Mostly doing a lot of heavy lifting here 💀

Unfortunately, great tits are always eating at my brains.

crested titmouse, i think;

I love watching birds. We have a bird feeder outside kitchen window and see all kinds of birds show up there.

Why is every bird better looking than most humans... They really are.

Just this guy in your picture, stunning.

been collecting that camera about a year now. disregard dates, scroll photos; https://photos.app.goo.gl/ALp76oVMb356twLn6

Vegans doesnt like this.

I prefer small tits

Me too.

Birds never stopped being dinosaurs 🤷

Anyone who has owned chickens knows this for a fact. They're fucking brutal.

And if you give them a fake tail they walk like dinosaurs.

Eat their brain, gain their knowledge.

Great Tits man

I've seen chickens do this to other chickens. It's normal for them to peck at each other a bit, but if they see blood, they go crazy. They also eat eggs sometimes. Chickens, though

Chickens actively hunt and eat mice, as well. I've actually seen one of my chickens find, slam around until dead (I fucking hope it was dead anyway), and swallow whole a mouse.

Brutal little creatures. They would 100% kill and eat you if they were big enough/ you were small enough.

Humans are a very fortunate size, aren’t we? A little bigger, and we’d be extinct like most megafauna. A little smaller, and our place on the food chain would be very different.

You know the reason why most of the recent megafauna went extinct? (Mammoths, big birds, giant sloth, saber toothed cat, ...)

Their feet got too big for their boots?

They got too big for their britches?

Dinosaurs, ey?

(Quick edit: As I am not close enough to biology this statement may be incorrect as chickens may not technically belong to the category [whichever level and correct name it may be/have] of dinosaur. In this case I am sorry for perpetrating this misinformation)

Avian dinosaurs certainly existed, it isn't inaccurate to just call them dinosaurs.

Chickens typically eat eggs when they have a vitamin deficiency, although that's why typically obligate herbivores will sometimes eat baby birds and small rodents.

I agree. It's a struggle based on food availability. The bigger fowl, keep them away from their food, and the smaller fowl, eat their eggs.

Honestly, we incubated too many eggs with too small of an enclosure. They're getting better, also winner winner chicken dinner

Clever girl.

Brains…

"We are a great tit!"

Just like me!

Yeah, but what a way to go!

... would not have expected such a dick move from a great tit.

Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eating a sparrow and reading a non fiction book where a fox steals sugar beets from a farmer because it got addicted to sugar. It's nature. Rules are made to be broken in nature. That all I know.

Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eating a sparrow and reading a non fiction book

I liked it more when I thought the sentence stopped here.

Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD

I just had a vision of a deer sitting at a table in a French bistro, about to take a bite out of a sparrow impaled on a fork in one hoof and a Haynes manual for a Triumph Stag in the other. Made me laugh.

Stop bullying me for my shitty English skills 😆

Your shitty English is infinitely better than my (I'm guessing) shitty Danish.

You are guessing correctly. And tbf, Danish is barely a language. Anyone who attempts to learn Danish is a war hero.

We do make funny comedies, even though foreigners seem to be disturbed by our sense of humor.

Our humor is much like our language: ugly, brutal and thriving in the destruction of rules that are supposed to be upheld in polite society.

I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image

Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.

You nailed it here! :)

Commas basically go where you want to separate two thoughts in a sentence or "take a breath" without the full stop of a period. They also often separate objects in lists

::: spoiler (Example) ("Yesterday I saw a deer, a sparrow, and a nonfiction book.") :::, or signify that you're talking to somebody.

A classic joke:

"Let's eat grandma!" vs. "Let's eat, grandma!"

"Commas save lives!"

😂 Hope that helps a bit! You're doing great though, don't worry. :)

At the very least, the only thing that got eaten was a bird. Sadly, deer are still illiterate 😢

Thanks for the comma-assistance, btw. 🤗

LOL! 😂

Sure thing! 🤗

language is mostly what we make of it anyways :-)

Yeah, I see how I screwed up in my wording. :')

The deer thing super reminds me of The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by Margaret Killjoy.

Haven't heard of that book, but I'll check it out.

In the meantime, the video in question for those of you who are curious.

It's so fun! Short synopsis: anarcho squatter punks deal with ancient deer god.

That does indeed sound like a ton of fun. It goes on my tbr list. Thank you for the recommendation!

Great tits make me brainless too

Found the dad in the comments 👨

Guilty

I dunno man, I think your joke was quite innocent, actually.

I am yet to see an offensive dad joke though

My boyfriend went through a period in our 20s where he became a dad-joke-demon. He was a massive hit with my friends, while I considered it a domestic violence situation.

Every other day he would walk into the room with a smile on his face and I just knew. I just knew that now came the newest onslaught. One dad joke after the other until I was begging for mercy on the floor and then he had the nerve to ask me which ones to go use on the kids at work the next day. He was a hit with them too. Had dad-joke Fridays with them for years. Pure, unfiltered evil.

I still have life long trauma from the first time him, my brother in law and my dad were in a room together and one of them, probably my boyfriend, started making dad jokes and then they took turns delivering their best ones and laughing because they were sooooooo funny. When people speak about the "evil of man" this is it.

😜

Pack it up, folks. We already have the best comment...

I gave it its 69^th^ upvote. Nice.

As it turns out, many "herbivores" just need to eat and will fill in with your flesh given the chance and they're hungry enough

Great Tits aren't herbivores, they mainly eat lots of insects. The description in the comic is pretty misleading.

Nerd.

I don't know about all herbivores, but a deer will eat every little baby it finds if it discovers a nest.

I don't think it matters what kind of baby, they are all delicious

Apparently horses sometimes eat small birds. They shouldn't but it seems it can happen if they are hungry, or bored and/or curious.

Imagine being bored and just like "oops I ate this living thing that was screeching trying to escape"

A family member had a mule that had to be kept away from the chickens, as the animal would gobble up any chick within reach.

It wasn't casual, it wasn't out of hunger.

The vet was horrified when he saw it happen, even after being warned.

🎶 I ate a chick and i liked it 🎶

I hope my farmers don't mind it

It's an easy source of nutrition. Why wouldn't you gobble up some chicks?

Exactly.

I once read an article where a biologist stated that herbivores should be instead considered oportunistic carnivores.

Oportunistic carnivores? Too lazy to hunt prey you mean.

And cows sometimes eat frogs 🤷🏻

Just let me slap you in the face with my boobs bro, it's just really cold bro, it's just until your skull cracks open and i can eat your brains bro, please bro, they're great tits bro, it's science bro

I wonder if they sometimes get prion disease from that. 

Maybe their lifespan is so short it won't matter. 

Possible but rare

..and by "harsh" they mean "typical"

Here, in the North, as snow covers the ground we make sacrificial fat ball offerings to the beast, you know, just in case. Brain is mostly fat tissue.

The definition of “small mammals” is too vague, because compared to a blue whale, I am fairly small. That’s why I feed those critters.

Raptors being raptors

My honest reaction every time I see something like this. For what it's worth, the small mammals were pipistrelle bats, and other flesh and organs were missing. I don't think they've ever been reported to eat rodents.

There needs to be a Fallout Raider faction called Great Tits and their signature meal is cracked skull brain omelette.

Terror Tits

What you want to do is go to a search engine, and do an image search for mind blowing great tits. You'll probably have to turn the content filter off because the image may be gory. Then, just go to the page associated with the most relevant image.

Don't forget to share with the class!

It's a video. I'll see if I can get it to auto play here:
