Birds are so much smarter than we give them credit for. I never knew why bird brain was an insult as my bird has discovered how to manipulate me so I give it more attention and treats. Also, stormaggedon is the perfect name for a bird.

This is a cute story, and I love how this person loves their bird, but I'm going to say something that will likely bring some heat my way. I don't believe birds should be in enclosed cages. They have *wings*. They are meant to fly. I cannot imagine having the ability to fly, but living my life in a cage.

Birds need to be contained when unsupervised or they will huurt, possibly unalive themselves chewing on power cords and such. A good pet parent keeps them out as much as possible, giving them lots of enrichments and attention.

I have heard that some of the more recent research on certain bird species (such as corvids and parrots) may actually have the "equivalent" intelligence and understanding of a toddler. So, it makes sense! XD

Bored Panda got in touch with Tracy Johnson from Hummingbirdsxoxo and she was kind enough to share her thoughts on our avian friends. First of all, we wanted to hear more about her relationship with birds in general.
“I don’t think I would actually call myself a bird behavior specialist so much as a bird behavior, observationist, which is honestly not even a real word. I think the best way to become a so-called expert at anything is to put the hours into observation. I have always been fascinated with hummingbirds. My grandmother had a hummingbird feeder in Minnesota where I grew up,” she shared.

A lot of times they don't MEAN to bite. This is especially if you hold food out to them. They don't know where the food ends and your hand begins so they snatch at it and most often get you was well. They are not trying to bite you. For this reason never let children hand feed swans and geese and best to wear gloves when you feed them to avoid being accidently 'bitten'

“There is something magical about these tiny birds that remind me of the fairies that I loved as a child. The most incredible things to me are the size and speed of them. They’re basically flying rainbow fairies. What’s not to love? My fascination with the birds started out as purely visual. I started to make photographs of them and that’s when I realized all of the subtle intricacies of the birds.”

A neighbour’s cat used to stalk pigeons, he did this all the time and never got with 6 ft so I wasn’t worried. The last time I saw it happen, he was flattened against the ground trying to sneak up when a herring landed about 6 inches in front of him; I’ve never seen him move so fast!

Is that an Anna's hummingbird? (I'm not at all familiar with the different species of hummingbirds.)
“Like snowflakes and humans, every single hummingbird is unique in its appearance, and in its behavior. With time, I started to be able to tell the difference between each bird to the point where I was able to name them and recognize them when they arrived at the feeders. There was Apollo a male Anna hummingbird with one wayward polkadot feather on his cheek. And Morgan, a male Rufous hummingbird with bright orange feathers and a terrible attitude worthy of a spot on Santa’s Naughty list. And Valentino, a male Calliope Hummingbird with a sweet disposition and a desire to just live and let live.” It's a quite well-documented fact that birds manage to give all sorts of vibes, based on their unique personalities.

Our cat used to rodeo style riding on passing dogs. She’d crouch on a wall, hidden by the hedge and drop on them when they walked past and cling on while they tried to throw her off. After a while they’d cross the road to avoid her. The interesting thing was that she wasn’t bothered if someone brought a dog into the house (though some dogs were reluctant!) She’d spent her first 8 years as indoor cat in an upstairs flat too

One possible negative side effect of all of these memes floating around is that people sort of forget what unique creatures birds are, so we wanted to hear what things many people get wrong about them. “I think the most common misconception about birds, and actually any creature aside from a human: is that they don’t have personalities. And that’s completely untrue. I have met some of the sweetest hummingbirds, the ones who are careful with each other. I have also met some psychopath hummingbirds.”

I'd pay extra for this, because it's so funny, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks it's a fun extra.

Nobody thatever smelled a penguin would think anyone would keep them at home. 100% shopped.
“Including Morgan who I mentioned earlier, who at one point flew up to me and tried his best to stab me in my eye with his beak. Hummingbirds do not have the body strength to put behind any aggression so they are definitely not dangerous. I think the only danger in that situation would have been if I had left my eyelid open. He could have potentially scratched my eye, but the real danger was from me dying of laughter because the whole situation was so preposterous. Here's a tiny wisp of a bird, taking on a full-grown human, and thinking that he could win. I simply blew on him, and that tiny bit of wind pushed him back from my face. That snapped him out of it and he flew off to annoy the other birds in the yard.”

Other birds oil their feathers so water won't harm them. Owls don't do this so they can fly silently. I had once at a show an owl flying right beside my head and there was absolutely no sound. Oiled feathers make that little "swoosh" one would imagine from birds flying buy

I had a budgie as a kid that loved it when we gave her cucumber slices. And it would be great... until she remembered that she could take little bites of the cucumber and toss it all over the place. I hated it because the little cucumber bits dried up pretty fast and got pretty difficuld to clean up. It was also super annoying when she threw her seeds all over. But at least we could just quickly vacuum them up. Lol.

White crested duck <3. It is a breed. The white crested duck is known for its friendly and docile nature, making it a popular choice among duck enthusiasts and hobbyists. They are often gentle, curious, and easy to handle.
“I also think a misconception about hummingbirds is that they are loners. And, for the most part in my experience, this is true with my resident hummingbirds who stay year-round in the backyard. They tend to keep to themselves and avoid eye contact, except during mating season. But for the travelers, which is what I call the migratory hummingbirds: I have noticed a camaraderie between them. It has been said that all of these birds travel alone on the migratory route, sometimes as far north as Canada, and as far south as Mexico. I don’t think that they travel alone. Every year the rufous hummingbirds arrive in our yard: they all arrive on the same day. “

This is the pre-teen stage where the penguin understands that one day it will look like the adults. Then there's the teenage-stage where it will shed the fluff and look like something (cute) the cat dragged inside (this must equal the zits human teenagers have). And then as the penguin reaches adulthood regarding to law, it will look just as awesome as the other adult penguins. (This is the thought stream I got from this pic. Lol)

As a mother, and non-Christian, I do this because there are children in the neighborhood and idiots drive 40mph down the alleys. I'm always worried my son is going to get hit when he rides his bike through the alleys to get to the trails a couple of blocks over, so I totally get this bird stance!
“I think the main draw for bird content is that people don’t know as much about interactions with birds as they do with other animals such as cats and dogs. So there is something mysterious about people who are able to interact with birds. But it’s not a special gift that I’ve been given, it’s the idea that if you show an animal that you hear them and you see them. They will begin to interact with you. The most important thing that you can do if you want to interact with anything in the natural world is to express kindness towards them.”

“Show them that you do not mean any harm. The best way to do this is to speak quietly and move slowly. If you want to make friends with the birds in your yard, become part of the scenery. Take a book and go and sit at a table outside and set your hummingbird feeder on the table 4 feet away from you. And every single day sit out there at the exact same time until the birds realize that you are just another creature in the backyard. This is how I started to get the hummingbirds to hand feed from me from the little hand feeders filled with sugar water. It takes time. But it’s definitely worth it.”
