Today's gif bird has plenty of pride in the shade of green. Learn more about green broadbills here: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/little-green-bather

Soooooo pretty! Too bad people don't come in all the lovely colors that we find on birds. Although, I suppose some group would start the "green people are better than pink people," and we'd end up the same way.

What color are they when they're ripe?

Birds can be a real pain in the ass to ID. The males can look completely different than the females, and the juveniles can look completely different than the adults.

Adorable spherical green bird breaks the rule of never eating anything bigger than your head.

It's not right when you post shiny pokemons. They're not even real.

He can eat things as big as his head!!! If that's not a pokemon skill, then I don't know what to say.

They just unhinge their jaw, like a snek would.

Martini Glambassador's avatar

You aren't far off, although I did take the time to skim a scientific article where somebody researched the green broadbill's jaw mechanism. The hinges on it's jaw are positioned far apart, which allows it the extreme opening in its range of motion. It's really sort of amazing, the evolutionary adaptations that enable animals to thrive in their various environments and do stuff like swallow giant pitted fruits whole.

My defamation lawsuit claiming MS NOW lied when they said that I am only dating Kash Patel to get exposure is raising a lot of questions already answered by my defamation lawsuit.

Masturbation among birds is ‘natural’ and should not be punished, say experts

“Masturbation among birds is ‘natural’ and should not be punished…”

Thousands of Catholic bird owners would vehemently disagree about both.

'Trump Administration to Dismantle Ocean Monitoring System'

"The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean observation system that was put in place a decade ago to monitor coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global climate.

Scientists have used data from the system to understand how the ocean is absorbing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, how changes in ocean temperature such as marine heat waves might affect fisheries or signal bigger shifts in the climate, and coastal flooding along the East Coast."

Hops: grrrr mad's avatar

"Michael England, a spokesman for the National Science Foundation, said the decision to dismantle the network, known as the Ocean Observatories Initiative, “aligns with N.S.F.’s wider strategy to have a nimbler approach to prioritizing support for evolving scientific priorities and emerging technologies as well as a deliberate approach to smart life cycle management within its portfolio of research infrastructure.”

Gobbledygook bullshit.

“This reflects the further lack of understanding that the current administration has of scientific value and scientific merit,” Dr. McLean said. “By dismantling such a system, we push the United States back yet again into a rear seat in global scientific leadership.”

This is all a fucking nightmare. Idiots and criminals.

While we know the right will be universally offended, certain segments of the “left” aren’t going to be happy about the Mamdani news either:

“NOOOOOO! Zorhan! You were supposed to our class hero! Now you’re scaring away duuuuuh workin’ class with all your queer, woke shit! THE ONLY STRUGGLE IS CLASS STRUGGLE!”

It’s kind of weird how all these chubby schlubs keep accusing other people of the things they are clearly doing themselves.

It’s Kristi Noem’s husband all the way down.
