Awesome Birds

Seagull vs. Seagull

Seagull vs. Seagull

A seagull spots another seagull moving in on its territory, and gives it a stern warning to keep away. The only problem is the other bird is just its reflection it a car’s shiny bumper cover. Guess you can’t expect too much from a brain the size of a pea.

Ostrich vs. Bikers

Ostrich vs. Bikers

A couple of cyclists were taking a training ride through the roads of Cape Town, South Africa, when an unexpected rival found its way onto the course. Apparently this ostrich was so hell-bent on chasing off the bike riders that it kept up at speeds up to 30mph.

Falcon Belly Dance

Falcon Belly Dance

Amusing footage of Bertha, the American Kestrel as she maintains the position of her head perfectly no matter how much her handler seems to move around. We’re thinking the scientific name for her species should be Steadifalcon.

Parrot Bottle Opener

Parrot Bottle Opener

We’ve seen a bunch of crazy ways to open a bottle, but this guy might have taken the prize, having trained his Hyacinth Macaw Ringo to crack bottles open with his beak. We could have sworn we saw this on The Flintstones first.

Super Villain Bird

Super Villain Bird

This bird’s evil laugh will have you convinced that he’s plotting to overthrow the world, while our hero is tied to a table with a laser pointed at his crotch. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the ring leader of the Duck Army.

Flaming Phoenix Puppet

Flaming Phoenix Puppet

Performance artist Cinder Petrichor demonstrates a truly unique puppet she designed and built to look like the mythical fiery bird rising from the ashes. The moving puppet doesn’t self destruct thanks to its wire and Kevlar construction.

This Cockatoo is an Asshole

This Cockatoo is an Asshole

And here we thought cats were the only jerks in the house. Turns out that birds can be pretty inconsiderate too, as is proven by this destructive cockatoo. Seriously, what did those cups ever to do you, Harley?

Calm Owl

Calm Owl

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. That’s the phrase that kept going through our minds after watching this brief clip of an owl who is apparently in a very relaxed state. We’d hate to see her on edge.

This Parrot is Awesome

This Parrot is Awesome

Princess Yellow Feather sounds like the name of a character from a family flick, and this amazon parrot knows how to sing Everything is Awesome from The LEGO Movie like a boss. Best comment: “Everything is awesome…when you live in a tree.”

Seagull Steals GoPro

Seagull Steals GoPro

What is it with animals and cameras? These folks were shooting some video of a seagull while vacationing on the Cíes Islands in Spain, when the mischievous bird decided that it was time to grab their GoPro and make a run for it.

Man vs. Pigeon

Man vs. Pigeon

Redditor axw820 shares how he reacted while driving away a pigeon from his house. At least he got karma and money out of it, unlike when we and four other grown men tried to fend off a scabby rat with a feather duster and shrieks.

Cockatoo’s Cup Songs

Ambitious Woodpecker

Usually, woodpeckers tap away at trees to get some sap or bugs out of them, but it appears that this pileated ‘pecker spotted in New Brunswick, Canada has its sights set on chopping down and entire tree with its beak.

Starlings Changing Power Lines

RISD film and video professor Dennis Hlynsky recorded this mesmerizing footage of hundreds of starlings as they move from power line to power line. Using a high-speed camera, he was able to record the flight path of each individual bird.

Parrot. James Parrot.

Parrot. James Parrot.

The owner of Lottie the African grey parrot has trained it to not only do an impression of James Bond’s classic introductory line, but to whistle the theme song afterwards. Also, this parrot has a license to kill.

Crowtobomb

Crowtobomb

A curious black crow decides to flaunt its stuff right in front of a webcam that was set up to capture the setup of the ice rink for the NHL Stadium Series at San Francisco’s Levi’s Stadium. And no, it’s not a Baltimore Raven.

Owl Does the Breaststroke

Owl Does the Breaststroke

While the footage of this great horned owl taking a swim in Lake Michigan might appear to be a calming sight, there’s more to it than meets the eye – apparently the bird used this technique to escape from a pair of peregrine falcons.

Asus: Birds with Arms

Asus: Birds with Arms

We don’t usually care for any commercial with talking animals or babies in them, but we’ll make an exception for this quirky spot for ASUS which features hybrid man-birds, to promote their T100 hybrid laptop-tablet.

Crazy Cockatoo

Crazy Cockatoo

YouTuber MegaBirdCrazy’s 25-year-old cockatoo Pebble doesn’t like the idea of her human parents watching TV instead of her, and goes straight-up loco. And people say kids are attention hogs.

Pigeon Does Not Know What’s up

Pigeon Does Not Know What’s up

At first glance, we just thought this was a bunch of rats with wings pigeons hanging out like they’ve been known to do in urban settings. But give it a second, and you’ll realize that it’s a sham. The bird’s thought bubble: “More food for me!”

Laser Bird

Laser Bird

As David Atternborough previously taught us, the Lyrebird can make all sorts of strange noises. Here, YouTuber Wen Hao Lee stumbles across one of the vocal Australian birds doing its best impression of a science fiction ray gun.
