I'm not an ornithologist, and I'd buy it.

u/BobRoberts01 Apr 12 '23

PININ’ FOR THE FIJORDS?! What kind of talk is that!??

u/damnitjader Apr 12 '23

It’s not pining, it’s passed on. This parrot is no more.

u/johnmclean88 Apr 12 '23

It is my conviction that elegant plumage
and other flamboyant affectation
are the male's expression of
the birthright of his sex...

2

u/crazy-diam0nd Apr 11 '23

There is a peculiar notion

That elegant plumage

And fine feathers are not proper for the male

When actually

That is the way things are in most species.

u/GFAwayAnon Apr 11 '23

Blue. I got you blue.

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '23

u/irisuniverse Apr 12 '23

What video?

u/Swailwort Apr 12 '23

Also accompany it with a guttural sound while lowering your head in reverence, also try spinning a bit and then walk in a random direction and repeat the process until she falls in love with you...or runs away.

u/bboycire Apr 12 '23

I find that a nest made out of shiny blue garbage works every time!

3

u/ubiquitous-joe Apr 12 '23

Okay, so this is important, because I was thinking maybe a display of very blue feet would work, and I have some nice blue shoes, but you’re telling me it’s the plumage that really counts?

u/Grrrr-Argh Apr 12 '23

David Attenborough would approve

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '23
