birds

Howdy, pals! It's another beautiful day in paradise. The coffee is flowing through our veins, the good vibes are flowing through our beings, and we've got lots of exciting plans on the horizon. Life is heckin good. Today we've decided to stray from our usual cats and dogs, as much as we love them, and compile a series of memes inspired by the birbs in our lives.

Birds are flippin awesome and they are super smart, too! There are hella different types of birds and each is unique and special in their own way. Some birds such as parrots, are known for their superior intelligence and ability to communicate verbally! We hope you enjoy this hilarious series of super silly birb memes, and don't forget to step outside today and enjoy the sunshine.

Oof we absolutely hate to see animals that are injured, or in pain. However, it fills our hearts with hope and wholesome goodness when kind folks passing by manage to spot this phenomenon and promptly intervene! We truly believe that it is part of our responsibility as humans on earth to protect our fellow animal species and always lend a helping hand!

Today an Imgur user came across an injured red-tailed hawk and immediately intervened. Let's learn a bit more about red-tailed hawks shall we? According to All About Birds: "This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you've got sharp eyes you'll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings." Our bird in question was taken to the nearest vet who could accommodate her! We wish her a super speedy recovery.

Okay, we have seen many beautiful animals in our time, but this stunning birdmight just take the cake. "Strikingly beautiful and intelligent, the Victoria crowned pigeon is a fascinating ground bird to watch. It is common to see at a zoo or aviary. Although this is a gentle bird, it is not a bird for novices. Even pigeon fanciers and experienced bird owners need to ensure they have the dedicated space and time required by these majestic creatures." Via the Spruce Pets.

"This bird is the largest living pigeon and the closest remaining relative to the extinct dodo bird. It was named in honor of Queen Victoria for its flashy blue crown of intricate lace-like patterns and its regal poise." Who knew, this bird and the extinct dodo are cousins! It comes as no surprise to us thatthis bird was named after royalty, just look at how vibrant the color of its feathers are! Thismajestic bird looks like it was destined to sit on the throne of our hearts.  Via the Spruce Pets.

According to a report by The Guardian, Sea Eagles have returned to Loch Lomond for the first time in over a century! That's a longgg time. Since their arrival to the area in early March, they have since been seen searching for suitable nesting sites, suggesting that they intend to stay in the area. "It is believed that this is the first time sea eagles have settled in Loch Lomond since their UK extinction in the early 20th century due to persecution and habitat changes, with the last known UK sighting before their reintroduction reported in Shetlend in 1918."

NatureScot's operations manager, Paul Roberts, had this to say: "This is the latest chapter in the continuing success story of sea eagle conservation. Along with our partners, we carefully manage the reserve to offer rich and diverse habitats to support a wide range of birds and other wildlife, so it's very rewarding to see the sea eagles return to Loch Lomond after all these years. We're working closely with Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority (LLTNPA) and RSPB Scotland to protect the birds and we are urging visitors to enjoy the reserve responsibly and make sure they don't disturb them."

Way to go NatureScot! We love to hear about wildlife conservation success stories, looks like the sea eagles have made their return and are here to stay!!

We woke up this morning feeling a need for an extra pep in our step. These chirpy birbs filled that need completely. There's nothing like a little chirpiness in the mornings to leave you feeling refreshed and recharged! And what better way to add a little chirp to your step than with a goofy birb video dump. These awdorable birbs literally sing to us. How many people can say that they got sung to this morning? Hint, not a lot.

Recently, birds have totally captured our attention and interest. We've done pieces about parrots, the national bird of Kenya, along with our usual bird memes and humor. And yet our thirst for bird knowledge and content has not been quenched! This dudes literally speak to us in different cool accents. Birb power for the win.

Hello to all and to all a good day! Boy, do we have a treat for you today! It's not every day we get to witness the miracle of new life being brought into this world. Birth and life in the animal kingdom looks veryyy different from our human world. The American Robin goes through the (not so simple!) process of laying and incubating eggs until their bird babies are ready to hatch and enter the world! Birds are awesome.

The American Robin is an icon of American springtime, known for their bright orange bellies and beautiful songs! Fun fact: the American Robin is the state bird for Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin. These birds have clearly captured  the attention these states' residents, and today they've captured ours as well! Let's watch this magical process.

The Lilac-Breasted Roller is the national bird of Kenya, and it is no secret why! These birds are absolutely beautiful, many consider them to be the most beautiful birds in the world. They boast a diverse pastel color pallet, including vibrant blues, purples, and oranges. Once spotted, it is hard to look away from them as they are completely mesmerizing!

Tsavo Trust, an action oriented, field based, Kenyan not for profit conservation organization, says that: 'As the global pandemic continues, people across the world are finding themselves confined to their houses, running out of ways to entertain themselves. Well, for anyone living in Kenya, it might be the perfect time to go bird-watching. Kenya boasts over 1000 species of bird…However, there is one bird that is inarguably a Kenyan national treasure. Indeed, for many people, this bird is considered a national symbol for Kenya. Yes, that bird is the lilac-breasted roller. The roller is perhaps the only bird in Kenya that, when sighted, provokes as much crooning as the sighting of a lion or cheetah.'

These magnificent birds have got our full attention, lets learn more!
