30 Hilarious Bird Photography Fails That Got Posted On This Facebook Group (New Pics)
As the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have shown us time and time again, animal photos don't have to be perfect to put a smile on our face.
But the Facebook group 'Crap bird photography' takes this notion to another level. As the people behind the online community explain in its About section, the group is dedicated to those images that aren't up to scratch.
"You know the story: there's always something in the way, they just won't pose right; the camera does something it shouldn't; wrong exposure, fuzzy photos, can't get the bird in the frame, etc, etc," they write. "We preferably want photos of wild birds. Funny photos are acceptable, but keep in mind the main emphasis should be on photos gone wrong."
So continue scrolling to check out the group's latest viral posts and fire up our first publication on it for the earlier ones!

Look at that rooster! THE LOOK IN HIS EYES! This is not just a vibe, this is a state of mind!
Wildlife conservation photographer Carla Rhodes told Bored Panda that she loves working with birds. "Simply put, they keep you on your toes as a wildlife photographer."
"They are magical creatures coming in a stunning array of colors, shapes, and sizes. All wildlife photography is challenging, especially birds who are often far away, tiny, and incredibly quick… Especially when they are in flight!" she said.

You have to chew your food before swallowing or it comes out hard.
Rhodes, who's done a lovely project called 'Beneath The Bird Feeder,' said that the environment is a key part of wildlife photography.
"By showing the animal’s environment in the photo, you are able to communicate a larger story, especially about the habitat in which the animal occurs."
"Birds live in many different types of environments, which can create stunning and varied photos. On the flip side, this can create challenging situations (for example, warblers who are tiny, speedy, and often high up in trees or in dense thickets)," she explained.

But the thing Rhodes loves most about birds is their varied personalities. "Some birds are shy, some are more friendly and some are highly intelligent and possibly plotting to take over the world (I'm looking at you, corvids)!"
"For further example: endangered greater adjutant storks in India are one of my favorite birds that I've ever photographed. I found these 5-foot-tall birds to have a stoic and commanding presence."
"Closer to home here in the Catskill Mountains of New York, USA, I find black-capped chickadees and dark-eyed juncos to be especially curious and hilarious subjects."

Excuse Me. Did You Say Something?

Used to feed a maggie in the mornings. If he ever showed up and i hadn't put munchies out for him yet, I'd hear the click clack of his claws on the wooden porch, then get a very strong feeling of being watched. I'd turn my head to look at the door and see him staring daggers at me. EXACTLY THIS FACE in the picture. He was good value I miss him.

Words Fail Me
However, according to the State of the World's Birds report, which is released every four years by BirdLife International, the expansion and intensification of agriculture is putting pressure on 73% of species.
Logging, invasive species, exploitation of natural resources, and climate breakdown are the other main threats.

Taken Today
Globally, 49% of bird species are in decline, one in eight are being threatened with extinction, and at least 187 species are confirmed or suspected to have gone extinct since 1500.
Most of these have been endemic species living on islands, although there is an increase in birds now going extinct on larger land masses, particularly in tropical regions.
In Ethiopia, for example, the conversion of grassland to farmland has caused an 80% decrease in endemic Liben larks since 2007.

Ostriches have two eyelids, so I’m guessing the cause of the zombie eyes is their second lid closing

My First Submission
Just 6% of bird species globally are increasing. "We have to stop these declines and start getting on track for recovery," Dr. Stuart Butchart, chief scientist at BirdLife International, said.
"Our future, as well as the world’s birds, depends on it. If we continue to unravel the fabric of life, we’re going to continue to place our own future at threat.”

Some Of Us Have Never Held A Chicken Before And It Shows
dragons grish 3 years ago
YOU JUST HAVE TO HOLD CHICKEN LIKE HAMBURGER! SIMPLE! HOLD WINGS AND BODY. HAMBURGER. VERY GENTLE BUT FIRM
PixxelDust 3 years ago
To those who are wondering - put your thumbs together and hold your hands out in a U shape, curl your hands over the wings so they can't flap, and let your fingers meet (or not, if it's a bigger bird) at the chest or underbelly. Some people also grab them by sliding their hand between the legs from behind and holding them by the chest, but that runs the risk of getting chicken poop on your hands if it's not a well-groomed chook.
