Not being familiar with the guy, there were a few points where I thought he was about to pop that birdlette into his mouth, and while that seemed odd to me…man, this IS the internet.
What an incredibly sweet way to start my Sunday.
Birds have belly buttons!
I’ve never thought about this before. Now, I am fascinated by birb belly buttons. Am I weird?
he was just coaxing the birbette to the nest he’d grown on his face
I believe the technical term is birblet. Jeez, learn your science.
But the egg was not rescued, was it? It was in the end destroyed by the creature growing in it.
This seems imminently reasonable to me. Even better is that they are technically dinosaur belly buttons! heheh!
snrf, sniffle I got sumfing in my eye! sneef, snurfle
I’m working with the metric birb units… don’t get me started on dividing fractions with imperial “berbs”!
Nope, not having a head full fascinations would be weird. You’re weird for other reasons (winky face added to convey a joke, because that’s a thing now)
Have I got a website for you!!!
I have to say, I had a very joyous emotional reaction to this video. I look forward to following this guy.
Converting to Gregorian Borbs is a real headache.
Pff, Birbs Avoirdupois were good enough for Henry VII…
Marxist historihens tell us that eggs are inevitably destroyed by internal contradictions during the later stages of their development.
I didn’t intend to watch the whole thing, figuring I’d skip parts…9 minutes later, it was over.
Not just a great story, but killer editing. There was very little filler.
I’ll admit this opinion isn’t gonna be popular, but this would make the cutest, little omelette.
