They also eat worms and expell waste at will.

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

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

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

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

Try living outside and migrating.

~~She~~ He was born with it.

Edit: I regret the error.

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

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Particularly true with birds

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

Maybe it's Maybelline?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

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

Limited edition valentine's day/blossom tree day birds

Joke's on her, I'm colorblind.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Dont gotta tell me twice

[–] [email protected] 54 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

What a cutie!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

I think I saw that kid working at the movie theater

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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