They also eat worms and expell waste at will.

[-] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They also don’t know what the internet is and sing all day

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Don't birds spend a lot of time preening every day though?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Poor finchys face after spending all that time grooming ...

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 45 points 2 days ago

All animals are much better looking than people. Just accept defeat. :) We are pink apes.

[-] burgersc12@mander.xyz 50 points 2 days ago

Actually about half of all animals are ugly af, but we just don't post the ones that aren't beautiful, same with people.

I don't know exactly what species that is, but it must be in the family of the stabilus difusius

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah hippo mixed with pitbull maybe?

I think the wackos who want to own dangerous dogs try and whitewash them by calling them velvet hippos, but I might have the name wrong.

[-] Hackworth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I think it was Perplexity. Moved to using Flux since that cuddly monstrosity.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

That is the cutest dog-rhino I’ve ever seen.

What a cutie!

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

I think that's cute, I don't know about you guys... :)

[-] Graphy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I think I saw that kid working at the movie theater

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 2 points 2 days ago

~~She~~ He was born with it.

Edit: I regret the error.

[-] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago

I think that's a male Rosefinch. Seems female Rosefinches are grey in color: https://ebird.org/species/comros

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 1 day ago

Maybe it's Maybelline?

[-] dovahking@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's quite peculiar that in the animal kingdom, most of the time, it is the male that's beautiful.

Particularly true with birds

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

Well, that's more true with birds. They're just FABULOUS.

I the meantime male mammals are all hunky body-builders.

[-] callyral@pawb.social 15 points 1 day ago

Humans want to sing like a bird and look like a bird and humans are birds

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Seems we've run into the "want to be != are" fallacy.

[-] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Limited edition valentine's day/blossom tree day birds

[-] aaaaace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Try living outside and migrating.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They're all in survival mode too. Imagine if they had their equivalent to a balanced diet, low stress, targeted exercise, and science dedicated to bringing out their all.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Most animals are already living their best lives. We're just the freaks who don't like to do what we actually do.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

No no no no no. These guys don't get a glow-up, they're already too damn pretty

[-] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Joke's on her, I'm colorblind.

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

The rose finch will always be prettier because it isn’t smeared with bullshit and patriarchy to try and look different.
