Are they?!.. Didn't realise they were noisy! I really like kingfishers... No idea why. Have done since I was a kid, although we never had any when I was growing up on the Isle of Wight...
Used to work as a postman, and had a crested grebe fly past my head and crash into a window of a house I delivered to once... Had the said owners of the house accusing me of all sorts till I showed them the bird... Poor facker didn't last long!
Two Owls playing pool.... First owl takes his shot and fouls as his wing brushes against a ball. Being an honest owl he say's to his mate "Two hits" The second owl replies "Two hits To Who?"
An Owl walks into a bar with his mate. Orders a couple of beers, but as the pub was noisy, the barman asks 'so that's one beer?', Owl says, no you twit, that's two!
