Stroke the raven evermore

Suddenly there came a beaking
Then a sound, a sound like creaking
The creaking of a wooden door
"A contented raven, nothing more"

There's a dirt path on the way to the gym and every day there's at least one blackbird lying in the grass with its feathers ruffled looking absolutely ghastly. They'll fly away when I get close to see if they're okay, so I'm assuming they're just sunbathing.

Wouldn't doubt it, sounds kinda like the bird equivalent of when squirrels get hot & go spread eagle, I used to see that all the time in the summer at my old apartment

Trying to decide if the parrot is reading the necronomicon, which is believable, or if it was summoned FROM the necronomicon, which is also believable.

It’s funny until you realize that bird has already been hit and has a head injury.

I like to put a less tragic spin on it...maybe it got into some fermented fruit & got a little drunk? I've seen it happen to squirrels, it's funny watching them try to climb when they can't tell which way is up :lol:

I remember a friend who was living in south Korea for a while talking about her roommate who insisted on buying expensive imported certified organic food, when the local farmers sold their produce cheaper, needed the support, and most couldn't even afford pesticides anyway, they all used duck gangs.

My reaction was basically, holy poo poo back up please tell me that "duck gang" is literal. It was. I was delighted.

Reminds me of when I was little & my grandparents had a neighbor with a chicken coop. Whenever he had new baby chicks, we'd take them out to the field behind his house like a little army & help them hunt bugs :3:

There's specific evolutionary reasons that Australian birds evolved particularly crazy calls
Magpies warbling is one of my favourite sounds.

I think you're confusing them with the Ayam Cemani chickens

It's the only chicken that has full black pigmentation inside & out - bones, feathers, skin, organs, etc.

I’m still trying to figure out what song that clip is reminding me of, but that is pretty close I think.

Wonder if it was, like, a Missy Elliott song or something.

I guess "Get Ur Freak On" could work since it's a mating dance

Hey birb people, this amazing birb landed on my cat's ramp to the roof today and had a good look at me, does anyone know what it is? Google usually helps me identify all the wonderful Sparrows, Wrens, Nuthatchs, Hummers, Tits, Finches, Barred Owls, Eagles, Falcons etc that stop to say hi and grab a bite to eat on their way North/South every year, but it's failing me on this lovely boy, closest I could find was a bullocks Oriole, Orange color and correct range (PNW) but doesn't seem to have those striking orange streaks on the wings.

Oh wow what a lovely bird. This is the white morph of the grey goshawk (Accipiter novaehollandiae) commonly found in Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_goshawk

I love how the eyes & beak/feet stand out against the white, super cool looking


Also dang these magpies sound neat, their calls are almost robotic & weirdly unnatural but so pretty
