They also eat worms and expell waste at will.

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

They also don’t know what the internet is and sing all day

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Don't birds spend a lot of time preening every day though?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Poor finchys face after spending all that time grooming ...

~~She~~ He was born with it.

Edit: I regret the error.

I think that's a male Rosefinch. Seems female Rosefinches are grey in color: https://ebird.org/species/comros

Maybe it's Maybelline?

[–] dovahking@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's quite peculiar that in the animal kingdom, most of the time, it is the male that's beautiful.

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Particularly true with birds

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world -1 points 22 hours ago

Well, that's more true with birds. They're just FABULOUS.

I the meantime male mammals are all hunky body-builders.

All animals are much better looking than people. Just accept defeat. :) We are pink apes.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Actually about half of all animals are ugly af, but we just don't post the ones that aren't beautiful, same with people.

I don't know exactly what species that is, but it must be in the family of the stabilus difusius

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 22 hours ago

Yeah hippo mixed with pitbull maybe?

I think the wackos who want to own dangerous dogs try and whitewash them by calling them velvet hippos, but I might have the name wrong.

[–] Hackworth@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I think it was Perplexity. Moved to using Flux since that cuddly monstrosity.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is the cutest dog-rhino I’ve ever seen.

What a cutie!

[–] 1984 5 points 1 day ago

I think that's cute, I don't know about you guys... :)

[–] Graphy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I think I saw that kid working at the movie theater

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 2 points 1 day ago

Dont gotta tell me twice

[–] callyral@pawb.social 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Humans want to sing like a bird and look like a bird and humans are birds

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Seems we've run into the "want to be != are" fallacy.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Limited edition valentine's day/blossom tree day birds

[–] aaaaace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Try living outside and migrating.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They're all in survival mode too. Imagine if they had their equivalent to a balanced diet, low stress, targeted exercise, and science dedicated to bringing out their all.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

Most animals are already living their best lives. We're just the freaks who don't like to do what we actually do.

No no no no no. These guys don't get a glow-up, they're already too damn pretty

[–] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 0 points 22 hours ago

The rose finch will always be prettier because it isn’t smeared with bullshit and patriarchy to try and look different.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Joke's on her, I'm colorblind.
