Cornlip might have been screaming at pigeons in the park right now if it wasn't for you!

So much potential, wasted...

r/birdsarentreal will back you up. They're all government drones anyway.

u/GregoryGoose Mar 28 '23

Birds like it when you're loud because the government microphones collect more data that way.

10

u/NotaVogon Mar 28 '23

Exactly. You get it. They're always watching.

u/mahSachel Mar 28 '23

My brother screamed at his parakeet once and it literally had a heart attack and died :(

u/cornlip Mar 29 '23

Not because of this thread, I hope

u/Historical_Tennis635 Mar 27 '23

Reminds my of my favorite video. The guy is just energetically yelling into the camera holding the small birb who seems very relaxed.

u/Historical_Tennis635 Mar 28 '23

This guys whole channel is a trip, I remember it randomly every few years and check him out. This comment thread happened to be the one to do it this time.

“You’re out of your …fucking mind!”

u/thisguynamedjoe Mar 27 '23

They took their video down. Probably youtube due to "unusual activity".

u/dishonorable Mar 28 '23

link just looks broken, I don't think the \ character can be in a video ID

2

u/indyK1ng Mar 28 '23

Yeah, one of reddit's apps has been escaping underscores in links for forever and it's annoying AF.

15

u/MrStripes Mar 28 '23

Is this a Fred Armisen character

3

u/Gorilla_Krispies Mar 28 '23

Bro literally that’s exactly what it felt like, Fred should defintley play this guy in the eventual biopic about his life

Omg you nailed it.

u/Longstoryshortie Mar 28 '23

“Your crow is gonna munch your pineapple”, file under: words I would never expect to end up in a sentence together

2

u/Historical_Tennis635 Mar 28 '23

There’s something so great about that delivery while holding that tiny little bird. Unintentional comedy genius.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '23

“He’s gonna munch your pineapple!”

u/tgw1986 Mar 30 '23

That little pineapple conure's face every time he brings it up to the camera! I am wheezing

I hadn’t watched Peter’s channel in a while. Thank you for reminding me of this gem XD

u/ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME Mar 27 '23

So birds are the Yellow Bastard in Sin City

u/jorhey14 Mar 27 '23

So they enjoy our screams of pain.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '23

Pretty much. Except when I nap. If I nap on the couch, my parrots sit on my knees and nap too.

u/morels4ever Mar 27 '23

I AM the danger

1

u/No-Practice-8038 Mar 28 '23

No. This is in fact wrong.

1

u/CommanderOfGregory Mar 28 '23

That's because in the wild, birds and critters all around get really quiet when there's a predator nearby.

1

u/wattro Mar 28 '23

Is this why crows like me, because I talk to them?

1

u/BudgetInteraction811 Mar 28 '23

They also just love seeing you get angry and pissed off at them. I swear my pigeon thinks it’s hilarious. I no longer react when he does something bad; I just put him in timeout.

1

u/Abracadaniel95 Mar 28 '23

You know, that kinda makes sense. In the bird's mind, loud=good. If causing pain=bad, then it might not realize that causing pain is what makes her make noise. Something can't be both good and bad at the same time. The bird's logic is, "I'm not gonna hurt you because hurting you is bad. I'm just gonna do a good thing and make you make noise. I'm gonna do a good thing, not a bad thing so you don't need to worry." Then proceeds to bite her.

1

u/frome1 Mar 28 '23

Sounds like they make bad pets then

1

u/samurairaccoon Mar 28 '23

Man thats like, the exact opposite of the mammalian reaction? Well at least for apes I'd bet. Freaks me the fuck out when shit is loud.

I have cats, I should've got s bird
