ITT your favorite birds.
>>183769and harpy eagle.someone told me that vultures were not considered birds of prey. can someone confirm this?
>>183770I can. They're scavengers; they don't actively hunt anything, so they're not birds of prey.
I am also a vulture fan. Eurasian black vulture here.
>>183776King vulture.
>>183777They have awesome white eyes.
>>183776Egyptian vulture.
Accipiters will always be the superior birds, though.
Bitchy looking Cooper's.
Can't have accipiters without goshawks.
And of course, these badass motherfuckers. Golden eagles pick off foxes and small deer with no issue.
>>183787
And beautiful eagle owls.
>>183791
And now I'll stop spamming the thread with flesh-eaters. Golden-breasted starling
Crested crane.
Glossy starling
Pekin robin
>>183798
>>183776
Harris hawk, one of the only social raptors. Fuck, I'm on to the flesh-eaters again.
>>183780Smart birds; they crack open egg shells with rocks.
>>183807They're also hideous.
CROOOOOW!
Starlings.Mine says her name, rings like the alarm clock and says 'bork bork bork' (?!).Best birds ever.
>>183811i second that with a hooded crow
>>183838Bloody eagle! All that poor foxy wanted to do was yiff.Anyway... I like Muscovy ducks.
Red-winged black birds. They're just too cute to me.>>183859Holy shit, I never knew what those were called. My family and I just referred to them as "turkey ducks". Thanks, Anon!
>>183859OM NOM NOM DELICIOUS FURRIES
>>183866NOOO!
>>183820Your bird does a Swedish Chef impersonation? That's awesome!
KIWIS!!
>>183860Mine too. Love em.
If it has feathers, it's a bird, right?
I have a soft spot for cormorants, for some reason. They're ugly and elegent at the same time, I suppose.
>>183778what the fuck is that random shitty tissue on it's face
All birds of paradise.
>>183957It's skin. Birds that think carrion tastes great also think that sort of thing is real sexy.
Mandarin duck.
>>183958Fucking emoticons.
Raven. They walk funny.
>>184005You, sir, fail at ornithology.
How do you tell the difference between a crow and a raven? Are ravens just bigger?
in b4 tits and boobies
>>184023Ravens and crows are like hummers and jeeps.
>>184023Also the fact that the raven is completely black, while the hooded crow in the photo was partially grey, should be something of a clue.
>>184007I do, because in my language "Raven" and "Crow" are the same word.
>>184030what about thick-billed ravens? Or white-necked ravens.. or brown-neck ravens...?
Tawny Frogmouth. They're just cute.
i like ravens, if i would not have the paranoia of them attacking me while sleeping i would get one as pet lol.
>>184047Not only is that bird not tawny, but there are also no frogs in that picture. There is, however, a mouth.You, sir, are a liar.
>>184060I didn't name 'em, I just like 'em.Have one swallowing a squirrel.
And a Papuan Frogmouth.
>>184047They have the most priceless facial expressions.
>>184066Yes! They are such awkward looking birds, I love them.
silkie chickens
hell yeah snowy egret
>>184073look at that body
I can't help loving Cedar Waxwings. They're so sleek and fake-looking.
i think finches are cute little things
Common nighthawk. I was just getting into the mood for winter but now I'm nostalgic for those warm late-light evenings with the sound of these little guys overhead.
>>184139wtf is this?
>>184074Oh baby.
>>184039How about figuring out what the colloquial term "raven" refers to. (Hint: the animal you are looking for is also known as Corvus corax)
>>183769
>>184211A pokemon, read the image name.
>>184023Ravens are slightly bigger, but the main way to tell are their bills.Ravens have thicker, more blunted bills while a crow's bill is sharper and curved slightly because they are scavengers.
