I think one of the funniest things I’ve accidentally taught my parrot is yelling “WHAT?”

The best part is that if he says something weird and and someone else says “what???” he usually repeats what he just said.

Like just now, I was cooking in the kitchen and he heard me boiling water so he asked “you wanna noodle?” but I couldn’t quite hear him so I yelled “WHAT” and he repeated “you wanna noodle?”

Mostly he just likes yelling it, though.

Less funny things I’ve accidentally taught my parrot:

to make the smoke detector noise every time someone makes toast

to make gross eating noises at us when he wants us to share our food

to announce that he is about to poop just about every time he poops

to demand payment in the form of peanuts for every instance of good behavior

no seriously he says “I get a peanut” every single time and gets VERY MAD if not given a peanut

……LESS funny??!??????

I’m reading that in a “oh god what have I done” kind of way.

i love shrikes because they’re horrible little carnivores whose feeding habits are grim enough to earn then the nickname ‘butcherbird’ but they look like this

The Lady Amherst’s pheasant is a species native to China and Myanmar, although there was a feral population in England until 2015, which is now believed to be extinct. The male is known for its brilliant plumage, the black and white “cape” of which can be spread in display (last three photos). The female of the species is a much more subdued brown (shown in photo 5). The Lady Amherst’s pheasant is closely related to the golden pheasant. (x x x x x x)

Bird feeders are probably making birds evolve longer beaks

I am not going to tag the name of the bird, because I’m pretty sure I would get tagged as NSFW if I did, but I assure you their beaks are getting longer and it’s probably because of the UK’s obsession with bird feeders.

GREAT TITS GAIN MASSIVE PECKERS, MORE AT 11!

Yep that’s it, I was sort of hesitant to use “great tits” in the headline but I mean my article was on the front page of Google Science News for a lot of today (at least for me? Could have been targeted results.) But either way the story did pretty well.
