Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

A female cardinal. They're chill.

Looks like a juvenile, too, based on the color of the beak and the general gawky teenager energy.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't have a good comment. I looked at the bird.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Fuck you. That is so accurate! 😆

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

That is a beautiful bird

…hey wait… where’s my wallet?

[–] flughoernchen@feddit.org 7 points 1 year ago

I did look and it's indeed a bird. Thank you.

Acquiring bird

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago

It's either a bishop or a cardinal.

The bird pictured is a bird that is good to look at.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, I'm lookin ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm more serious about it than you. I'm watching that bird.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I can see your hands therefor you are not as serious about this as me.

That is a right fit bird

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 1 year ago

Points for being straightforward. We can’t always come up with a clever title. And yes, I looked. Thank you!

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

@2ugly2live Then let "bird" be the title

I would be so excited if I saw this bird up close! What a cool bird with their little Mohawk, bright eye makeup and accents. Punk AF.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

That’s one fit bird.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 4 points 1 year ago

That bird is amazing.

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Consider your bird looked at. It is a good bird. Nice long tail feathers and good solid munching action. 8/10.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Silly question: are they called cardinals because they look like they have huge hats?

[–] sentientity@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like. Also,

A group of Northern Cardinals is called a "college," "conclave," or "Vatican."

[–] sentientity@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Precious creature.
