this is Thunk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwDjD8adVy8

Thunk has been visiting our house every day for the last 3 weeks. several times a day. at several different windows and doors.

many theories have been suggested for why he insists on slamming his face against our windows over and over and over.

the most recent theory is that Thunk is lonely. that he needs a friend. so lets see if we can find him a friend.

the first thing we need to determine what kind of bird he is and see if i can find him the right kind of friend

to this end, i took this still from the video.



*twists head and squints*

you know who he reminds me of?



yeah exactly.

ok. so now we know what we have to do.





ok good, but maybe not friendly enough



much better



mental note, buy more black ink for the printer

ok let's put this bad boy up and see what happens



perfect


everyone cross your fingers. i hope this works :ohdear:

this is a legitimate conversation that just happened in my house


*son walks into the house after school*

SON: why's that picture on the door?

DUCKIE: he's thunk's friend

SON: ...

*daughter hears this and comes into the room*

DAUGHTER: you know that thunk's just a bird right?

DUCKIE: yes, that's why his friend is a bird

SON and DAUGHTER: ...



i just heard my daughter on the phone with dad asking him when he was coming home :/

it seems pretty selfish that only people on the inside of the house can see the picture. i bet the poor bird now feels worse than ever

doug you realize that's a picture from the outside of the house right?

they make uv reflective decals you can put on your windows and birds can see them and know not to thunk them

BYOB avatars work in a pinch I guess, irl birds primarily post in gbs

there's a theory floating in the house that clunk thinks another bird lives here now and he's moved on to safer territory. i'll miss my little bud, but it's probably better this way

Bwee posted:

hahaha

hey bwee! thunk either really likes you or he's scared of you. whichever he's not smacking himself around so thanks for that!


Thank you for the beautiful sig Machai!

FluffieDuckie

so this happened a few hours ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn-s8csO3Mw


obviously thunk's trying to get up high enough to say hi to bwee. we lowered bwee after this so thunk can more easily approach him.

stay tuned for further updates


Thank you for the beautiful sig Machai!

FluffieDuckie

so what you're saying is that thunk didn't WANT a friend? :ohdear:
