birds they are, even if some of 'em come without heads.

Makes me smile. The bird in the center looks surprised to see the headless one on the right.
