I always wondered if this bird ever actually learned to eat on its own.

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know he's been trying for a few years at least and he still hasn't caught it. I don't have high hopes for him.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I saw a picture of a dead bird recently. I wonder if it was him.

This is the part where someone comes along and tells me this bird is suffering from some neurologic disorder that will lead to it's starvation and eventual death.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

Nah, it's just very young and hasn't learned how to eat yet without its mother feeding it.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 52 points 2 years ago

It's probably still young and learning everything doesn't just get vomited into your mouth when you grow up.

Bird scientist here. In scientific terms, we say "That lad is proper fucked".

[–] blx@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Bird scientist? Are you an ornithologist? Or are you a bird wearing glasses and a labcoat?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

He's a chicken, I tell ya! A giant chicken!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 2 years ago

Yeah it is.

This bird you see, is real dumb.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Thankfully, Lemmy didn't seem to suffer from that...yet

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 40 points 2 years ago

Aaaaaa. Huh?! Aaaaaa. Sir, I’m SAYING Aaaaa. What the heck?!

Imagine a baby T-Rex doing this you.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 11 points 2 years ago

That's a better imaginary scene than most involving tyrannosaurs

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Kids these days are so spoiled

It is like 4 weeks old. You were that dumb at 4 wk too.

Worse actually,yeah.

[–] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I like to imagine the bird is just screaming at the grub to taunt it.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

Selection is a very cruel mistress. It's a case for genetic engineering.

[–] Nounka@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm torn between roflol and feeling like cheering for him.

C'mon, do something
