Even unremarkable tits are known to have this effect on me

Fool of me, I searched "Great Tits" to learn more about this bird and, well... Don't do it.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I want a review of great tits for wendsday, first hour.

[-] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

Unfortunately, great tits are always eating at my brains.

[-] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 days ago

Birds never stopped being dinosaurs 🤷

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 13 points 3 days ago

Anyone who has owned chickens knows this for a fact. They're fucking brutal.

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

And if you give them a fake tail they walk like dinosaurs.

Apparently horses sometimes eat small birds. They shouldn't but it seems it can happen if they are hungry, or bored and/or curious.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 43 points 3 days ago

A family member had a mule that had to be kept away from the chickens, as the animal would gobble up any chick within reach.

It wasn't casual, it wasn't out of hunger.

The vet was horrified when he saw it happen, even after being warned.

[-] huppakee@piefed.social 25 points 3 days ago

🎶 I ate a chick and i liked it 🎶

Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eating a sparrow and reading a non fiction book where a fox steals sugar beets from a farmer because it got addicted to sugar. It's nature. Rules are made to be broken in nature. That all I know.

I liked it more when I thought the sentence stopped here.

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 9 points 3 days ago

Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD

[-] four@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 days ago

I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image

I just had a vision of a deer sitting at a table in a French bistro, about to take a bite out of a sparrow impaled on a fork in one hoof and a Haynes manual for a Triumph Stag in the other. Made me laugh.

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

~~crested~~ tufted titmouse;

[-] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Tufted titmouse would be my guess.

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

this one has a sunflower seed. angle makes it hard to see 'tuft', but is probably same;

[-] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Nice, and I see a black-capped chickadee too.

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

started another community. pinned post has link to my trailcam pics album. thousands to scroll through from just this winter. i'm not a birder, just love to see them. ;; https://midwest.social/c/bird

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I love watching birds. We have a bird feeder outside kitchen window and see all kinds of birds show up there.

Why is every bird better looking than most humans... They really are.

Just this guy in your picture, stunning.

I've seen chickens do this to other chickens. It's normal for them to peck at each other a bit, but if they see blood, they go crazy. They also eat eggs sometimes. Chickens, though

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago

Chickens actively hunt and eat mice, as well. I've actually seen one of my chickens find, slam around until dead (I fucking hope it was dead anyway), and swallow whole a mouse.

Brutal little creatures. They would 100% kill and eat you if they were big enough/ you were small enough.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Humans are a very fortunate size, aren’t we? A little bigger, and we’d be extinct like most megafauna. A little smaller, and our place on the food chain would be very different.

[-] macros@feddit.org 10 points 3 days ago

You know the reason why most of the recent megafauna went extinct? (Mammoths, big birds, giant sloth, saber toothed cat, ...)

[-] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago

You know that we are megafauna. And the extinct megafauna had the misfortune to be either good eating for H. Sapiens, or were too dangerous to us to let live

As it turns out, many "herbivores" just need to eat and will fill in with your flesh given the chance and they're hungry enough

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Tits aren't herbivores, they mainly eat lots of insectsl. The description in the comic is pretty misleading.

The first thing to successfully starting a war is to dehumanize the target

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Eat their brain, gain their knowledge.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

My honest reaction every time I see something like this. For what it's worth, the small mammals were pipistrelle bats, and other flesh and organs were missing. I don't think they've ever been reported to eat rodents.

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago

Great Tits man

..and by "harsh" they mean "typical"

Here, in the North, as snow covers the ground we make sacrificial fat ball offerings to the beast, you know, just in case. Brain is mostly fat tissue.

[-] Jaimesmith@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Mostly doing a lot of heavy lifting here 💀
