#what is it about birds of prey#that makes them look supremely badass in profile#yet deeply nervous head-on?

I have no clue what you could possibly mean...

I love birdwatchers they’re like “I just saw my ALL TIME FAVORITE BIRD SPECIES! I’ve always dreamed of seeing one in the wild! I am ECSTATIC!” and it’s the most boring looking little brown bird you’ve ever seen.

And I’m watching the video like “whoaaaa what’s it going to be! woodpecker? red-headed woodpecker? eastern whip-poor-will? northern mockingbird? it’s a Bachman's sparrow? oh, okay. neat.”

[byjove]

I feel like I need to show you a Bachman’s sparrow for this post to truly land.

Oooooh the most bird ever.

[graphi-horse-time]

omg this is so me my favourite bird is the short-toed treecreeper and.

like. yea...

[byjove]

I’m sorry to admit this and I would never do it in real life because I have an immense respect for wildlife and specifically the delicate nature of birds. That is the most grabbable animal I have ever seen. It looks free for the taking.

[ryuuka-balaen]

some birds are just free for the grabbing and taking.

i found this one in a coal mine.

(I caught her so I could take her outside because she was trapped)

[ryuuka-balaen]

im cool with sharing that because i was far away from home on a work trip; i snatched this lil lady inside Quintette Coal Mine near Tumblr Ridge, British Columbia, Canada

also id like to be very clear that both the grabbing and the holding were extremely gentle; the bird was exhausted from being trapped inside the building for 2 days and did not attempt to escape being picked up, and i couldn't feel the contact through my glove. once i got her outside she flew away immediately and joined the rest of the same birds that constantly flew in flocks around the building

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
