    SNAKES:- They make sleeping on logs look comfortable.

    can you get a picture of the beak front on and from the top?
    It kind of looks like a pidgeon to me, but im imagining it should be some type of water bird

    Definetly a baby pigeon. Whether it's a rock dove (feral) pigeon, spotted turtle dove or a crested pigeon I do not know.

    I'd go for spotted turtle dove.

    Man, how can you tell what it is? It looks like a dodo bird from Ice Age to me!

    Thanks guys. cant get any more pics. It was at night and tossed it after taking two photos.There is this one as well.

    Would this bird have fallen and been taken, or do they nest on the ground?
