This Internet Group Shares Images Of Birds Being Jerks, Here Are The 40 Funniest Ones
Birds are a universal part of our ecosystem, from the clueless-looking pidgin to sparrows that zip by at extremely high speeds. The ability to fly equips them to be particularly immune from repercussions, so it’s no surprise that avians seem to have no qualms about taking our stuff, eating our food, and then flying away before any consequences can be felt.
The “Birds being Jerks” online group gathers examples of birds with little to no regard for humans and our stuff. So get comfortable and upvote your favorite examples as you scroll through. Be sure to comment your own bird stories and tales.

When you take into consideration the evolutionary nature of birds, it makes more sense that they might have an inclination towards jerkdom. Scientists believe that birds are the modern incarnation of dinosaurs like the velociraptor of “Jurrasic Park” fame. You might notice the word raptor, which we still use to describe various birds of prey.
They are still pretty unique in the modern world, as they are the only animals with feathers. The only exception to this is the kiwi, which is furry and flightless, much like the fruit. They also lay eggs, despite being warm-blooded, much to the benefit of our breakfast. One thing modern birds do not really have anymore is teeth, as their ancestors often did still retain some to access a more varied diet.

Crow Rides On The Back Of A Bald Eagle
Ah yes, the crow and the bald eagle - the odd couple of the bird world. It's a classic case of a small bird with big dreams, hitching a ride on the shoulders of a bald eagle, the ultimate symbol of freedom and majesty. I suppose it just goes to show that no matter how different we may seem on the surface, we can all find common ground when we're in it together. Or maybe that crow is just trying to save his energy for the next heist.

Oh yeah. An African swallow, maybe -- but not a European swallow, that's my point.

Sulphur crested cockatoos just like this one used to drop pine cones from a tree with such force that they regularly broke roof tiles on my father-in-law's house. Just to be clear, the cockatoo does not lift the coconut or pine cone in order to drop it, it just detaches it from the top of a tall tree.
Roving gangs of cockatoos in my neighbourhood. A black, red tailed one tried to trash the window seals around my partner’s work van…they’re endangered so my only choice was to distract it with wild parrot feed.
That bastard and his mates attacked my lemon tree yesterday. They get them just before they’re ripe.
Strange fact: Cockatoos are not fowl. Fowl refers to an ancient branch of the bird family which includes turkeys, chickens, pheasants and (if you include waterfowl) ducks, geese, swans, etc.
Feathers give birds all sorts of benefits, from flight, insulation, and protection against water. The flip side is that it ends up requiring them to spend almost 10% of their time just grooming and preening. Reflecting their dinosaur heritage, some birds also have scales, primarily on their toes. The ability to fly comes with the need for rapid digestion and very quick metabolism.

Lol the sign perfectly illustrates a sea gull, right down to its spindly legs!
No Respect For The Rules
Some can also mimic the noises of other animals, including humans. Parrots are pretty famous for taking on the mannerisms and expressions used by their owners, while crows can mimic the sounds of predators. They use this to attract said predators to carcasses, allowing wolves or bears to split open the dead animal and gain access to the meat inside.

Rainbow lorikeets! The most commonly seen wild bird in Australia. Very little fear of humans. A wildlife park in Queensland regularly pranks tourists like this. An unforgettable experience. There's a photo of young me in exactly the same situation.

They won't eat children, but they have been known to eat pigeons and small mammals. I know a place where the pelicans are regularly fed, daily. They are friendly birds, not aggressive.

A full post only about birds. Heaven. I love them more than any other animal
If I had a beak like a parrot, I would probably also not be able to resist biting things.
My mom's parrot (blue fronted Amazon) stole a chicken leg bone from my plate before I could even move to take it from her she snapped it in half with one bite like it was a toothpick! She has bitten off chunks of molding around doors and you never wear shirts with buttons around this bird, she shatters them into pieces while they're still on your shirt if you don't stop her. Try and stop her she bites your fingers!

People who say that cats are mischievous and “evil incarnated” have never owned a bird. Most bird owners will agree that owning a bird is absolutely amazing and wonder to (I am in this camp) and while they can act like loving, feathered, flying puppies they can also act like highly intelligent super villains and destructors of worlds. My bird has laughed at me after I told him not to attack water bottles. I do love my naughty, adorable, loving, mischievous parrot 🦜
Hah! I love your bird already. If I tell mine not to eat random c**p from the window sill he will get right into my face and tell me to shut up. Literally fly right over and repeatedly say shut up if I dare tell him not to do something that's bad for him

i went to a bird park wearing earrings (shiny gold studs, big mistake...) and one of these little guys pinched it right off my ear! he didn't eat it, fortunately for both of us, but come on man! i laugh about it now but i was so mad
By the way, don't imitate a birds call during mating season unless you are willing to fight it to the death. I managed to imitate one of them while I was eating my lunch in the park. Evidently I engaged it in combat and it attacked me until I fled the territory making it the winner. It was 3 months before I was allowed to go back to that park without birds attacking me.
Shhhh, they lurk in the shadows waiting to censor words like d**k and w***y. Just last week they censored die, urine, and cartoon blood in a cute little web-comic.
