An excellent new Tumblr that collects pictures of birds nesting in letters. Is there a bird is the word joke here? No? I'm okay with that.
Tech Buzz The FAA released all that bird strike data they've been keeping for the last thirty years, and it's searchable. Did you know, for instance, that between 1990 and 2008 there were a total of 18 “domestic cat” bird-strikes?!

A sparrow with a bad habit is going viral on metro.co.uk.
Culture Buzz This pigeon was caught by Colombian prison guards with a tiny suitcase of cell phone parts on its back. You crazy bird! Every day they get smarter. By my calculations, we have about 9.5 months before they conquer the human race and turn their bird eyes towards the robots.
A bunch of “thugs” shot this Canadian goose with a crossbow…and it flew away! Now, everyone's trying to find it so they can help it or put it to sleep. That poor goose.
Also basketball, but he's totally traveling. Parrots are the worst and I hate them, but this one is pretty impressive, with the golf thing.
How do you spell cockatoo? Big points if you can beat this bird with the word “influenza,” it might send a message or something.
A fairly self-explanatory (yet heart-wrenching) photo gallery. It's nice to see that birds never try to steal ice cream from little kids.
British TV personality Phillip Schofield thinks that his yogurt bar might be better served as bird food. Everyone is retweeting this. Why? I don't know. Kill me.
Sure, this is adorable, but don't let it fool you. Birds are still out to get us.

Global warming is shifting birds' habitats northward. The purple finch has moved all the way from Missouri to Wisconsin.
This bird catches fish like a person. An ominous development. Give a bird a fish, it will eat for a day. Teach a bird to fish, it will take over the world.
Science Buzz OK people, this has gone on long enough. There is most definitely an unspoken Humans Versus Birds war going on, and we need to address it head-on. The birds struck first with the Avian Flu. But then, humans struck back with Randy Johnson's 95-mile per hour public bird execution. That'll show them, we thought. But now? Now they're taking down our freaking planes! Run and hide, humans. Run. And. Hide. I have a feeling this is only beginning.
The little guy is so the bully, he's just pulling the cute card. But more importantly, is that a chicken nugget? It always disturbs me when birds eat birds, so maybe they're all the bullies. Dirty, cannibalistic, bird bullies.
This is an official Barbie, made by Mattel for the 45th anniversary of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. Go ahead, it's not too late to possibly ruin both your daughter's Christmas morning and her love of the Avian species.
