Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.
Her and Ben Franklin.
Turkey This guy was hanging out on my patio for a while a few weeks ago
Nice picture.
FYI that is almost certainly a hen.
Yes it is a hen. It was a generic guy... Sorry ladies
Lol, great picture either way.
This gave me flashbacks of being chased by an angry turkey when I was in elementary school.
Amazing how fast they are.
That's how I feel about geese.
What a beautiful country.
Where are you? I wish we got turkeys in my cul-de-sac!
No you don't. They block traffic, scratch cars, damage houses, and make an ungodly mess. We have gangs of them roving Eugene, Oregon.
Southern New England suburbs. They really are something to see
That ain't no jive turkey.
Hey, you know what they say, see a hen to get that booty action...
A nice turkey here.
Awe man! I sure envy you living where turkeys live. We dove 5.5 hours each way to hunt turkeys this spring. They're beautiful and majestic birds, with absolutely amazing senses of sight and hearing. They seem clumsy, but they can vanish into the woods without ever appearing to hurry. They can fly 50 mph when they want to (which isn't often). The only reason we can hunt them successfully at all is because they don't have a good sense of smell. If turkeys could smell as well as deer, then nobody would ever have a successful hunt. They're sneaky ninja birds that can hide in plain sight, despite being the size of two basketballs stacked on top of each other, and weighing 30 pounds. Anyways, great shot, of a great bird!
