Los Angeles Residents: Can anyone identify what the heck these birds are, hanging from power lines all over Hollywood and the West Side?
Is it a locked lock? I'm curious as to how they got it on there to begin with.

If you look at the high-res shot, it does appear that the lock is locked, although it's hard to tell.

I am almost positive that there is one on Oak Street at about Divisadero in San Francisco. I have been wondering about it myself.

This has some info, whether it's correct is another question.

Dunno what they are, but as to how they got it on there? My guess is:
- Climb the power pole
- Lock bird onto wire
- Fling lock down the wire to get it out into the middle

Oh I LOVE these. I've been seeing them everywhere for the past month or so. I hope they never fall down.
