Scissor-tailed flycatcher

The long tail looks like a "v" or scissors when flying.

The scissor-tailed flycatcher is the state bird of Oklahoma really a spectacular bird to watch. Most of the time photographers hate to take pictures of birds on unnatural perches such as wires but honestly, 8 out of 10 times you will see the scissor-tailed flycatcher on a barb wire fence catching flying insects and returning to its perch on the wire. So, the question is: Is it really an unnatural perch?
