Not sure why they're doing it this way. We all know that just a pile of seed on a plate in the middle of the road is the best way to attract them.

Just got finished watching Planet Earth 2 last night, and all 6 episodes have some really cool stuff about birds. Episode 6 in particular looks at Peregrine falcons in New York City, and starlings in Rome. It's some really beautiful stuff, and I recommend anybody who likes birds watch it. Very few birds are caught by other predators in this one.

I saw some plovers near my work about a week ago, and I was very excited to see them. I tried to take a picture, but the window was a bit too dirty to get a clean shot, and they ran away once I opened the door. I was very upset, but still felt very good to have seen a family of baby plovers and what I guess was their mother up close.

Another company makes birb hoodies. The little one looks like he's gonna offer to sell me some weed. He just looks shiftier.


These little guys look like they're about to ask me to come outside and play a game of wall ball, and the little one's going to take it way too seriously.

Are all of the pictures you post pictures taken by your roommate? They're all very good, please let them know that I appreciate their work and am glad that you have shared it with us.

What ever happened to that person who was going to post pictures of their chickens? It's been, like, a month and still no dang chickens.

Also, the only chicken (rooster, more correctly) I encountered in real life jumped on my head and dug it's talons into me on at least 2 different occasions. Yes, the same rooster both times.

This rating system is bullshit. Oh, yeah, this bird right here is great. 5 stars, for sure. But there are 2 just out of sight that we don't have that could potentially be better. So on those grounds, we are deducting points. Absolute clown time here in the bird thread.

I know it's a silly little contest, but the kakapo has only just recently gone from being functionally extinct to just being critically endangered. So maybe let it have a little more time in the spotlight.

You know what, that was stupid of me. I should've considered that there are many more critically endangered birds on NZ. Very dumb. I just like the kakapo, but I guess I wouldn't have known about it if not for that :parrot: video. So fair on them.
