Looks like a Rat bird hybrid. I agree with eddie's conclusion.

How about this one?

Dinosaurs were/are birds man. You have to accept it.

Where's Taft?

Eaten by wolves.

I think that's well accepted now.  But dinosaurs being the ancestors of birds is very different from T Rex looking like a feather duster.  We do have some examples of their skin being preserved - and while some had a few feathers, not all did.

I took the kids to the Royal Tyrrell Museum this summer.  They had a fabulous ankylosaur-type they had found up in the oil sands.  Although he was missing his hind legs he was otherwise perfectly preserved - skin and other tissue included.  And he had no feathers.

Right now I'd settle for Timmay catching a pigeon in the face.

A German nurse who is serving a life sentence already for attempted murder and two cases of murder is now suspect in at least 84 more cases and is likely the worst postwar serial killer here. They assume more cases but those victims were cremated so they can't prove it anymore. He apparently did it to resuscitate the patients and be seen as hero... except it often did not work out.

How about a NK Su-7?

I thought that was a Nodosaurus? Yeah my kids thought was amazing.

However, theropods were/are especially bird-like.

I couldn't remember it's name, but it looks like Nodosaurus is right (though it is also an ankylosaurian).  It was pretty cool to see in person.

If your kids love dinosaurs they should come up to Drumheller.  It's this smallish town about an hour outside of Calgary, but because it's in the middle of some of the best dinosaur bone grounds anywhere in the world there is this amazing world-class museum.

I think Law and Order: SVU used something like that in one of the earlier episodes.

Also, Cracker Barrel had Christmas stuff for sale.

One of the DHS' top 10 wanted criminals was recently arrested in Montreal... by police riding bicycles.
