Dental  implant for Chuck Norris?

I'm temped to give it to you just on this!

No, not for mountain climbing or for Chuck.


Hint:  It's just a small part of a large machine.

[Kiwingenuity]

Something like a maize header tine or similar agricultural piece of equipment?

[Watcher]

Nope, not tines for a maize header.

Not necessarily used in agriculture, but you are thinking along the correct lines.

[Badot]

I think I have some lego pieces that look like that 

[Watcher]

Something very similar to the equipment this goes on would be common at any barber shop.

[Kiwingenuity]

Something along the lines of a large sickle bar mower then?

We learnt to shoot at little birds like that they would only sit for a couple of seconds then fly a couple of feet in one direction. And they where so flighty you couldn't get close enough to get an easy shot. We used a single shot break barrel air rifle and there where 5 of us that learnt to shoot at these things and not one of us ever got one but after that rabbits where a walk in the park. 

The species is lucky feathered bastard.

[BockinBboy]

They are pretty cool, the long tail relative to the body is what makes them so agile in the air - great for catching insects... Once upon a time I wanted to be an exotic species veterinarian with a specialty in birds (that changed after 2 year in undergrad), but the fantail was an example used for divergence resulting from competitive food adaptations... with birds there a countless examples of this, so its funny that this one showed up here and happened to be the specific example I remembered from 7 years ago in the only class I would ever fall asleep in...

ANYWAYS!

Next one up should be fun, and not too hard...
