My niece did this when she was a baby and crawling toward something she should stay away from. Hilarious.
Bored Panda got in touch with Tracy Johnson from Hummingbirdsxoxo and she was kind enough to share her thoughts on our avian friends. First of all, we wanted to hear more about her relationship with birds in general.
“I don’t think I would actually call myself a bird behavior specialist so much as a bird behavior, observationist, which is honestly not even a real word. I think the best way to become a so-called expert at anything is to put the hours into observation. I have always been fascinated with hummingbirds. My grandmother had a hummingbird feeder in Minnesota where I grew up,” she shared.
“There is something magical about these tiny birds that remind me of the fairies that I loved as a child. The most incredible things to me are the size and speed of them. They’re basically flying rainbow fairies. What’s not to love? My fascination with the birds started out as purely visual. I started to make photographs of them and that’s when I realized all of the subtle intricacies of the birds.”
“Like snowflakes and humans, every single hummingbird is unique in its appearance, and in its behavior. With time, I started to be able to tell the difference between each bird to the point where I was able to name them and recognize them when they arrived at the feeders. There was Apollo a male Anna hummingbird with one wayward polkadot feather on his cheek. And Morgan, a male Rufous hummingbird with bright orange feathers and a terrible attitude worthy of a spot on Santa’s Naughty list. And Valentino, a male Calliope Hummingbird with a sweet disposition and a desire to just live and let live.” It's a quite well-documented fact that birds manage to give all sorts of vibes, based on their unique personalities.
I would pet all 100 Rottweilers, until whoever has engineered this scenario tells me I have to leave.
I confess this is not a problem I have prepared for. I'll get right on it.
A hundred greyhounds? I would just assume I'd died and gone to heaven. But if I could make a noise like a coffee grinder, Max would be there waiting for a treat
I taught the cat to high five, so I'd be trying to high five 100 orange furballs.
if they’re all identical, why shouldn’t i take all of them with me?
My cat’s name is PomPom, so I would yell “Pompompompompom” and then he would run towards me and jump up to sit on my shoulder like a purring parrot. If I’m not allowed to use his name, “come here, my precious baby” will get the same result.
Since they only LOOK alike, if mine was a de-fanged poisonous snake, I'd just leave the room. Quickly.
They don't make poisonous snakes, only venomous ones at this point. But maybe there are poisonous ones just nobodies got around to licking all of them to find out yet.
Load More Replies... I'd whistle. My SchnufflePuff knows my whistle very well 😊
I doubt that Orange is the one with the braincell today, but he'd probably be the first to roll in the hood of my hoodie, exactly as he is right now, foot hanging by my ear. Trying to tell apart 100 oranges otherwise would be a chore, they would all be having a mad half hour or hiding on the cabinet. They would probably all get petted though, orange kitties are cute.
I shout "MOUSIES!" and she comes running (to watch the garden mice from indoors)
100 Papillion Chihuahuas!!! Lay on the floor in the midst of them and try to high five them. The one that knows high five now has 99 new friends to play with ❤️
I have two cats. If it was the orange one, I would say "nush nush! " really loudly. If it was my black one I would get my dad in the room. She is obsessed with him.
Mine will be the only one who doesnt respond to regular whistles, she only responds to the star wars theme song.
Mine overgrooms, so it shouldn't be too hard to find the cat that's half-naked.
For my dog, I'd just yell "come touch!" and she'd run to touch her nose to my hand. For thr cat, I'd start crocheting. He would immediately come sit on whatever I was working on.
I'd yell " bring it" and she'll run the opposite direction while sneering at me over her shoulder.
That's easy, I never use my cat's real name unless we're at the vet. At home, he's called "Who's mummy's big fat wobble-belly boy?" or "Who's my big fat pudding-belly boy?" Technically, those aren't his real name, so I'd just call for mummy's wobble-belly boy and he'd come running.
I would pull their legs (I accidentally taught my cat that this is acceptable behavior and now when she wants attention she walks past and extends a hind leg to be pulled 😆)
I'm confident my two cats would come to me... One would climb on me like I'm a scratching post and the other I would hear coming (she has issues trimming her nails and they catch on carpet) so long as the room is carpeted.
I would purposefully get a tiny kitten or puppy. Then they would put me in a room with 100 kittens/ puppies. Bliss
My dogs would jump and run to me wagging their tails as if they hadn't seen me in two thousand years. My cats would start miawing and scratching my legs to call my attention. I don't need to call them! Arriving home is the best part of my day, because I know I'll be treated like a celebrity!
100 cocker spaniels. In one room. The Great Hadron Collider would be nothing...
I would tsk tsk tsk… she always comes when I do that. If others come along, well obviously they’re my pet too!
My pony would come to me without my needing to call (cupboard love, lol), and bully away any competition. My cat would approach me immediately if I crouched down too. If approached by multiple cats I would lie down and await the cat blanket.
