Great tits make me brainless too
Pack it up, folks. We already have the best comment...
I gave it its 69^th^ upvote. Nice.
Found the dad in the comments 👨
Even unremarkable tits are known to have this effect on me

Unfortunately, great tits are always eating at my brains.
Apparently horses sometimes eat small birds. They shouldn't but it seems it can happen if they are hungry, or bored and/or curious.
A family member had a mule that had to be kept away from the chickens, as the animal would gobble up any chick within reach.
It wasn't casual, it wasn't out of hunger.
The vet was horrified when he saw it happen, even after being warned.
🎶 I ate a chick and i liked it 🎶
I hope my farmers don't mind it

And cows sometimes eat frogs 🤷🏻
Imagine being bored and just like "oops I ate this living thing that was screeching trying to escape"
Well, i usually open the fridge out of boredom and casually give a bite to a dead chicken that is stored there.... sometimes i just take a slice of a monolith of emulsionated pigs.

Fool of me, I searched "Great Tits" to learn more about this bird and, well... Don't do it.
I want a review of great tits for wendsday, first hour.
Birds never stopped being dinosaurs 🤷
Anyone who has owned chickens knows this for a fact. They're fucking brutal.
And if you give them a fake tail they walk like dinosaurs.

Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eating a sparrow and reading a non fiction book where a fox steals sugar beets from a farmer because it got addicted to sugar. It's nature. Rules are made to be broken in nature. That all I know.
Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eating a sparrow and reading a non fiction book
I liked it more when I thought the sentence stopped here.
Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD
I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image

I just had a vision of a deer sitting at a table in a French bistro, about to take a bite out of a sparrow impaled on a fork in one hoof and a Haynes manual for a Triumph Stag in the other. Made me laugh.

Just let me slap you in the face with my boobs bro, it's just really cold bro, it's just until your skull cracks open and i can eat your brains bro, please bro, they're great tits bro, it's science bro
~~crested~~ tufted titmouse;
Tufted titmouse would be my guess.
this one has a sunflower seed. angle makes it hard to see 'tuft', but is probably same;
Nice, and I see a black-capped chickadee too.
started another community. pinned post has link to my trailcam pics album. thousands to scroll through from just this winter. i'm not a birder, just love to see them. ;; https://midwest.social/c/bird
I love watching birds. We have a bird feeder outside kitchen window and see all kinds of birds show up there.
Why is every bird better looking than most humans... They really are.
Just this guy in your picture, stunning.

As it turns out, many "herbivores" just need to eat and will fill in with your flesh given the chance and they're hungry enough
Great Tits aren't herbivores, they mainly eat lots of insects. The description in the comic is pretty misleading.

I've seen chickens do this to other chickens. It's normal for them to peck at each other a bit, but if they see blood, they go crazy. They also eat eggs sometimes. Chickens, though
Chickens actively hunt and eat mice, as well. I've actually seen one of my chickens find, slam around until dead (I fucking hope it was dead anyway), and swallow whole a mouse.
Brutal little creatures. They would 100% kill and eat you if they were big enough/ you were small enough.
Humans are a very fortunate size, aren’t we? A little bigger, and we’d be extinct like most megafauna. A little smaller, and our place on the food chain would be very different.
You know the reason why most of the recent megafauna went extinct? (Mammoths, big birds, giant sloth, saber toothed cat, ...)

You know that we are megafauna. And the extinct megafauna had the misfortune to be either good eating for H. Sapiens, or were too dangerous to us to let live

My honest reaction every time I see something like this. For what it's worth, the small mammals were pipistrelle bats, and other flesh and organs were missing. I don't think they've ever been reported to eat rodents.
Mostly doing a lot of heavy lifting here 💀
Eat their brain, gain their knowledge.
Great Tits man
