birds

There are very few beings that are capable of being as relaxed as these melty animals right here. The flaps and wobbly folds of these dogs, birds, and rodents are a marvel to behold; a splendorous foil to the stiff and rigid. These animals are basically puddles, man. For more surprisingly relaxed animals, here are sleepy dogs in goofy positions.

No joke, seeing this out in the wild would give most anyone the fear. Turns out that "full orb" pose is genuinely as menacing as it appears. 

Just when we thought we'd seen it all, we come across a subreddit dedicated to photoshopped pictures of birds with arms. It's way too good. Also, imagine a world where we saw birds out and about, with absolutely shredded arms? Now that would be a trip. 

We love a good educational Twitter thread, and this one does a wonderful job at shining light on all the things that make ravens so dang cool. Pretty sure ravens might be the coolest bird of them all. Just saying. 

Yay, a fun and educational Tumblr thread that highlights the fact that "fully orbed" owls are not to be messed with. In fact, a fully orbed owl is basically squared up, and ready to drop "hands." 

For all the Americans, metric conversion can be a challenge. Honestly its better when it happens at times like this rather than something like miscalibrated airplane parts. Still, sacks on sacks of 12.5 Kilos of bird seed is a whole lot of bird seed. We all make mistakes. Here are some of people's dumbest purchases.

Birds don't know or care what they build their nests in or on. It could be a rib cage in a tree, a traffic cone, or even a wreath on a front door. Are these birds rebels or are they just dumb? Let's call it a mix of both. For more organisms that don't seem to care about their surroundings, here are trees that appear to be eating stuff.

Those crows are smart and tricky, man. This dude tells a quick yet hilarious little story about his experience with buying a crow a taco. Crows are something else. 

Nothing fills our hearts with joy and appreciation like a couple Tumblr users swapping knowledge about the history of soda and carrier pigeons in a totally random Tumblr thread. But hey, that's what Tumblr is all about. Can't say that we knew that drinking Pepsi cold and Coke warm would result in them tasting the same. Is that real life? 

This is just the kind of AskReddit thread that escapes reason, logic, etc, and that's why we love it. We've got plenty of ominous news headlines and intellectually engaging material at our fingertips. Sometimes, we just need to pump the mental brakes and wander down a ridiculous rabbit's hole. Like this right here: people imagining what they'd do if they suddenly turned into ducks. Might go to Subway to get that bread, or start a duel with a nearby goose. Who knows. 

This just shot right to the top for our new favorite subreddit. A place dedicated to paying homage to the divorced birds out there. The captions are really what seal the deal with these comedy gems. Will probably never look at birds the same after seeing these.
