I say we count bats as honorary birds. They found a way to fly and they have hearts with a closed circulatory systems.

This is not a birb pic, and technically only about a mascot, but I love this story about Cyril the Swan.

Edit: was that a duck with feet on its wings and legs? Is that an an ancestor of Donald Duck?

Fun facts about swans: they mate for life, and they can be gay

In an animal behaviour class I took, at one point we discussed a chickadee nest where the chicks were DNA tested, and while all of the babies from that nest belonged to at least one parent, none of them belonged to both the birds raising them.

An extreme situation, but a reality. Also I find the image of dad's side chick(adee) laying in an egg in his nest and then loving off kind of hilarious.

Also chickadees, but there was an experiment where researchers interrupted a male’s song with a recording of another male’s songs, and those males mates cheated on them.

Months later, Mo is a broken bird. No longer does he steal fish. Now his crimes are loitering and sloth:

They really dropped the ball by putting it to that music instead of "Surfin' Bird".



Or perhaps "Tequila". That popped into my head on the second watch.
