a sky rat lol.. when i lived in phoenix AZ those things were everywhere and they crapped all over everything, my apartment had a deck and i had to go out a few times a week with hot water and a scrub brush to get rid of all the poop. most businesses had stuff all over the place to try and keep them off the roofs and what not. i never had anything against pigeons till i lived there haah

but if one landed one me that would still be pretty cool, nice pic.

camp robber bird of Ohio - Google Search

Quite a few species of birds turn into "camp robbers"...we have a species here in the west that is commonly called a Camp Robber...they are sooooooo into human provided food! They willingly land on your hands or shoulders or tables, asking for handouts. In high-mountain camping scenarios, if you don;t cover your food, they will fly right down and take as much as they can if the food is left unattended for a minute or more.

i guess most animals, if the get accustomed to being around humans all the time loose their fear.

i remember going to a place in Florida called bok towers when i was a kid, people feed the animals there all the time, i set down and a couple of different squirrels crawled up the back of my shirt and got up on my shoulder to get some food. i remember the little claws did not feel that pleasant as they climbed up.
