THE BIRD THREAD - Post birds, discuss birds or even sniff birds.

I love white cardinals, I think they are so pretty. This happens in 1 in every 1800 birds (or at least cardinals, anyways). It's caused by leucism, which is a lack of pigment in the feathers.

Nice to see a bird thread, I would always take a picture of a bird whenever I see one.

We have many doves that come to our bird feeder, but this is a late season baby that can't quite seem to shake those down feathers. She's so ugly, and I love her the most.

Also her mother is hardcore molting and looks just as bad. But they've been leaving behind many feathers so their rent is paid in full.

Black-billed magpies, or, what you get if a mad scientist crossed crows and parrots. Playful, clever, endlessly curious, occasionally generous (they give gifts, like crows), and massive assholes to cats, other birds, and humans that annoy them. The angry clowns of the North American West's skies.

I love this bird so much. I would die for this bird.

The bee hummingbird. The smallest bird in the wild, and the smallest extant hummingbird species.

We have some peacocks that roam around at the zoo I volunteer at, and I like to take photos of them at times. This one is from Friday.

Bird thread is almost off the front page and I'm drunk. Therefore, it's time for a SCSI Bird Post (TM). Today I introduce you to the burrowing owl, the cutest goddamned owl in North America. It's a pocket-sized owl. If that wasn't cute enough, it lives in the ground, like a tiny feathered bunny -- almost literally, as they often appropriate abandoned bunny burrows. Holy shit. It also tends to just chase prey like a velociraptor instead of flying after it, because fuck you, it found a way to be even cuter. They also sound like a weird-ass cross between a hooting owl and a giggling quail. Now you know it exists. You're welcome.
