Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for February 18, 2025

Condors and turkey vultures are the real bald birds.

Sounds like an insecurity problem … Why should it bother him so much to be called bald? What’s wrong with bald?

Maybe he is not worthy of being our national symbol.

Maybe Daren should try wearing a toupee.

bald also means white

Bald is better than a comb over. Bald can be darn right sexy.

bald is derived from the word piebald, meaning an object with stark contrasting white and black – just like the bald eagle

Hope he’s not too soar about it.

Every once in a while you see a bald bluejay. No feathers all the way down to the shoulders. It’s a situation where for some reason all the head feathers molt at the same time instead of a few at a time as they normally would. Apparently doesn’t harm the bird. Except, of course, for sel-esteem. I don’t think bluejays are known for being tactful.

Being balled is better than being bald. ;-}

I’m thinking Bald = hairless… as far as I know (not a biologist) birds don’t have hair, only feathers… so yes, bald is technically correct… but that applies to all all birds and fishes too.

Reminds me of Norm from “My Cage.”
