Note the bright plumage on the male, which helps it to attract a mate

This is what they look like when they're stealthing. (Bonus baby frogmouth.)


Can't remember what this is. Maybe a baby potoo? It's a good reaction.jpg birb anyhow.

Here's some hosed up pigeons I used for a powerpoint I did on On the Origin of Species.


Darwin posted:

The pouter has a much elongated body, wings, and legs; and its enormously developed crop, which it glories in inflating, may well excite astonishment and even laughter.


Darwin posted:

The barb is allied to the carrier, but, instead of a very long beak, has a very short and very broad one. wonderful development of the carunculated skin about the head ... accompanied by greatly elongated eyelids, very large external orifices to the nostrils, and a wide gape of the mouth


Darwin posted:

The turbit has a very short and conical beak, with a line of reversed feathers down the breast; and it has the habit of continually expanding slightly the upper part of the oesophagus.


No quotes for this one, it's just a regular fantailed pigeon.

Pouter pigeons are majestic to watch in motion:

makes you wonder what hosed up weird bird poo poo ancient therapods had going on. Brightly colored cartilage combs? Weirdly intricate vocal performances and dancing? Elaborate spreading feather displays? Giant inflating neck sacks?

They'd probably be as hosed up as cassowaries and peacocks and that one angry loving dinosaur-looking grey African bird whose name I can't remember and lyrebirds and parrots, combined with how hosed up a bunch of lizzards are. But probably not as hosed up as those pigeons, because those are ones we've specifically bred to be hosed up and weird and wouldn't survive very long in the wild. If we managed to breed dinos etc in captivity we'd absolutely be able to get them that hosed up though.

I 100% believe dinos etc had giant loving multicoloured crests and fleshy combs/wattles, frills and quills they can stick up to look big, inflatable air pouches/crops, sweet-rear end sexy feathers, and singing/dancing for courtship displays. It's my personal headcanon that raptors knew how to imitate speech. "*squeak* Who's a clever girl? *whistle*" I will believe this until we resurrect velociraptors and it's proven incorrect. (Also I will get a velociraptor pet, so tiny :kimchi:)

They also did this while chasing down puny human ancestors (shrews or whatever): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE8PTMSFMUg

The loudness does depend upon the species. My sis recently got a green cheeked conure and it is quiet as gently caress, which is apparently characteristic of those particular gaybirds.

These two are being exceptionally loud

When they are trying to watch something while also stealthing they open one eye (sometimes both, but usually just one) juuuuuuust a tiny bit and veryyyyyyyyyy slowly follow you with that eye as you move. They know their big goofy eyes will give them away and are very sneaky!

One thing I would do to my cockatiels sometimes was to take a cherry where there are two cherries with the top of their stems attached like in pac man and hang it on their neck because it makes them look like they have cherry tits and they freak out a little and start running all over hell to try to get away from the evil cherries. It's not that nice but kind of a hoot.
