Watching the birds high above me, sail upon the heat currents from below. This enjoy this free energy during sunny days. There's many, but my cell phone camera is limited in capturing a large area effectively

Meanwhile, hummingbirds fly over my shoulder

Birds Aren't Real, or Are They? Inside a Gen Z Conspiracy Theory. | Yahoo! News

In Pittsburgh; Memphis, Tennessee; and Los Angeles, massive billboards recently popped up declaring, “Birds Aren’t Real.”
On Instagram and TikTok, Birds Aren’t Real accounts have racked up hundreds of thousands of followers, and YouTube videos about it have gone viral.
Last month, Birds Aren’t Real adherents even protested outside Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco to demand that the company change its bird logo.
The events were all connected by a Gen Z-fueled conspiracy theory, which posits that birds do not exist and are really drone replicas installed by the U.S. government to spy on Americans. Hundreds of thousands of young people have joined the movement, wearing Birds Aren’t Real T-shirts, swarming rallies and spreading the slogan.

So, birds are real. Now, birbs, on the other hand...

The Australian coot has actual clown feet

I mean, look at those crazy things. It looks like old-timey dinosaur art exploded out of this poor bird’s toes. We really shouldn’t stare, but those kickers are wild.
