Rolling Avian Issues Thread

but there are others

the flamingo at least has a weirdly ascetic diet

xp - you should think about the implications of how quickly you click "submit post"

oh ZING! that's some chirpy stuff

flamingos are rated?

flamingos are p rated. flamingo iconography in pop culture is p extensive

p

ick

what about their backsides? amirite?

just realised that 'ha' and then '✓' would have been far, far better xp to selfe

Will not hear a word said against flamingos.

Feel like we are reaching 'peak owl' atm but they are still great so whatever.

i'm sorry but that is a "check mark"

oh, some eagle is probably the most pretentious/overrated. or the condor - especially dismal as saprophytic & literally only noteworthy for its wingspan, which the largest albatrosses have in greater supply regardless

sarahell i don't even are you trying to send me mad here lol

falcons >>>> owls >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> eagles > vultures

kites and harriers somewhere closer to owls than eagles tbfttls

he looked like a ha-check clerk at an ice rink, which in fact, he turned out to beeeee

what about seahawks ravens and cardinals

And if you’re vegetarian, it could make a very suitable avian familiar.

sweet, although all chickens are p stupid & characterless imo

ravens are ahead of falcons & indeed all corvids are among the best of birds. Seahawks are ok. cardinals...aren't they fairly innocent?

yeah cardinals are delightful songbirds but what they're doing in a raptor classification i simply do not know

nfl avians

Maybe when I wake up tomorrow I'll forget that the one team that links me to my childhood and that I truly take pride in (sorry, Yanks), just laid an egg that next Sunday will hatch into the 8-8 Arizona Cardinals, who were 3-7 outside of their historically shitty division, hosting the all-faggy-bird-team-name NFC Championship.

idk if mordy will take well to the eagles being included in that

russian money, trapped birds

you need people willing to pay for this shit, is what the article doesn't contemplate, and the russian oligarch approach to ecological conservation is apocalyptic at best. the only way around this is to popularise other less harmful delicacies. tbf cypriot cuisine is fucking amazing and why would you need to eat songbirds when you could have souvlaki, sheftalia etc instead - this is like the ortolan thing except seven times more savage on account of the indiscriminate nature of it

that's probably a complete misreading & borderline antislavic racism given that there are enough native cypriot shipping magnates with sizeable enough gizzards to descrub an entire continent of warblers

when you have that much money, do you just start really enjoying the slaughter and consumption of pretty & rare things? is it a psychological inevitability?

*rereads Remainder*

they sell for $5 each apparently so scarcely as rarified as all that

just the sort of thing any sylvan dwelling cypriot bloke would have for supper of an evening

maybe drug dealers sell them along with other contraband

casu marzu stylee yh

but a single songbird is tiny, you'd need 7 or 8 to remotely sate you

would u be prepared to try it if an ecologist could persuade u that the relevant species are not in existential danger?

also prepared to eat bird entrails

That makes sense. It's weird to think of birds getting lonely and being super needy, but I guess it happens when you keep an animal capable of flight inside a house.

i...oh this is v difficult. aesthetically no, gastronomically yes. let's say no because i never will, realistically

the only circumstance i would eat them is an uncovering of Real Cyprus with J Meades

oh yeah he is really into all sorts of grotty offal type things from provincial france

distinctly recall a Jeremy Clarkson tour of France wherein he ate ortolan

Meades would do similar but with tenfold grace & historiographic insight
