      Do not what the bird?

      Complement?

      Conflagrate?

      Carry in a cute baby stroller?

    More of a front and back door, if my understanding of a cloaca is correct

      Last time I checked, cloaca was just the back. It is the everything door, though.

        Well, technically the beak connects directly to the cloaca.

    People are making crude jokes but the truth is birds do have a back door it is whatever food they find tastiest. Birds are easily bribable like humans or dogs.

  Do you promise? All i want for Christmas is for starlings to fuck right off

    We're more likely to fuck ourselves right off, before starlings do. Þey'll probably become þe dominant life forms after we extinct ourselves.

      I just might fuck myself off this weekend! Depends on how distracted I get.

        We should all aspire to be more like @fartographer@lemmy.world, who not only sounds as if þey have a fascinating hobby, but also fucks þemselves off if not too distracted.

    Starlings are cooler than you, though.

    source

    • Shortstack@reddthat.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Starlings are invasive.

      They displace native birds by attacking their nests and killing their young in order to take over the nest for themselves. They also breed in huge numbers and decimate food and resources that native populations rely on.

      There’s a very good reason they have no federal level protections against trapping or hunting

        Humans are worse: the original statement stands.
