#CROW NO

Crow: CROW YES!

[notcuddles]

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

[red3blog]

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.

Intelligence is rooted in how much of a dick you can knowingly be.

If you play “Helter Skelter” by The Beatles at exactly 11:55:45 on New Year’s Eve, you’ll hear Ringo screaming “I’VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS ” as the clock strikes midnight. Start off your new year the right way.

Red Golden Pheasants come from the mountains of Central China. Its name comes from the male’s beautiful red and gold plumage. The plumage and features differ greatly between the sexes. Females are rusty red with finely barred black feathers.

Relatedly, HOLY GOD, look at this. They made a marker showing exactly where they sat for the photo, so you can re-create it.

When people dig this shit up in 3,000 years, they are deadass going to believe we worshiped the Beatles as deities. And I’m not even sure they’ll be wrong.

Useless facts about The Beatles

Throughout their career, The Beatles spent more than four hundred weeks on the music charts.

Only 6% of The Beatles’s autographs in circulation are estimated to be real.

In the 60’s, Paul McCartney had three cats named Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Ringo Starr  can’t swimm, except for a brief doggie paddle.

In 1965, John Lennon’s dad, Alfred, made a record called “That’s my life”.

George Harrison was afraid to fly.

An American firm wrote to The Beatles asking if they could market the Beatles’s bathwater at a dollar a bottle. They refused the offer.

Paul McCartney was regulary the first Beatle dressed for performances.

At the end of “A day in the life”, an ultrasonic whistle, audible only to dogs, sounds.

My idea of flirting is making fun of each other until one of us fucks up and says something nice.

[verytiny]

no offense but wouldn’t it be nice if we were older then we wouldn’t have to wait so long and wouldn’t it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong

[multi-purpose-tool-guy]

It’s such a strange feeling when something comes into your life like a movie or an artist or a band that just feels like it’s made from the same stuff you are, it immediately becomes part of how you define yourself and it’s everything you see yourself as at that point in your life and everything that you aspire to be and it’s such a bizarre sensation when you discover something and you immediately feel it fill a hole inside you that you didn’t know was there
