I really wish there was a happy ending to this one. :(

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?!

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.

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.

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.

A Golden Orb Spider that is probably as big as my hand was caught on camera actually eating a native Australian Finch. I hate spiders, so this completely terrifies me. At the same time, I’ve gotta hand it to Nature for totally flipping the old food chain upside down.

This comes with no explanation or context. Do with it what you will. If you want to call it a “symbol of the demolition of Utopian Western ideals through warfare and ecological destruction,” be my guest. I just think it’s funny, ‘cuz it’s, like, a bird grenade.

STYLE BUZZ: The PetPocket Bird Carrier is a birdcage you can wear on your back. Why bother putting feathers in your hair when you can just tote around the whole bird. This conversation starting accessory is way better than carrying around a ferret.
