One seriously pissed off Magpie



And watch your back!

During a rally in Portland, Bernie Sanders was met by a tiny bird.  When he started talking about the bird in terms of metaphor, he came right up to the podium to greet him.  If you're wondering if this became a meme, of course it did, with it's own hashtag #birdiesanders.

The real question is, is Birdie Sanders a new surprise candidate for president crashing Bernie's rally or simply the future VP? 

As for presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders' new Disney princess status, it looks like someone called that long ago. Because there's a Disney princess version of everything out there.

This puffed and fluffed out miniature ball of love shares his birthday with Elvis Presley and David Bowie; with 'The King' nickname already taken by another penguin, they decided to roll with 'Bowie.'

The Cincinnati Zoo currently has 33 little penguins, and is credited as being home to the country's biggest colony of penguins, according to the zoo's bird keeper Jennifer Gainer.

In Montreal on Sunday a traffic cam caught a resplendent snowy owl amidst an otherwise mundane winter commute.

But really, it looks like Hedwig's busy as ever.

Pizza rat, milkshake squirrel and bagel pigeon walk into a bar...

And have one heck of a feast.

Redditor connierubirosa is following in the footsteps of the many recent food/animal combinations of New York City and captured this very stoic pigeon wearing a bagel on camera.

So, let's recap.

Pizza Rat

Milkshake Squirrel

And now...Bagel Pigeon

God Bless New York City.

Good thing these bird aren’t the Alfred Hitchcock type.

A guy in Texas came home after running some errands to find a huge flock of birds had infiltrated his home. He captured the chaos in two separate videos (part 1 is above and part 2 is embedded below).

“There are birds everywhere,” he says. “This is fucked up.”

There were upwards of 25 of the animals fluttering around, which he assumes were swallows.

He described the bizarre incident in a post on Reddit:

I opened the front door and heard what sounded like wings… I kind of flipped sh*t. Long story short We got them all out safely. There was a lot of cleanup involved, but all of the birds are fine. We think they got in through the chimney since last summer we thought we could hear birds chirping.

So it’s probably not an evil curse or omen, but he if he comes home to find plague of locusts in the next few days, it might be time to call a priest.

Big Bird's not the only one that can play games.

This little pet bird is just chilling out on his owner's shoulder pecking away, but he freezes up whenever the boy turns his head.

And then at the end he's all like: "Why’d you stop?"

What a seducer...
