>>419459 The padding on the wall makes that especially hilarious when taken out of context, although it would be more believable if the side was cropped a bit.
>>420043 Its strange that the goose is so focused on pecking at the humans jacket & shoes that it completely ignores the dog wrapping teeth around its neck.
Thats a very sweet dog, trying to protect the person but also careful in not ripping the goddamn devilbirds head off while doing so.
>>420235 Probably. I'm sure there would be a few fake/parody videos out there but Adelaide Zoo and Attenborough documentaries seem trustworthy to me. Wikipedia's citations: >The lyrebird's syrinx is the most complexly-muscled of the passerines (songbirds), giving the lyrebird extraordinary ability, unmatched in vocal repertoire and mimicry. Lyrebirds render with great fidelity the individual songs of other birds and the chatter of flocks of birds, and also mimic other animals such as koalas and dingoes. >The lyrebird is capable of imitating almost any sound and they have been recorded mimicking human sounds such as a mill whistle, a cross-cut saw, chainsaws, car engines and car alarms, fire alarms, rifle-shots, camera shutters, dogs barking, crying babies, music, mobile phone ring tones, and even the human voice. However, while the mimicry of human noises is widely reported, the extent to which it happens is exaggerated and the phenomenon is unusual.
If you want another Australian bird call, this one is kinda cool too (whipbird). Whipbird Call 13 08 2016
That is a stuffed example in some sort of exhibit right? Presumably anything that would cause all of an owl's feather to fall out like that would invariably be fatal.
>>421554 It warms my heart to see that there is someone out there (not counting Elon Musk), who managed to find himself a lil goth gf who became his goth wife, it makes me feel like I too have a chance to find a lil goth gf who will become my goth wife and we can have cute half goth babies together. Please don't try to ruin this for me.
>>422783 Well, we had larger animals in the past without lower gravity, it seems to be more a function of higher oxygen concentration and fewer humans hunting all the megafuana.

>>422827 >>422826 Here's another pic of the building concept. It does look pretty nice, but doesn't feel like something that would survive an impromptu snowstorm.
>>422845 They were live broadcasting the landing to the entire world. To fake that in 1969 would require so much investment that it would be cheaper to actually go to the moon.
And besides you can still point a large enough telescope to the moon and spot the landers left there.
>>424474 Cockatoos, man. They'll chew your damn patio. Kookaburras and lyrebirds are the real based native birds, maybe with a lorrikete (sp.?) or two.
>>424542 How does that even work, their tongue would be in two pieces when extended. Do they feel it in their heads when they extend their tongue, as it slithers around all their heads?
>>426257 I feel bad when coming back home from the supermarket and the local couple of crows around the house see my passing so they fly down next to me expecting a few bits of bread, but don't have anything for them that time.
>>428547 (@me) I mean, I did think of the short film straight away, but I just assumed you were talking about the American slang phrase 'for the birds', which I didn't even know what it meant until I looked it up just now but I did know it was a phrase. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
>>428376 Would you just love if a cheesy spy film had something like this happen? Not even dragged out for a minute with facial reactions and dramatic music, but just a devastating over-the-top assassination from a seemingly benign object.
