Nothing to see here. Just a pine cone.
(lemmy.world)
It's pining for the fjords.
Cute.
I was out in the woods this spring and walked into a brand new family of grouse. Momma was hissing (yeah I didn't know they did that either) at me and I took a step and the forest floor burst into tiny brown pingpong ball panic. They were cheeping and fleeing frantically, some would step on a dried curled leaf and that would see-saw them tumbling away. My hear melted they were so cute, it took all my willpower not to scoop one up to hold it.
From their perspective of course I was a terrifying Godzilla come to end their whole family and world. So it probably wasn't a great day for them. But it was a highlight of the year for me.
"No, Jerry, it's just a regular, ordinary pinecone. You know how much you love munching on pine cones!"
"But last time you lied and gave me a bird instead"
"Does this look like a bird to you?"
"No. I guess you're right. Give it here" bites "feathers? GODDAMMIT LUCY, I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS A BIRD!"
maniacal laughter

This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort!

This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.
