Like I said a long time ago about this many blog, birds are terrible and they all need to be canceled. But perhaps no more than the lyre birds, which were recently the early 2000s bakkie artists of the flying dinosaur world. These greedy birds do nothing to score, including indeed doing cloth shit like having a “display” area, which in my opinion is a mature apartment, with towels and more than one pillow, along with extensive and impressive dance routines. But they also regularly try to clinch the deal with their bird Bumble matches by doing a lot of confusing things like mimicking the sounds of impending danger, probably so that the lady lyrebird will fall into the old rom-com trap to the nearest available sneaky -love sneaky lyrebird because why not if we’re going to die anyway.
According to for researchers, male lyre birds will mimic all sorts of sounds of approaching predators, including the “bullying” sounds made by clusters of birds approaching a predator to freeze their bird date long enough for mating:
‘When the imitation calls were analyzed in detail, researchers were able to detect bullying calls that sounded like eastern yellow bakkies, brown thornbucks and white-brown squirrels. Sometimes the researchers detected alarm calls that sounded like two types of contaminants. ”
These PUA birds are not the only animals that do; they are just the best. And although these birds “are capable of doing wonderful things and terrible things,” says Dr. Anastasia Dalziell, it’s apparently not a lyre bird, and we should not cancel them so quickly:
Males strive to mate with females. It’s just one of the many things men do, ”Dalziell adds. ‘They have this beautiful dance routine and they will sing from dawn to dusk, and the woman gets all these other beautiful signals. We must not see the birds of prey terribly. ‘
G / O Media can get a commission
Okay, but these are the same researchers who threw a snake at these already pressed birds to try to get a controllable “bullying” sound, so it’s clear that the problem is systemic. Lady lyrebirds, please know that I, especially as a bird feminist, not only want my concern with birds, so if anyone wants to contact you to tell your story, my DMs are always open.