I only need to walk by my cat on the way back from the bathroom. She has an obsessive need with swiping my feet
I'd say the word "treats" very quietly and under my breath and my cat would leap on my face.
S**t 100 of my dog weighs more than the titanic, the room would break
hold a treat up and wait for her to stand on her back feet
I would just sit down and wait for my cat to climb onto my lap.
If it's really identical looking cats, I'm screwed, but if they are just red cats, I'd look for one with big light eyebrows, looking like a negative of Groucho Marx.
One of my dogs wants to meet every person and animal on the planet. Not hard at all.
Apparently I have a very unique whistle and accidentally taught my dog to come to me and only me because for the week after we adopted her I was home the most and naturally interacted with her the most. So I can just whistle and she'll come running.
Play bow, smack my thighs, and ask "who's a GOOD BOY?!' See who runs to me!
I'd use one of Rocky's (he's a smooth fox terrier with long legs) many, many nicknames. Such as Rocky Roo or Rocky Horror which I use when he's being naughty lol.
Call one of my other cats names. They are more likely to come than when I call their name anyway 🙄
I had merino pet lambs that as adults ran with the rest of the 2000 other sheep. Not a problem because 1. Sheep all don't look alike and 2. They used to come up to me to show their babies to their mummy.
Just walk in. My pet is going to be the happiest one to see me. That's pretty simple.
I would wait for something mildly loud to happen and pick the one that immediately freaks out and starts hiding
“The best way to learn about anything in life is to put in the time and just watch things unfold. Watching all of these birds inevitably led to more questions and that led me to do some Internet research. The beautiful thing about life is that no matter how much knowledge you have about a subject? There is always more to learn,” she shared with Bored Panda. Those interested can also explore lists of all hummingbird populations by region.
A brilliant example of Aristotelian analysis!! He insisted geese came from barnacles, you know.
One possible negative side effect of all of these memes floating around is that people sort of forget what unique creatures birds are, so we wanted to hear what things many people get wrong about them. “I think the most common misconception about birds, and actually any creature aside from a human: is that they don’t have personalities. And that’s completely untrue. I have met some of the sweetest hummingbirds, the ones who are careful with each other. I have also met some psychopath hummingbirds.”
“Including Morgan who I mentioned earlier, who at one point flew up to me and tried his best to stab me in my eye with his beak. Hummingbirds do not have the body strength to put behind any aggression so they are definitely not dangerous. I think the only danger in that situation would have been if I had left my eyelid open. He could have potentially scratched my eye, but the real danger was from me dying of laughter because the whole situation was so preposterous. Here's a tiny wisp of a bird, taking on a full-grown human, and thinking that he could win. I simply blew on him, and that tiny bit of wind pushed him back from my face. That snapped him out of it and he flew off to annoy the other birds in the yard.”
“I also think a misconception about hummingbirds is that they are loners. And, for the most part in my experience, this is true with my resident hummingbirds who stay year-round in the backyard. They tend to keep to themselves and avoid eye contact, except during mating season. But for the travelers, which is what I call the migratory hummingbirds: I have noticed a camaraderie between them. It has been said that all of these birds travel alone on the migratory route, sometimes as far north as Canada, and as far south as Mexico. I don’t think that they travel alone. Every year the rufous hummingbirds arrive in our yard: they all arrive on the same day. “
Just another day in New Zealand apparently...also "Butcombe Bitter" haha need to try for the name alone!
“I think the main draw for bird content is that people don’t know as much about interactions with birds as they do with other animals such as cats and dogs. So there is something mysterious about people who are able to interact with birds. But it’s not a special gift that I’ve been given, it’s the idea that if you show an animal that you hear them and you see them. They will begin to interact with you. The most important thing that you can do if you want to interact with anything in the natural world is to express kindness towards them.”
“Show them that you do not mean any harm. The best way to do this is to speak quietly and move slowly. If you want to make friends with the birds in your yard, become part of the scenery. Take a book and go and sit at a table outside and set your hummingbird feeder on the table 4 feet away from you. And every single day sit out there at the exact same time until the birds realize that you are just another creature in the backyard. This is how I started to get the hummingbirds to hand feed from me from the little hand feeders filled with sugar water. It takes time. But it’s definitely worth it.”
“I managed to make friends with some wild, cottontail rabbits in my yard, and I’m able to hand-feed them as well. And that was accomplished in the same way that I got the hummingbird comfortable with me. I just became a part of the scenery.” You can find more of her work on Instagram and Facebook.

Don't feed birds bread. If you have nothing else to give them, then give them nothing.
I carry bird seed in the car (specifically layer mash mix for water poultry) handy for wild ducks and pet ducks on the go 😝

Why is there not an option in the poll “all bird memes are excellent” because that’s the only real answer
As an owner of chaotic, feathered dinosaur, I approve of this post.
