Oh man, these are hilarious.

Can't help but wonder- why 'stink eye' vs 'evil eye'??? Is it some area-based phrase??

You guys have amazing stink eye pics. XD

She seems to always have the stink eye, but she is really a nice old girl, very sweet. Although I suspect she has had some really cold days/nights at her previous home. Is that why her comb and wattle are blackened?

I've got to wonder if this bird can give you anything BUT stink eye with that face? Can they look sweet or gentle?

Appropriatley named bossy butt, setting on her first clutch of eggs. She looks as if to say " These are my eggs, stay far, far away if ya know whats good for you "
