I need more submissions in the “today’s bird is _____” format! Sadly, I’m on a work trip this week that’s taking my time away from…professional endeavors like Tumblr, but I want to keep things active (if pretty low effort). I could use your bird photos! (Please submit only your own photos, and no AI! never! Under any circumstances!)

This Jackdaw has a nest on the other side of the house. They like checking in on me every now and then.

Awwww! so inquisitive, I love it :)

What eldritch horror is this? If you thought it was a bird with legs growing from its chest, look again! Male Bronze-winged Jacanas (Metopidius indicus) are responsible for raising their chicks, and they have a unique defensive strategy to keep their chicks safe. When threatened, a father can scoop up his offspring and carry them under his wings! Found in parts of Southeast Asia, this species uses its large feet to wade in the shallows, feeding on plant material, insects, and invertebrates floating on the surface.
