the bird in hand / bird in bush exchange rate has been fluctuating wildly in recent months. some chalk this up to brexit anxiety, others to the well-known "handbirb" trend in social media. for myself I'm not sure, but I'm laying in a good supply while price trends are favorable! gonna flip me some birds, maybe work my way up to an elephant.

I don't usually post in BYOB (I have no chill) but I have come to deliver this very important bird fact. The Emu's egg is the largest bird egg in the world, but it is also the smallest in proportion to the bird that lays it. Goodbye forever.

The key to drawing birds is to remember that they're basically badass dinosaurs but with a beak and feathers.

Some birds, cormorants for example, are like plane-car-submarines. Humanity has only managed to make plane-cars and submarine-cars, never plane-car-submarines.

Edit: birds haven't managed space travel though, the chumps.

in a budgetary audit, it was revealed that scientists as the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's fusion energy research lab spent $30 million dollars to come up with what they said was the funniest one-panel comic ever.

it's a panel of a pigeon in a fedora, with a big "PRESS" card sticking out of the band. the pigeon has one of those big old cameras with the giant flashbulb hanging around its neck. to its left is some police tape and a chalk outline in a vague bird shape, with its wings splayed out.

the comic, inexplicably, has the simple descriptory caption of "Bird Lawyer".

The best birds are crows because they show up everywhere there's people, give no fucks, and chase hawks around. If you walk somewhere crows are chilling, the whole flock will know about you before you even see them. They basically own the sky tbh.

Judging by how big of jerks the humming birds around here are to each other, me, and everything else, this checks out.

Their grudge seems to be based on "something else that is alive is outside".

1. all birds are female. some birds have a surgery to change this for the purpose of procreation. they are revered as heroes among other birds and often are rewarded with plaques for their nests.

2. birds are naturally good at football, yet cannot play due to their brittle bones. legends do tell of a special football bird, however...

3. there is a 5% chance that stork baby will actually spawn as a human baby.

Very "byob" birds #1: The Greater Prairie Chicken

The Greater Prairie Chicken lives in the northern US:



(Like a lot of North American birds, it has gone through a drastic population and range reduction since European settlement.)

The male looks like this:



The female looks like this:



The big air sac around the male's neck allows it to make the characteristic "booming" call that it uses to attract mates:

one of my first experiences with parrots in the wild was meeting some king parrots at a campsite on the great ocean road in southern australia.

I was like, "hey these are cool birds, let me see if I can get closer to take a photo." because I'm used to north american birds, which mostly just fly away as soon as you get too close.

I should have been warned by the way one of the birds was looking at me as I approached, which could probably be translated as "U WOT M8?"



however, I was utterly unprepared for what happened next - basically the bird flying straight at my head:



I'm pretty sure it was just trying to chase me off from its territory (and possibly mate), but I don't doubt it would have tried to gently caress me up if I hadn't taken the hint
