He ain’t have to do that
Emerald Toucanet, Aulacorhynchus prasinus
Today, on “Birds That Are Hard To Photograph Bc They Keep Biting Me”, is a teensy-tiny powerhouse of fury: the emerald toucanet! These beautiful birds are mostly frugivorous, but they’re also notorious net poachers. It didn’t happen this year, but apparently toucanets have been captured in the past with half-devoured hummingbirds in their bills. YIKES.

I love how so much of the animal kingdom is just… completely befuddled by human hands. have no natural defenses against getting FUCKING SNATCHED.
it’s pretty great.
New England keepers going to work this week like…
Magical encounter while free falling.
Can you imagine being that bird? You see a big falling dot off in the distance, so you go to investigate. And it’s a human. Just, like, hanging out, in the middle of the sky. Plumbing toward earth at terminal velocity.
“Huh, that’s weird” you think to yourself.
You land on them. They seem nonplussed by their predicament.
But you’re a busy bird, you’ve got places to be. So you just fly off. Good luck, crazy human. Hope you make it.
@why-animals-do-the-thing Is it just me, or does this bird actually look curious? I’m guessing it’s never sat on a perch that high up and/or is unused to seeing humans just floating around.

The lyrebird from Australia can mimic virtually any sound that it hears, including children’s toys,chainsaws…. Crazy Amazing!
Have a good day everyone!

This bird has 3 mods. Bird, monkey, raygun
The “monkey” sound is actually it mimicking the call of the laughing kookaburra, which is a bird.
What kills me is a couple of times after it does the camera shutter noise, it murmurs in what is clearly an imitation of a human speaking quietly.
This is amazing and terrifying all at once.
She’s so talented
umm m m. @elodieunderglass
So I know where it heard the camera/cameraperson, and I know where it heard the kookaburra, but where did it hear a laser gun and R2-D2? Tiny child Star Wars fans who brought toys to a zoo?
