40 Slightly Unhinged Birds That Ended Up On The “Birds With Threatening Auras” Online Page (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Around 96 million people in the US are bird enthusiasts. That’s more than 35% of the population that closely observes, feeds, and photographs these adorable feathered creatures and even maintains natural areas at their homes for their benefit.
To further grow this number and kindle our love for avians, today we’re looking at a Facebook group that shares anything and everything about them. Called “Birds With Threatening Auras,” it contains humorous and sometimes even intimidating moments of these beaked fellas. Scroll down to find hilarious memes where birbs took center stage, and don’t forget to upvote your favorite ones below.
While you're at it, make sure to check out a conversation with a bird nest expert from Malaysia, Miao Duo Koay, who kindly agreed to answer a few of our questions about birds.

Isn't it libel to accuse the baby Blue Heron of killing his parents?
Bird nest expert from Malaysia, Miao Duo Koay, tells Bored Panda, "I became interested in birds because each species has unique habits, skills, and behaviors.
Take swallows, for example. Although swiftlets and swallows are in the same category, they have very different lifestyles. Swiftlets cannot stand on their feet; they can only cling to walls. They have sharp eyes to catch tiny insects quickly during the day but have poor vision at night, so they must return home before dark. Because of this, they have developed a unique skill called the "echolocation system," which allows them to accurately find obstacles by emitting sounds."

In a sense, birds can be deemed dinosaurs since they evolved from them millions of years ago. Knowing this fact, their threatening and intimidating behavior doesn’t seem as out of the blue as it did before.
They originated from their ancestors in the theropod group, who were small, meat-eating creatures covered in feathers. After drastic environmental changes that wiped out most other species, birds survived due to their small size, adaptability, and ability to fly.

Now researchers are counting more than 11,000 bird species in the world. Currently, the avian that resembles dinosaurs the most is the Southern Cassowary. On average, it weighs about 167 lb, or 76 kg, and reaches 5.9 feet, or 1.8 m, in height.
The feathered creature can’t fly, but it has strong legs and interesting features that point to its evolutionary history. They’re also one of the most dangerous birds, as their four-inch-long, sharp talons can injure humans if they’re provoked into attack.

It’s not without reason that there are so many birds inhabiting our planet. After all, every creature on Earth has a purpose, and they are all interconnected. While we might not notice it, avians play various roles, making them very important for people and the environment. One of them is pest control—birds’ main source of food. Their yearly consumption of 400–500 million tons of insects has proven to have a significant impact on reducing the loss of crops and trees due to infestations.

Another crucial function they perform is spreading seeds. By eating various fruits, they disperse the seeds through their droppings. Because of this, they are able to restore ecosystems that have been destroyed and even carry plants across the sea to new lands. Not only that, but they are also great pollinators, helping us shape the greenery we have around us.

Furthermore, Koay tells us, "They also serve as indicators of environmental health; by observing changes in bird populations, we can understand changes in the ecosystem and potential environmental issues.
Additionally, birds contribute significantly to human culture, recreation, and scientific research. Different bird species have different roles; humans were inspired to invent airplanes by observing birds' habits. Of course, there are still many unique functions in nature that humans have not been able to replicate."

Load More Replies... Despite their contribution to our planet, in the last 500 years, avian extinction has been boosted due to human activity. The IUCN Red List has recorded that 159 species of birds are already gone, more than 600 are endangered, and 754 are in vulnerable situations. In 2023 alone, about 10 bird species were declared extinct, really showing the severity of this problem.

Harpo Wants People To Learn The Hard Way
Corella Fleabane 1 year ago
Not a shreddable anything or toy in sight, no company, Harpo has had it being a wild animal in a fing cage, he knows it’s cruelty why can’t the people around him pick up on it? Considering the conditions, prob a pet shop, so, oh yes, bec of money.
Luckily, Koay tells us that "people can take many everyday actions to reduce their environmental impact and help protect birds."
One way to do that is to avoid using chemicals in our yards, such as grass fertilizer and pesticides. If we kill insects, there won’t be anything for them to feed on. Not to mention the deaths caused by poisonous chemicals. Instead of polluting their environment, we should plant native greenery so they have shelter and nourishment widely available.
#22
"I Am The Night..."
According to Koay, other initiatives we can implement are:
- Keep homes and communities clean to avoid litter and plastic pollution, which can harm birds and other wildlife.
- Plant native plants to provide food and habitat for birds.
- Provide clean water and bird feeders, especially during winter and drought periods.
- Protect bird habitats such as wetlands, forests, and grasslands by avoiding development in these areas.
- Participate in local environmental activities such as tree planting, litter cleanups, and wildlife protection.

Gulls seem like a bird of prey rly But smart, they do that thing where they drop clams onto hard surfaces to crack open the shells Then they have to swoop down fast before another gull grabs the seafood lol
It's also important to support or donate to bird conservation communities. You can also share their sightings on platforms like eBird, which helps scientists monitor and protect them. Without this additional information, researchers lack the data to see where and when birds are thriving or declining.

3m. One of the greatest comebacks in history.... if things keep going the right way. California condors are a true species, and in fact the only in their genus. In 1987, the last wild Calif condor was captured for breeding. There were only a couple dozen Calif condors even including those in captivity. Today, there's several hundred in the wild. Several Andean condors were released in California to help formerly captive California condors learn how to be wild condors. (They were all female, to prevent Andean condors from simply taking over California condors' niche, and that worked in this case because condors aren't dinosaurs... oh, yeah, they are.) Long way to go, but looking good so far.

Max Fox 1 year ago (edited)
Unlike eagles and most other raptors, the claws of the California Condor are pretty weak - they look like oversize chicken feet, but without the spur that roosters have. Of course, they don't need serious talons to kill their prey, nor is their prey trying to escape. SO you can have one on your back without getting your back torn up. On the other hand, a Golden Eagle, which is far smaller, will sink its talons a half an inch into your shoulder without even noticing.
