 So, my original idea was to take a strobe light shot of a cat falling and get nine cats in the picture (just to have a cat shot to irritate lutchenko :D) but it was just a regular old strobe light and it didn't work.

Someone pointed out, not only are there nine birds, but nine pilings and nine ropes on the pilings! Is that awesome or what!

ok, looks like ten ropes. well it was close!

At least your nine was obvious - and you had more than you thought! Not pigeons, but a close relative, so that's good. I do have to ask - ISO 800? :-)

Hilarious - I didn't even notice what the one in front was doing the first time around. Great timing!

Nice detail in the wood, what is that bird on the left doing? It just looks weird.
