Seagulls are my favorite trash birds.



I like watching them steal food from people at the beach.

Pelicans freak me out. Whenever I see one I remember those videos where a pelican swallows some smaller animal whole and you can see it squirming around in its mouth and throat. Its disgusting.

That reminds me, one bird I've heard about that I thought was cool is the cuckoo duck.

Everyone knows about the infamous cuckoo and their habit of laying eggs in other bird's nests, where the cuckoo hatchling then gets rid of all the other eggs. The cuckoo duck does something similar, laying an egg in another bird's nest. However unlike with the cuckoo, the original eggs aren't disturbed. The host bird incubates the duck egg but that's it. When the cuckoo duck hatches it only spends a few hours in the nest before leaving, fully independent despite being so young.

What a brave little bird.

This clickbait video popped up in my recommended videos the other day, here's a naked bird. I think it's a lovebird based on size and beak.

Its supposed to be cute but to me it looks really creepy. Wings without feathers are just gross little stump limbs.
