I am yes, thank you. Now gimme a couple of your children please... yum.
Holy shit WE CAUSED THE GEK?!
Wait how does that work? Why does the egg not just.. roll over?
Searched it up cause I was curious too. It's the white tern, and according to Wikipedia, the egg does roll off frequently. The bird simply doesn't care and lays another egg
The epitome of zero fucks give.
The time they used to build a nest could be used to lay more egg.
This makes the meme even better.
What about hatchlings? Do they fall of the tree?
Yes, Wikipedia mentioned that they fall too. The article mentions that the hatchlings have wide feet to help lessen the chances that they fall
Baby bird: I had to evolve and adapt because my parents don't care about me.
Parents bird: Lol, STFU duck-feet loser
Based bird
As long as more eggs are hatched than fall, it works.
Though, “your parents dropped you as an egg” jokes seem… appropriate,
I think it's as long as more eggs hatch than birds die, it works.
Eh, now we’re getting into when is it a bird…
(Sorry, sorry.)
But as long as you have one or two eggs hatching, it doesn’t matter if a couple dozen fall.
Or more.
Can't you see it's the galaxy brain option meaning it's got zero problems??
I guess their intelligence has it's own gravity that stops the egg from rolling over
True it's entirely a skill issue
“If it’s stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid.” - that bird.
“You learned that from your parents, didn’t you?”- weaver birds.
huh, and every time i give my bird an egg, he eats it
YOLK FOR THE YOLK GOD, ALBUMEN FOR THE ALBUMEN THRONE.
Damn, your bird is hardcore. Tell him I say hi!
