      This is not as absurd as it seems: Sequential hermaphroditism is the term

      I have yet to see this myself and I have a BUNCH of cardinals and Blue Jays.

      The only dark horror I witnessed was when a murder of crows came into the neighborhood and used my bird bath for their dark rituals for 2 weeks.

      Maybe I didn’t see this kind of cardinal because they didn’t complete the rites to summon it?

    Banging his face repeatedly on windows, car mirrors, and anything else remotely shiny at 6 am while I’m trying to sleep, maybe?

  Honestly shocking that we didn’t discover that birds \subseteq dinosaurs until recently

    It’s not that shocking given that all birds have feathers, and almost no dinosaur fossils had feathers until fairly recently (and they’re still rare as I understand it).

    The connection was made in the 19th century, it just didn’t become mainstream until the 60s.

    And pet peeve: “birds are dinosaurs” is only true cladistically speaking, but ordinary English is not cladistic. There is such a thing as a fish and anyone who says there isn’t can fuck off.

      Honestly I’m of the opinion that “fish” should only refer to bony fish anyway; sharks should be their own thing. But also yeah, let people live lmao

      Of course there are fishes you’re one of them. A lungfish to be precise.

  Ngl, the first time my hen molted, I was verklempt. She didn’t get that bad, as she tends to st it in waves rather than all at once, but I was anxious as fuck all wondering if it was molting or some kind of disease
