Birds

OK, I will admit that I have a thing for birds. Of the avian variety. So, I might as well make a topic in OTC so I can talk about them with other avian lovers and not have to worry about it wandering off into another dimension.

Also, I would like to apologize to Kazooie for finding her kind of attractive.

Birdy!◊

ADDED: If anyone mentions that "Bird is the Word" song I will personally KILL them!

I have preference for fowls, especially chickens.

Chickens have always had a funny effect on people. I think there was a recent study on it.

Birds can be fascinating here's some videos.

Fascinating, although for that last video...

I've started really liking birds. Including common ones like pidgeons. I see them while I'm walking to class and I just want to stop walking and watch them do their bird thing.

Are you talking about that little hop/walk thing they do? I always found that to be rather interesting.

Well, that among other things. I just like watching all their actions, really.

My favorite animal is the whooping crane. I'm a general bird fan though. I'm collecting bird plushies, prefarbly audiban.

I like crows.

I <3 chickens!

They look like mini raptors when they tear through the undergrowth, they make gentle funny noises, you can kinda train them sorta and when they are tame and you stroke their wattles they get really relaxed and adorable.

Also eggs and shit fertiliser.

Also, they fry up real nice.

Corvids of all descriptions. I love their intellegence, their gregariousness, their place in literature, even the harsh croaking of their cries.

Yeah but only if they are free range.

Feh, that usually only means they open the cage door for a couple of days before slaughtering them, and when they do it for real you just wind up with less succulent birdflesh. I bet you don't eat foie gras, either.

We actually have a number of wild chickens near my dad's old townhouse.

Birds are nice, except when they peck.

I like barn owls a lot.

@Wanderhome

Do you live in the US?
If so your legal free range is a lot shittier than the UK/EU's one.

After eating free range, I'd say that it isn't in any way less succulent and has a better flavour.
Also no I don't eat foie gras either.

A bird flew into my house this morning. I was able to catch it in a glass and release it. Don't ask me what kind it was: all I know it that it was brown, roundish, and small enough to fit in a drinking glass.

It might have been a hummingbird. If it was I'm pretty impressed since they happen to be very fast.

A house sparrow?

Could've been that too.

@Sand Josieph

So that's why I love watching them. Anyway, I had watched them so much now I could be an expert on their behaviours.

Yessss, birdies are niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
