i really like when crows just insert themselves into a group of other birds and then act like there is absolutely nothing strange about it
This meme implies that crows are not REALLY birds, just something that seems to appear as a bird. I love it.
#CROW NO
Crow: CROW YES!
It’s actually impossible to measure how many fucks a corvid give because there is no device sensitive enough to register such a tiny amount.
science/animal side of tumblr… explain to me the birb thing
Tail Pulling is a behavior noted in many corvids. The practical application is to create a distraction that will allow the birb to make off with the target’s food. Imagine being in the lunch room and a large fellow has a Twinkie you covet. You can’t just take it from him because he’ll defend his Twinkie. But if you thwap him on the back of his neck and then dash around to snag the Twinkie while he investigates, you stand a decent chance of enjoying spongey goodness. This is basically that in birb form.
Except corvids don’t only do this as a distraction. Sometimes they seem to just being doing it to mess with other animals/birbs. But to use my lunch room analogy, there are times you might thwap someone sneakily on the back of the neck just for amusement. Primates exhibit behavior that appears to be just be annoying other animals for amusement. Given how intelligent crows are, its not unlikely that this is a manifestation of an innate desire to just fuck with someone else for the fun of it. Such as this from the link above:
THANK YOU FOR THE BIRB KNOWLEDGE
BECAUSE IT IS FUN
This speaks to me on a molecular level.
birbs just wanna have fun
Sorry to hijack a little, but to put it bluntly, corvids are also pretty BALSY. They are more than prepared to harass other huge birds of prey which could deal them a lot of damage. There’s plenty of cases of corvids ‘riding’ other birds as well. It’s often to harass the larger bird out of the area, but as @red3blog said, they quite often (in layman’s terms) enjoy fucking shit up for fun.
‘Where the hell is the seatbelt on this thing?’
I mean they deserve a medal for having such huge bird balls imo
Literally no fucks are given by corvids. Ever.
This. This bird right here is my inspiration.
It’s so beautiful! :’)
I legitimately thought at first that those were baked beans and not peanuts. Which was quite the way of interpreting this.

I’ve been ignoring chain mail for years and I haven’t been killed even a single time. what a ripoff
what armour r u wearing
wait
one of my biggest fears is that one day I will be standing in front of a microwave waiting for my hot pocket to heat up and my microwave will suddenly explode, impaling me instantly with shrapnel
apparently this is more relatable than I thought holy shit
modern brain: hehe warm food medieval brain: magic hot box will kill me if i dont kill it first
I opened the door and only Arthur came inside. It’s raining. I couldn’t find the other cat. She’s usually the first to come through the door, so I got slightly worried.
Until
That cat is the coziest it’s ever been and it’s not leaving except for food.
Rules for meeting a dog:
1) be cool
2) pet it
3) do not steal it
4) stop running from the owner
5) put it down
6) this isn’t worth jail time
“Hello,” she said in a voice so husky it could pull a dogsled.
you know what i really want? a modern dudebro vampire. just a typical obnoxious straight boy in a neon tank top and cargo shorts who also happens to be a creature of the night.
“okay, dude, i’m only feeding on you ‘cause i’m starving and there aren’t any hot girls around. no homo.” “wait, you’re gonna suck my blood?” “no, i’m gonna drink your blood. i don’t suck, that’s gay. don’t make this weird, bro”
“ah, i see you’re staring pensively out the window, chad. ruminating on the curse of your newfound immortality?” “nah man, it’s just… i got, like, some flecks of blood on my adidas while i was feeding and they haven’t come out…”
“we do not drink… wine.” “okay but is beer cool? and can we still smoke weed?”
he joins a 24-hour gym because being undead and allergic to sunlight is no excuse for skipping leg day. tragic music swells as he looks over his “sun’s out guns out” tanks (he has seven of them). his coven is a fraternity. someone make this happen

Naomi loves laying in boxes, but she was sad because this one was too tall for her to lay down AND see us at the same time
So we got creative, and I think she likes the solution
Good news everyone!!

So sorry for your loss!
this is the best one
I’m not sorry.
I love all of these can we start using them?
Me: in conclusion, get rid of roads, undomesticate all horses, and reintroduce chimpanzees to the American Midwest.
Guy interviewing me for a position with the US Fish and Wildlife Service: Could you……………..elaborate on that?
Me: How could I possibly be any clearer
Him: first if all you just walked in and started your sentence with “in conclusion,”
So many people are desperately googling whether chimpanzees are native to the us midwest right now
Today I found out if you have a degree in wildlife management you can say something absolutely against any history or facts and people will just be Extremely Worried you know something really big that they somehow missed
All of them
My favorite part isn’t the chimpanzees, but the undomesticating horses, because 1) horses are not native to the Americas 2) undomesticating horses will end in many many dead horses because we’ve spent 6000 years breeding them to be excellent at being domesticated and sometimes making them terrible at being horses As an example, I submit my Arabian gelding, who is 75% straight egyptian and dumb as a sack of rocks. Left to his own devices, he will get killed by another horse by failing to read their body language for the 7000th time, and if he manages to live through that, he will absolutely eat something he can’t and/or be killed by a predator.
No it’s okay we will be giving the horses crossbows.
me: *is bitter but is also right*
