Sideburn gives you wings: UPDATE

I spotted this outside Urban Outfitters, Leeds on Boxing Day. I got some funny looks when I stopped to take a photo of it. G

UPDATE: Just got this from Chris in the South of France 'I found this a couple months back.... it's spreading!'

    G, that is one of the more unhinged and macabre offering on the blog ever, I applause. To think you call me a pervert! Great name for a gloomy gothic pub, 'The Bodiless Bird'.

    No doubt the work of a falcon. Always root for the falcon!

    Peregrine Falcon? You haven't been to Leeds citty centre recently, I take it. It's more likely it had a heart attack after eating too many dropped pizza slices and koner kebabs and the rats finished it off.
    If anyone has spotted a Peregrine in Leeds since the discovery of electricity I'll eat a raw pigeon.
    Nevertheless, I like a bit of twitchery on the Sideburn blog, so keep it up. Thanks

    PS I actually thought it was the result of a defrocked angel.

    Alright, I confess, hungry as hell, I always enjoy small game birds and lately I've developed an a la naturale Sashimi fetish . . . I knew I should've put the remnants in bins, the jig is up. I'm now in Russia and feasting on old KGB agents. Steven Piranha, no relation.

    I reckon most things that hang out outside urban outfitters would be chuffed to have their photo taken and get put on a blog.
