Nobody likes an HOA–except, of course, the overinflated, pompous, self-elected members. So when independent homeowners finally claw themselves out of an HOA dictatorship of a neighborhood, the quasiHOA vibes of an unruly neighborhood Karen can certainly rub them the wrong way.

Crows are some of the smartest birds out there, and they're teaming up to get what they want from this suburban neighborhood. As humans build more and more houses for ourselves, we're slowly eliminating the places where wildlife can live . Each new housing development kicks out the deer, raccoons, squirrels, and birds that are native to the area (and possibly even bears or moose, depending on where you live). This means that more and more, humans are interacting with wildlife up close and perso…

This person's just moved in, and their neighbors are already irritated with them… That's never a good sign! When you first move into a new building, chances are you'll meet your neighbors at some point. And even if you don't meet them, you'll definitely hear them. In many apartments, the walls are thin enough to allow in sounds and smells. So you might not know your neighbor by name, but you know that he and his kids eat a roast for dinner, since you can smell it cooking and hear the dishes cli…

Each year, millions of cats and dogs get adopted out, and someone at the shelters will have to name them. According to Forbes, the number of pups who got their fur-ever home in the US last year was 1.5 million. That's just counting dogs—but shelters also house plenty of cats, and about 978,000 of the little scoundrels were adopted last year. Now, there aren't millions of pigs, lizards, rabbits, or birds sitting in the shelters, but a few of them always come through these shelters' doors, too! A…

These pets have been on their baddest behavior, and they have no regrets about it! Some pets are just blatantly naughty, and they don't care who knows it. Lots of cats are this way: they'll solemnly knock glasses to the floor, zoom around your home knocking furniture over, or leave unsavory “gifts” for their owners to find.

Poor Isadora deserved better!

Reddit's r/ PicsOfUnusualBirds subreddit has been the site's Top Growing community today. The subreddit hosts a menagerie of photos of some highly unusual feathered friends, and they range from absolutely amazing to Orwellian-Horror levels of terrifying. The subreddit has been exploding in popularity as users flock to the subreddit to stare in awe at these fowl photos. The Shoebill Stork is one such bird that I wouldn't want to meet down a dark alleyway. The bird has been a popular topic of dis…

They didn't even know rules exist.

What amazing animals!

If only this bird knew that it's chosen distress signal sounds like an incoming call. Too bad it doesn't get that this sound is basically code for “I hope I get to ignore this.” Sure, it's incredible, but if this bird had heard some of the ringtones that were kicking around in the early 2000s, it would be singing 20 low quality seconds of Welcome to the Jungle for the low low price of twenty dollars.

Seriously, give the poor birds a chance.

So silly.

Pretty impressive stuff.

That's like, a whole pound of hummingbirds.

Buddy took that camera for a field trip.
