UFO sightings

every bird is a UFO if you're bad at birding.


I know this meme isn't very professionally done, but I hope you get the idea. If somebody can make this more appleasing to view, feel free to make your own meme like this.

Colorful parrot bird is a rainbow lorikeet if anyone is curious.

A long time ago one of these guys found their way into my house. I'm not a bird person so I had no idea what this was either. I thought it was some sort of parakeet, it loved fruits and climbing on people but it had no interest in seeds or biscuits, which I found strange.

I brought it to the nearest pet shop on my shoulder to get it ID'ed and it stayed on my shoulder the whole time till we got back home. I adopted it and we had many good years. I still miss the colorful parrot bird sometimes.

Lories are wonderful and playful birds. Sounds like the little lost guy found a great home with you. 😊

They are certainly very affectionate birds and great fun to have around.

My only word of warning to a potential first time owner is that they are messy eaters and even messier shitters. They are also noisy AF. I loved their tunes but I'm pretty sure I pissed off the neighbor with their screeching.

well they do once when you push them down a cliff.

That's not flying, it's falling (and based on the shape of many flightless birds, rather likely without style)

Unidentified Flying Object... Unidentified Falling Object... The acronym still applies

Funny enough, that's what I do for a living. I am one of the technicians that services birds.
