My house has a hedge on one side of the front lawn that is always full of sparrows and the occasional chickadee or nuthatch. I say "hi birds" to them every time I come home from work. They don't all scatter as often as they used to.

Part of the reason I like this thread is because, if birds are so weird, how weird were the dinosaurs? Imagine a hadrosaur doing this with a big dried-up gourd

A strong raven presence is one of the few things I miss about the little mining town I lived in for a while. That and thunderstorms every three days like clockwork in the summer. We get crows here, and acres of magpies, but they're not the same. I've never heard a crow go "pKWEEduk".

Inceltown posted:Not gonna lie, magpies have the best bird call. Sorry that your opinion is wrong instead of this fact. I was looking at this post real concerned-like until I remembered, and following the video link confirmed, that you meant the Australian magpie The North American magpie, while a charming little bugger (and one who's never, ever swooped me), isn't winning any awards for the beauty of its song. Unless the judge is another magpie, I suppose. https://youtu.be/wCFt_fwHUnM

I want to have bird friends but my neighbors let their cat out and, while he is an absolute sweetheart to us, he slaughters mice and the occasional sparrow that gets caught outside the safety of our hedge And then in the back I keep a little vegetable garden and I don't want the crows to associate it with food

If it's not a lyrebird, but it keeps telling everybody it is, is it still kind of a lyrebird?

Halloween Jack posted:If birds have rules, I haven't observed any. I would like to know why both Arctic and Antarctic seabirds settled on stark black and white coloration. The stocky body is relatively obvious, greater volume per surface area means slower heat loss. But why do penguins look so much like alcids, to the point that the first bird called a "penguin" was the flightless, now-extinct great auk, and the Antarctic penguins are named after it?

Oh yeah I do understand countershading and why it occurs, it's more like, why is it so stark in the high latitude birds, so that two completely separate populations arrived at the same coloration?
