CT 192: Chat Rules Everything Around Me

My favorite post of 2016 is when there was some discussion of birds on some thread and the poster known as "birdman" made a long-ass educational post about birds and it was like, damn, this guy really is not kidding when he calls himself birdman.

haha yes, so true

Here it is:

I've been over this before. There are plenty of things that look, sound, walk and fly like ducks but are not actually ducks: Coots, Loons, Cormorant, Grebes, etc. However, you are correct that none of them could be mistaken for an eagle...in fact, little known fact, Bald eagles kill and eat quite a few ducks, coots and grebes in the winter when fish are harder to come by. Personally, I'd say that Trump is much closer to a loon or a coot than a duck. But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Oh, here's another classic birdman post. I love this guy.

Two important things to note:
1) all avian testicles are contained within the main body cavity, no hanging, trailing scrotums to be seen. Actually most bird don't even have external penises...ducks being one of the few exceptions.

2) all duck sex (all bird sex for that matter) is anal sex. They have only one posterior opening called a cloaca, where poop and eggs come out and sperm goes in. So, I am not sure it would really count as "getting freaky" from a ducks stand point since they have no other options.

Chic is the ivory tower establishment bird enthusiast while birdman is the man of the people! Feel the bird(man)!

Quite a kerfuffle about two Boy Scout Camp staffers who took an injured young bald eagle to a bird rescue place. They were fired for their trouble. The article is in the Washington Post July 12 here:

Now that I know that Pokemon Go is a plot by Google to see what the inside of our buildings look like, it doesn't seem as fun

Yeah, the game it is based on was developed to help Google improve its walking directions.

Let's hear your pros with Canada geese?

Also, if I hadn't seen a mockingbird chase a squirrel around the yard, I'd be fine with those exiting too.

They fucking fly, man.
