can we just start calling birds avian dinosaurs, i feel like more people would be into birds e: another favorite of mine is the common nighthawk. they have really excellent camouflage (as do all nightjars) and are also super agile fliers with very graceful wings. sometimes at night youll see these guys swooping around streetlights catching bugs on the wing in their huge maw   ddue to their behavior these guys are also colloquially known as bullbats which is a pretty sweet name, as if 'nighthawk' wasnt cool enough free hubcaps fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Jan 27, 2020 |

yea that's super awesome. I'm guessing it serves to attract birds for pollination? seems like it wouldn't be super effective unless it mimicked a particular species

Mumpy Puffinz posted:they are so weird and I love it they don't have feather on their head because they eat carrion bearded vultures have feathers on their head, and are probably the coolest looking vulture. Also they eat bones!  also, interesting vulture factoid: old world vultures and new world vultures are not closely related, i.e. turkey vultures are more closely related to hawks than they are to european/african vultures, despite their appearance. Theyre one of the best examples of convergent evolution in nature!

EoinCannon posted:I loved these birds when I was a kid, I always knew them as the "lammergeier" though which I thought was an awesome name. They drop bones onto rocks to eat the delicious goo inside Yea lammergeier is their German common name but also pretty widely used in English. Their archaic, latin name which they were known by in ancient times was Ossifrage which literally translates to "Bone Breaker"

Tree Bucket posted:STOP MAKING FAKE BIRD NAMES LOL Here in the US Merlins used to be commonly known as Pigeon Hawks, not because they hunt pigeons, but because they vaguely resemble them in flight Also our robins are actually thrushes and colonists just named them that because of their red breasts Great jobs all around

Akratic Method posted:Just a phone picture, but here is a turkey vulture that I accidentally stumbled upon while clambering over some rocks today. This is actually a black vulture! Depending on where you are in the states they may be pretty recent migrants to your area; here in the northeast they've only started showing up in numbers in the last 10 or 20 years, expanding their range from the south. We actually had no native vultures up here until the 1950s when turkey vultures started expanding north along the newly built interstate system, which was basically like a little bread crumb trail of carrion for a bird like the turkey vulture. Unlike turkey vultures black vultures don't have a great sense of smell, but they do have good eyesight so they follow their bigger cousins to carrion. free hubcaps fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Apr 17, 2023 |
