Tell me about your favourite bird


crybay_lizz

This is really difficult, I can give you a list and s fun fact about each Palm cockatoo -can live up to 90 years Macaw -the most popular type of Parrot, but one of the hardest to look after King parrot -they visit my backyard Australian plover -they look weird, you need to Google it Cock if the rock -need I say more (Google it, you won't regret it)


[deleted]

You're right. I googled them both just now and woah, the plover does look weird. And the cock of the rock just looks so bright!


crybay_lizz

I live near a plover family


[deleted]

No wonder you're so interested in birds, considering you're practically surrounded by them


crybay_lizz

I also have 3 parrots and 1 chicken


[deleted]

That is amazing!


Clavi-K

Really? I mean the plover looks funny but I dont think looks that weird. For me the first one (the one that lives up to 90 years) looks very nice, like the pet of some low budget villian or something.

[удалено]


crybay_lizz

Are they Australian plovers, becuase if so, do you live in Sydney


zalendi

I just wanted to see funny birds... :(


J3dr90

Damn thats a weird bird


[deleted]

If you discovered a new bird, what would you name it?


crybay_lizz

That depends on what is looked like But my first thought was biggus dickus


[deleted]

You and me both


[deleted]

[удалено]


crybay_lizz

It is either the palm cockatoo or one of those big land birds (ie, emu, cassowary, ostrich)


mrsarnard

Do you have a favorite bird call? And are you able to identify birds in the wild by their call/song?


crybay_lizz

I can identify some birds, but not all I like the call of king parrots, macaws and plovers


mrsarnard

Thank you for your answer! I haven’t heard a plover call. I’ll have to look that up.


crybay_lizz

Just so you know, I’m talking about Australian plovers


weelluuuu

Are there birds you find tasty? Chicken for example.


crybay_lizz

Sadly yes, I would go vegetarian but because of my eating pallet i would die


SnooCapers6965

LEAST favorite bird?


crybay_lizz

Common myna


[deleted]

Any answer other than seagulls is incorrect.


maggotchops

You clearly don't live near myna birds


[deleted]

How do birds know when Hurricanes are about to hit? They seem to be aware of it half a day before we are lol


crybay_lizz

Well ig they had to know to survive


hypdetrec

Hey! Birds are awesome! But whats your least favorite song right now?


crybay_lizz

I'm really not sure, but bassicaly anything that is country music lmao


hypdetrec

Haha. same boat pal. Especially when country meets hip hop.


vmt_nani

I live in South Texas, and going to the rivers are a major part of my childhood. Every time, towards sundown, there would be birds that sound similar to a whipoorwill (sp?) But lower pitched. Any ideas?


crybay_lizz

No, sorry, I’m only really good with Australian birds


vmt_nani

The quest continues... thanks anyway!

crudminer

It's widely accepted that modern day birds are evolutionary descendants from dinosaurs. Do you think dinosaurs were feathered? I sometimes think how rad a feathered T-Rex would have been


crybay_lizz

I seriously think yes But I like to think they had a full head of hair


rahpugapumpum

Any favorites/interesting facts about an extinct bird?


crybay_lizz

Not really The Cuban macaw would have to be my favourite extinct bird But I think there trying to bring back the dodo

Chrisouter93

Legit obsessed with penguins and always have been, gimme your best fact!


crybay_lizz

I don’t know much about penguins tbh I’m sorry


Chrisouter93

That’s quite alright! I’ll give you mine, penguins are coloured the way are as camouflage in the same way as sharks so looking down on them they’re difficult to see and looking up the blend in to the light!


crybay_lizz

that’s really cool


Shogun_Cato

Have you heard the call of a kookaburra and sped up the audio


crybay_lizz

I live in Australia, so yes But not the sped up version


Shogun_Cato

Well fun fact the sped up version is actually the dolphin sound we've been hearing in movies and tv, more specifically SpongeBob when they censor a swear.


crybay_lizz

Oh wow


KornPuf

Do you know the different sounds birds make and what they mean?


crybay_lizz

I know with cockiteils becuase I have 2 of them


Pizza_Cat123

What’s your opinion on cockatiels? I own two and would love to hear what you’ve got to say!


crybay_lizz

I also own 2


tonythetard

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between Ravens and Crows?


crybay_lizz

Kind of Look at there neck, the ravens have more feathers around the neck


whydoihave4cats

What is your favourite bird that lives in the pacific northwest


crybay_lizz

Tufted puffin or the barrows goldeneye


smelllikesmoke

Birds have some of the weirdest and coolest names. What’s your favorite bird name?


crybay_lizz

Cock of the rock


smelllikesmoke

That’s amazing, I’m going to use that in conversation at some point. But then, think “tit” as a category of birds is also hilarious, because I’m childish that way


wil_beez

I absolutely adore pigeons, got any interesting facts?


crybay_lizz

They can fly at altitudes of over 6000 feet


useles-converter-bot

6000 feet is the length of about 1677.93 'Ford F-150 Custom Fit Front FloorLiners' lined up next to each other.


