There was a recent r/relationships thread post about a couple who bought a gosling to raise for meat but the boyfriend bonded with it. This kind of thing happens all the time, the Pinchy episode of The Simpsons is 100% truth.

Peacocks are sometimes kept as pets in goddamn Australia, one roadhouse on the drive up to Uluru has some just roaming around.

pointsofdata posted:Lots of birds are incredible thieves, even within their own species. Gulls constantly steal things they've found in the surf off each other I once threw a slice of bread to a flock of seagulls and it turned into a cartoon chase scene with one gull flying with the slide of bread in its beak followed by the entire flock slow-motion chasing it.

It shouldn't be a big surprise that lyrebirds are Australian. They put the 'tails' on the 10 cent coin.

There's a porg joke in there, because porgs were digitally edited over the puffins that they weren't allowed to disturb on the filming site, so they decided to incorporate them into the movie.

Reminds me of videos of Australian birds getting fed seed and a kookaburra shows up just to bully the other birds. Kookaburras are carnivores.

Coxswain Balls posted:lol I got to the video and it's like a 2 out of 10 on the angry goose scale. Every time she moves the blanket goose is all "please let me pass by". It's not even a Canada variant which automatically starts at 4 most of the time. That makes it so much funnier. Of course, geese aren't the only ones who become panicky and hostile when what they perceive as their space is invaded.

Cythereal posted:That's hunting behavior. Scientists think that the woodcocks' irregular movement and bouncing around is supposed to make worms and other underground bugs think it's raining and thus safe to come to the surface where the bird grabs them. In other words, they walk with rhythm to attract the worm.

Teenage birbs all seem to look just like the adults except slightly scruffier, and constantly helplessly screaming for food which they apparently have the appetite of a forest fire for. ...okay, not much different.

SubponticatePoster posted:Yeah we had balconies at our old office and pigeons would build a nest consisting of like 2 twigs. I think urban pigeons are only able to sustain populations by volume, since 95% of the efforts we saw ended in failure. This is absolutely how a lot of birds work, yes.
