“AND flight.”
- Geese
Chickens can fly, they just choose violence each time they can.
Can confirm, I repeatedly got the shit kicked out of me by a really aggressive rooster when I was like 10
Begun, the Emu Wars have.
the first two are really "holding" their weapons à la veggie tales
Veggie tails holds weapons? That christen propaganda is a lot more hardcore than I remember.
Well Ok then.
That's fantastic. Now I will no longer feel any guilt whatsoever while rocking out to the cheeseburger song.
Fight or flight. Backwards, why?
Emu vs Australia
It's their continent, they are just letting us live on it for now
Chickens naturally fly. Not well or far, but they can get in a tree to roost if they want. That's why they get their wings clipped.
Farmers take that away from them, so all they have left is fight.
Imagine if someone came along and clipped all the fingers off your hand...
I think it's more like clipping some of your toes so you couldn't run too far.
More accurately toenails. Only the feather is cut, as far as I know.
I think both ways are done. Never felt the need to do either with mine though. They know when to come in for the night regardless.
Yup.
I also want to include turkeys even though they're not included in the image. Turkeys like running down hills, since they're perfect runways for takeoff. Then they land in lower-hanging sturdy branches.
It's quite cute.
turkeys straight up fly, they're not even semi flighted like chickens
You don't see kiwis here because they don't fight physically. Instead they'll ruin your life by trapping you in financial and legal problems.
Its funny how most people don't know chickens can really fly. A wild or yard bird roosts in the tops of trees.
Why Dodos never get a fair shake I'll never know.
Well, if dodos had a Glock they would not have been hunted to extinction now, wouldn't they ?
Truly, dinosaurs with guns ! Glocks to stave off the extinction of the species ! What a wonderful idea, I would have never thought of that, somehow I must have heard about it somewhere before, surely !
Crosspost this to c/linuxmemes !!
Some people argue that penguins "fly" under water since their movements resemble flying much more than the swimming of other swimming birds
And some people are serial killers
True. Most of them flightless for real fr
Wait, most? There are some penguins that can fly?
It was about the "some people are serial killers" and as I pointed out in my first comment, most penguins fly under water since there movement resemble flying much more than swimming
Damn, the 5 year old idiot in me was so excited there for a second before reason and reality killed his spirit yet again.
I'm glad I gave you 5 secs of pure joy. That's alot in an adult life
