i really enjoy seeing chickens fly, even if they can't go very far. well, i really enjoy chickens in general, even if they don't wear sweaters.

Great horned owls have always been my favorite, ever since I had an encounter with one when I was in third grade.

Also, yesterday a Buteo Magnirostris attacked the window for a while, but I couldn't film it.

I love modern depictions of dinosaurs, so much better than shrink wrapped scaly monstrosities.

This is my pet bird. He's either a eurasian or African collared dove. I saved (stole?) him from a trap house where he was recieveing sub standard care from sub humans. He is a good pet, hand tame and friendly.

>>2400348
good on you for giving him a better home :)
what's his name?

>>2399945
is that a bird though? like do we consider those birds or are they different enough from the time difference to be something else? i dont really think dinos are birds. i posted an elephant ostrich which went extinct in the 1800s

>>2400542
dinos are like birds great great great (...) grandparents

>>2400348

Hey /an/. I don't know anything about animals but I was wondering if anybody could recognize this bird? This guy landed near my window and stood around for a minute before flying away. Picture taken just yesterday in Orlando, Florida.
The window is one sided so don't worry we didn't bother it. Sorry for shit quality pic.

The object appears to be vaguely bird-shaped, but beyond that it is hard to tell.

It looks like some sort of raptor. I found pic related by searching for Florida Raptor on google.
