Hi Michael - a really unique and very useful approach for mine.... agree with 
you regarding the jizz - see no reason why a similar approach wouldnt be useful 
here - theres so many people taking images of birds these days in all manner of 
poses and environments so one can imagine no shortage of images that could be 
used.



cheers
