I'M FEELING JIMMY
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.

Dude, ix-nay on the oice-vay.

LOL. I started watching this, noticed it was an hour long, so I was going to add it to "watch later". I accidently sent it to my roommate's Roku. I hope she was in the middle of watching 50 shades for the 500th time when she got a surprise chicken documentary. Which reminds me, I haven't had her Alexa and her phone offers for weird poo poo lately.

Here. Have a hummingbird pool party, since I can't find the specific hummingbird fountain video that I was looking for (he attacks the water with his feets.)

Does this bird actually look aggressive? I think it looks like it just wants to play, but I am not as knowledgeable about birds expressions as I am with cats.

Looks like play to me, cockatoos usually puff up and jut out their wings when they're actually angry at something. They also generally yell/scream. Like this one who seems to be upset by the camera:

Or this one who is upset because he heard someone gagging:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc5-M5wbzug

He also hates going to the vet:

Could be both. It looks like the bird is playing but birds can learn that biting gets a fun reaction from the human (screaming is fun for birds). So he might be interested in playing by biting the crud out of her toes. Thats something he could be trained out of if the owner cared enough.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I like her dinosaur scream in the first video.

Max's dinosaur scream is also very funny.

I read somewhere that Aztec warriors made cloaks out of hummingbird feathers because hummingbirds are so fierce.

The hummingbirds I've seen are usually trying to figure out how to beat the wasps to the feeders without being stung. They also buzz a few feet away from me and give me dirty looks for being too close to the feeders.

I really wish they'd stop putting "cute" music over videos where there is already sound. For the first few seconds, I thought the bird's banana's sounds were party of a lovely mix.
