People love transforming their faces into cute dogs or cats with Snapchat - but you know what's better than a human with an animal filter - a beautiful bird with no filter. Bored Panda has compiled a list of best snapchats of wild and pet birds caught on camera just chilling and doing their thing, sometimes in some very odd places.

From unlikely feathery friendships between birds and other household pets to birds in their natural habitats to birds trying to fit in with different winged breeds this delightful list is sure to bring a smile to the face of bird owners, aficionados and admirers. Scroll down below to check out the funny snapchats and don't forget to upvote your favs!

We might think of parrots as the masters of mimicry but in fact ravens kept in captivity are just as likely to pick up human speech and sounds if not better than parrots. In the wild ravens sometimes are known to imitate other animals or mimic predators so they can attract them to carcasses that they can't break open on their own. If that's not a smart bird, we don't know what is!

This one reminds me an episode of that entertainment/documentary show about animals I catch on TV every now and then. There was a cat who was raised by a hen, then the cat grew up and had her own babies. Guess what the cat did? No, she didn't eat the hen, she left her babies for the hen to take care of, while she is wandering around free, as if she never kids in the first place.

Ostriches may be known for their giant eggs, but little is said about their giant eyes - which are the largest eyes set on any land animal. That's right their eyes are the size of a billiard ball, which is 2in (5cm) in diameter, measured front to back, from the center of the cornea to the retina - five times bigger than the human eye.

Have you ever been eating outside and had your meal ruined by an invasion of ants crawling on your food or even worse on you! Well if you were a cardinal this would be a welcome scenario. This bird species likes to cover their feathers or crushed and living ants. While scientists still aren't sure the reason behind this anting, their best guess is that the birds use the formic acid secreted during this practice to help get rid of lice and other parasites.

Letting out a fart in any circumstance is definitely impolite and embarrassing, but especially at the dinner table. Well, if you want to have a classy dinner don't invite the worm-eating Bassian thrush, they find their prey hiding under leaves by farting directly on them. The gas moves the leaf-litter and dislodges the worms - yum.

Have you ever seen your friend yawn and then tried to turn away before you 'caught the yawn?' Well this behavior of contagious yawning is seen in very few creatures other than humans, such as dogs, chimps and lab rats. Budgerigars, or budgies, a common parakeet, are the only bird species/non-mammal scientists have observed so far that also exhibit this behavior. So if you have a parakeet try not to yawn around them!

I love the mock pout that all baby and fledgling birds seem to have. Makes them look like real-life Angry Birds

I had never seen this color finch until we went to the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. They’re in an open room you can walk through. A lot of different colors. If you love birds it’s worth a trip!

I've seen this photo over and over on FB, and this is the first time I've realized the gray ones are also birds! I thought they were seed pods on the branches or something. Time to visit the optometrist again.

I thought they were finches but now I’m not sure because of the beak. A little big for the indigo bunting? I’m new to bird watching and identifying. Beautiful color either way!😀

I'm assuming the blue ones are the male and the grey ones are female

Google Reverse image tags these as Grandala and going here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandala does seem to confirm that

I *think* those are wrens of some type. The bright blues will be the males.

The dull feather color in the females is common when the males are more vibrant and meant to hide them while they try to pick up the chicks and make the chicks.

I count ~35 males and ~60 females. Close to the opposite numbers of a human singles bar.

Ah, yes. That is the famous Avis Picta (latin name). Not. Guess what it means without sortijg to google translate!

I notice there are probably about 3 times as many females as males here. They look somewhat like the cute and tiny birds I usually see, but I don't know if they're the same. But I've never seen a bright blue bird in a long time.

And yet none of them are fighting. Takes people to fight over as simple a thing as color.

This is how I like animals kept, on farms, running free, not in slaughterhouses, crammed up in tiny cages. I like how chickens look like elderly ladies trying to see neighbour's baby.

I laughed longer at that caption than any pun deserves. I am not proud.

Aw, very cute. Young hedgehog spines are quite soft and flexible.
