Until it's 6am and your running along in the early dawn light and one flies by a metre from your head and then all of a sudden it feels like you're about to get bombed in the hyperwar. They're BIG.

Winklebottom posted:from a few days back, but note that the australian magpie belongs to a different bird family (Artamidae) than the eurasian/american magpies (Corvidae). Australian magpies were named for their likeness to the magpies back in europe. Also as a neat coincidence they seem to be smart even though they're not corvids

Kenning posted:It helps that they have like a 4 foot wingspan and weigh less than 10 lbs. I think the one OP posted is a Dalmatian pelican, which wikipedia says has a wingspan of 9-10.5 feet. The American white pelican gets up to 9.5 feet, and the brown pelican is somehow the smallest pelican at "only" 7.5. They're all loving monsters and have no business soaring as beautifully as they do. I'm lucky enough to have browns year-round and American whites seasonally where I live. I want to move within the next five years, and I have often thought that they are the thing about Florida that I will miss the most.

Wow, apparently I mentally rounded down their wingspan by that much because I subconsciously still couldn't believe how big their wings are.

I like how pelicans will try to eat anything, regardless of size. Depending on the size of the target this is either a hilarious nuisance of an existential threat. https://youtu.be/XZpfR9PphaY https://youtu.be/-hQFLM8lew4 https://youtu.be/GmPZUCd89p8

I love coots. I used to see them in Yellowstone in the summer and I was delighted to find that they are also down here in Georgia in the wild rice marshes.

 A red-rumped parrot from the park near my house. Also known as the grass parrot, cos it feels kind of embarrassing to comment on bird rumps.

It should be obvious by now but apparently the people who name birds are just plain bent.