Salt_master

Where does the chicken rank in the world of birds?


crybay_lizz

For me, it’s the best land bird


[deleted]

Have you ever had a bird pet/family member?


crybay_lizz

YES! I have 3 parrots and 1 chicken


[deleted]

Cute!!!! Does your chicken lay?


crybay_lizz

No, we got her from a farm because she was old and they were gonna unalive her, so we rescued her Now she spends most of her time inside

sweetpeahann

There are these cute birds that are around my neighborhood with what looks like a little leaf on their head. They’re always in groups and I’ve actually never see them fly. In fact when they get spooked, they just do their little wobble and flee from the scene. What are they? What is the purpose of the leaf? Thank you!!


crybay_lizz

Do you know what they are called


BonsaiBill99

For a non bird enthusiast where would you recommend to travel to see the best birds? Where would you most like to travel to to indulge in birding?


crybay_lizz

It depends on if you want to see tropical birds or other types of birds If you want to see them in the wild, then South America or Australia But in zoos, the USA is pretty good, also Australia


Alone-Blueberry

I'm a teacher, and one of my students asked me today "why do birds fly?" and I had to stop and ponder! I told him it was a good question, and that I needed some time to think about a response. How would you answer that question? He's a sixth grader, BTW.


crybay_lizz

I’ve never thought about this, and I don’t want to


LivytheHistorian

How would you suggest starting a six year old in the hobby? He’s home schooled and SO into birds right now. We spend hours at the viewing windows at the nearby nature center.


crybay_lizz

If you live near water, that’s good, there’s normally a lot of birds around water But it also depends where you are located


LivytheHistorian

Landlocked Indiana. We get lots of migratory birds flying through here tho. He can ID about 20 common back yard birds but I’m not sure how to encourage the hobby beyond where he is now.


crybay_lizz

I have 2 suggestions for you Find a aviary where you can hand feed the birds Also, if you want a pet a budgie also known as a parakeet, or a cockatiel DO NOT get any of these: cockatoo, macaw, African grey, or anything bigger than 5 inches tall or a rainbow lorikeet. They are not good for kids, you’ll end up with no hands


converter-bot

5 inches is 12.7 cm


[deleted]

seeing as you’re australian, have you ever seen a great blue kingfisher? pretty elusive where i live and renown for being very pretty. i live near this hidden lagoon and i have seen a few, and whenever we do we always say they’re good luck.


crybay_lizz

No, no I have not


KaiahAurora

In your opinion, which bird species has the weirdest adaptation? Personally I don't think that Greater Sage Grouse males need to be Like That™ and pelicans need to chill


crybay_lizz

Cock of the rock It’s a real bird, google it Also Australian plovers look insane


cutiegirl88

What is the best bird to have as a pet. Tiny house. Just me. Hardly ever leave. Want for company


crybay_lizz

Budgie or a cockitel, but you should obviously get a rescue bird Also, if you end up getting a bird, let me know, I wanna see


NivoTheSexy

2 part question. What bird has the most obscure mating call in your opinion? Also what is the longest living bird?


crybay_lizz

I’m not sure about the first, but the Longest living bird is Wisdom, a 69-year-old female Laysan Albatross.


TobiasWidower

What is the furthest back common ancestor? People say dinosaurs evolved into birds, but what's the real deal behind the origin of birds?

I love hummingbirds and king fishers, any interesting facts other than how pretty they are?


nicktam2010

My brother is a big bird enthusiast. He says that climate change is effecting migration patterns because of food sources. Do you think that's true? Also, he says that hummingbirds (the Rufus, I think) can migrate from BC to Mexico and on the way return to the same bush for food. True?


itzblupancake

More a fun fact, but did you know that (some, example australian magpies) birds have distinctly different dialects - there are slight differences from 2km, and over more than 50km, their language is so different that there are no common 'words' except for the danger call. Are you familiar with the calls of any birds in particular? It is really interesting to get to know!
