Birds and blasts

.

Missiles, mortars, and rockets are not the only things falling from our sky.

I wonder if a pigeon can get a heart attack from hearing too many Red Alert sirens and feeling explosions in the sky.

UPDATE July 24:
Look at this! An owl was hit by a mortar is being treated for shrapnel wounds!

  2. Poor little bird. Here, when fireworks are set off like on the 4th, there have been some large bird kills reported. Rockets are probably even worse for this.

  4. Dina - You, and everyone in the land is in our hearts and thoughts every hour. May angels keep you safe.

    At least IDF soldiers have the dignity of risking and giving their lives for somethings 100% worthy. US soldiers in some no-where piece of rock in Afghanistan are the height of sin absurdity. Shalom

  20. Poor pigeon. I guess it represents the wildlife that is also affected by conflict.
