I always wondered if this bird ever actually learned to eat on its own.

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know he's been trying for a few years at least and he still hasn't caught it. I don't have high hopes for him.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I saw a picture of a dead bird recently. I wonder if it was him.

This is the part where someone comes along and tells me this bird is suffering from some neurologic disorder that will lead to it's starvation and eventual death.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 57 points 11 months ago

Nah, it's just very young and hasn't learned how to eat yet without its mother feeding it.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 54 points 11 months ago

It's probably still young and learning everything doesn't just get vomited into your mouth when you grow up.

Bird scientist here. In scientific terms, we say "That lad is proper fucked".

[–] blx@lemmy.zip 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Bird scientist? Are you an ornithologist? Or are you a bird wearing glasses and a labcoat?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

He's a chicken, I tell ya! A giant chicken!

Bird software engineer here, he is just calculating whether to take another bic mac or not. Happens when the bird is on a diet trying get ripped.

Is that proprietary software or you FOSS it out?

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Proprietary Raytheon drone drivers are the worst

You're uploading that to pidgeons now? I've been seeing owls going through them like a breeze.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 13 points 11 months ago

Yeah it is.

This bird you see, is real dumb.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Thankfully, Lemmy didn't seem to suffer from that...yet

Leave that poor bird alone

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 45 points 11 months ago

Aaaaaa. Huh?! Aaaaaa. Sir, I’m SAYING Aaaaa. What the heck?!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Imagine a baby T-Rex doing this you.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 12 points 11 months ago

That's a better imaginary scene than most involving tyrannosaurs

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

Kids these days are so spoiled

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It is like 4 weeks old. You were that dumb at 4 wk too.

Worse actually,yeah.

[–] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I like to imagine the bird is just screaming at the grub to taunt it.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 months ago

Selection is a very cruel mistress. It's a case for genetic engineering.

[–] Nounka@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I'm torn between roflol and feeling like cheering for him.

C'mon, do something
