Some birds are amazing, esp. the corvids.
But note that you never see any gifs of geese being friendly sweet-natured birds.

No such compilation is complete without the videos of crow making cats fight for their amusement:

That baby owl in the video straight up kicked that other bird’s ass.

That is a barred owl. They happily eat other birds (and squirrels, rats, snakes, and whatever they can kill). It’s completely insane to put one of those near another bird it could get its talons into. You know what the barred owl’s main predator is? The great horned owl.

Owls. Murderous dinosaurs. Awesome, beautiful, murderous dinosaurs.

I can’t help myself… I love this vid (posted earlier on BB). I will take any barely relevant opportunity to (re)post it.

One of the great advantages of being a bird is that humans think you are hilarious when you attack something, even when the thing being attacked is another human.

Person being chased by a goose, comedy gold.

Person being chased by a dog, maybe we should help.

Person being chased by a lion, ok, bad example, lions are also funny

Swans are jerks. Murderous, aggressive, homicidal, mean, smelly jerks.

Stay fucking away from swans.

Do you know why they have such long and wavy necks?

BECAUSE THEY ARE SNAKES. Snakes disguised as birds.

There are no swans, just cosplaying snakes. JERK snakes.

At one job I had many years ago, a bunch of Canadian geese decided they really liked hanging-out at the employee entrance. They shit all over the place and, if you came within ten yards of them, they’d start snapping at you and loudly chasing after you. Nasty assholes, those Canadians.

A domestic goose wing-knuckled my brother (age 8 or so) so hard in the knee that he was limping for a week. At least with geese, if you’re a full-sized person, facing them aggressively usually works. Swans? Bad news. One around here drowned a guy who was in a boat doing pond maintenance.

Kea are really interesting so far as birds go for many reasons, but boy are carnivorous parrots horrifying.
