in the end, birds can poop on us, so you have to pretend to like them or never go outside.

Horned screamers remind me of groan tubes. As for boobies, bird enthusiasts still giggle about it

I already had a deep seated fear of cassowaries. This video has officially placed ostriches in a similar position.

Saying no matter where you live you can see some type of bird is like saying no matter where you live you'll see some type of insect/mammal. Like, no sh*t.

Panicked. I thought the book came out November 11 next year. Also, as a huge Bird Nerd, I am so happy that I found a video that is not “this is a bird. A bird is a bird. Birds have feathers. Yay” thank you so much, Lindsay!
