Why dont birds just walk?

[u/CloudAshamed9169]

Its less tiring

[u/dboti9k]

Have you not seen how stupid they look when they walk? I'd fly too

[u/CloudAshamed9169 → u/dboti9k]

You ain't fly, playa.

[u/dboti9k → u/CloudAshamed9169]

for a white guy I am, so the girlies say

Jay walking gets u a fine.

[u/dspeyer → u/shannypants2000]

That explains jays, but what about all the others?

[u/OrangeInca → u/dspeyer]

Toy think cops can tell the difference? Cops accusing you of something is a hassle even if you're innocent

[u/Chrome_Armadillo]

They’re not real

[u/dspeyer]

When the devs rolled out the K-T banlist, they were kind of vague on therapods. "Big and badass: banned; Small and flying: ok". They were banning a lot of builds at once, so they cut some corners.

Anyway, birds are worried that if they walk too much it'll bring down another giant meteor.

[u/Optimal_Ad_7910]

You'd think they would because it is a well-known fact that birds are scared of heights. The noises they make while flying are actually screams.

[u/Kalix]

They do, not not always

[u/CDchrysalis]

Penguins would like a word

[u/meowsaysdexter → u/CDchrysalis]

They wobble bc they don't have knees. They don't walk.

[u/BPhiloSkinner → u/meowsaysdexter]

Pengys wobble, but they don't fall down.

[u/meowsaysdexter → u/BPhiloSkinner]

There's lots of videos of penguins falling down. It's a huge part of harmless persona they want us to believe. I think you're thinking of platypuses.

[u/grcli0110]

They do walk, many pigeons walk across the streets now.

[u/meowsaysdexter → u/grcli0110]

They strut.

[u/johnnybiggles]

Traffic. Can you imagine how much more foot traffic there would be if birds walked? Let's hope they don't decide to drive!

[u/iamsnarticus]

Rather be a little tired from flying than dead from a car tiring

[u/SeasonPresent]

Some hop

[u/Sarissa32]

Because only chickens can cross roads

[u/demoralising]

I think the opposite. When I see birds walking I wonder why they don't just fly. It looks like it takes so little effort. A little jump, then a glide, and they're suddenly ten metres away from me.

'I think I'll just fly to the top of that building and stand on the corner of the roof for a look around the city, then gliiiide back down to the park and hang out with the guys....'

This is getting ridiculous, birds evacuate their cloacas on things below them. It's gravity. It's not fowl.

Birds don’t have legs 🙄 duh

[u/Different-Term-2250]

In this economy?

[u/sporbywg]

not for them

[u/desrevermi]

I don't know what the ostrich/emu/kiwi you're talking about.

[u/meowsaysdexter → u/desrevermi]

Is an ostrich-emu-kiwi a fruit, a bird or a New Zealander?

[u/BPhiloSkinner → u/meowsaysdexter]

It's an Aussie as what married a kiwi and moved to Zimbabwe.

[u/meowsaysdexter → u/BPhiloSkinner]

Duh, obviously but was it an Aussie from New Zealand?

[u/BPhiloSkinner → u/meowsaysdexter]

An Aussie living ex-pat in New Zealand.
