A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Man that bird was living a straight up nightmare.
And from the comments I saw it gets worse for this bird - apparently after the bird flew off, the scientist who captured this call played it back to check they had recorded it properly, only for the bird to come back and start calling again.
These scientists accidentally played the cruelest prank imaginable on this poor bird, and it was likely not smart enough to ever realise it.
Like imagine living years of your life desperately calling out to someone, anyone, and you finally hear someone - you desperately rush over, but there's there's nobody there. You're sure you heard someone, but there's nothing, except you.
That's like the time researchers were monitoring elephants after a member died.
Animals grieve over the lost connections just like we do.
How do you not break down and weep after having done such a thing?
Second worst nightmare unlocked. Imma go cry now.
You just basically summarized the experience of people deconverting from fundamentalist Christianity.
Plot twist, he killed them all and was just coming back to make sure he finished the job.
This could be a great short film, with the footage and story at the end, Twilight Zone style.
