Birds might be one of the rare animals who we humans would swap places with, even considering all the perks and comforts of civilization. The ability to fly, go anywhere, and escape nearly everything is simply too good of a deal to pass up and birds sometimes seem to know it.
The “Birds with threatening auras” Facebook page gathers and shares pics of avians who do not give a single damn. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorite posts, and be sure to share your own thoughts and bird-encounter stories in the comments section below. We got in touch with the page's creator to learn more.

I am a Human Owl (nickname by my Hong Kong classmates in 1957) but only one eye (from a bad doctor in 2017). My Chinese classmates still calling me ' Mao Tao Ying = Owl in Cantonese ' at the age of 79. OWL COULD NOT BE DISTURBED DURING THE DAYTIME! ...... from my home in ' The City of Angels, Bangkok '
When it's cold enough to see the melody
"Pumpkin eeeea-ter" (the approximation of their call for the non-birders)
To me, their call sounds like the sound made when you toss a good size rock into pond

Load More Replies...Bored Panda got in touch with Julia Morales the creator of the “Birds with threatening auras” Facebook page and one of its current admins. She was kind enough to answer some of our questions, starting with how the page was formed in the first place.
“So the story behind this page's creation is that one day I sat down and wondered “What would be a funny bird group name?” and didn’t want a name like “birds” and “bird memes” so that’s how “Birds with threatening auras” was born!” she shared with Bored Panda. Since then, the page has received thousands of regular visitors.
Yup. They didn't evolve from dinosaurs, they are still dinosaurs.

A friend of mine referred to these birds as "the Thanksgiving turkey that eats YOU!". :)
But it's so pretty. And looks like a Dino. So maybe I shouldn't be calling it pretty.

I can count 12 and the mother Auntriarch. ( This time I wrote your name well. :). )
Load More Replies...We also were curious to hear how she would describe the name to someone less familiar with internet culture. “I would explain a threatening aura as something bad a bird is doing or hidden undertones. Such as, for example, swans making traffic stops and making people angry just so they can walk across the road with their little swan family.”
Do you really want to know? Try making him move.

She knows full well what she's doing. Nobody is getting any delicious choco eggs
Birds have ended up in their fair share of memes, so we wanted to hear Julia’s thoughts on the page’s popularity. “I think it’s the name and the birds being “bad” in some way. It’s a funny genre and I think it’s also due to people calling birds government drones,” she shared with Bored Panda, referencing the satirical “Birds Aren’t Real” campaign.

Because birds are the descendants of dinosaurs, the feathers are the evolution of scales.also is the response to the question was first the egg or the chicken. Was the egg because dinosaurs were oviparous. Enjoy ;)
Load More Replies...If you ever wanted to know what a real dinosaur looks like, now you know.
This is the picture that needs to go in the natural history books when explaining how birds are descended from dinosaurs. Can't miss the resemblance.
I thought the duck had guns aimed at the officers. (I need to put my glasses on)

Reminds me of people doing genealogy claimiming to be direct descendants of famous kings and queens
Fun Fact: All living birds are classified in the Theropoda clade, same as Velociraptors, they are not direct descendants but strictly related nonetheless.

Load More Replies...Met some peacocks while strolling through a park in the UK. Thought I escaped to a nearby bench, but they followed me. Once they saw I hadn't any food for them, they just stood around me and preened. Not hostile at all, more... protective, in a way? I felt rather special actually. 😄
STORY TIME! When I was like 10 I went to Florida to visit some family (grandma and grandpa) during spring break. They decided to take us kayaking (sp?). Well we went down a river, maybe 2 miles, and took a ride thing back. When we got back, there was a flock of peacocks outside the main building and my mom thought it was a good idea to go closer to them to get a picture. So we do that then start walking back to the car. Well, the peacocks slowly started following us. We were gathering a bunch of stuff so we were there for awhile. Ten minutes later, we were all in the car and the car was surrounded by said flock of peacocks. Couldn't drive over them because my grandpa was a sweetheart and also there were like three to the back. Grandpa had to get out and throw down some of our snacks so they would go away from the car. As we were driving out of the parking lot they started chasing us and as we exited they just stood there and watched us drive away. Like something out of a movie idk
I'm glad someone mentioned that it is a peacock she is running from. For a second I thought. That she was being chased by a extremely pissed off Christmas tree.
I had a cockatoo do that to my keyboard while I was chatting. They thought I was having a stroke.

Little known fact, Portland, OR is home to one of the US west coast's largest breeding sites for Peregrine Falcons (as seen in this picture). They nest under the plethora of bridges throughout the city.
Another little known fact. The peregrine falcon is one of the five most widely distributed bird species in the world. It is found on all six continents. And is even a feral pest in some places, such as islands in the Indian Ocean. So when someone tells you that the Peregrine is threatened with extinction, remember to laugh at them.

My grandma lived on a lake. She/we fed the ducks all the time. And sometimes they would take off full speed straight at our heads and we had to ,ahem, duck! Several decades later I started kayaking with my husband on a river and those ducks will sit in front of you until you hit them! Don't get me started about the ignorant Miscovies in Floriduh.
Should have gone to Specsavers.....you're supposed to steal chips, not false teeth.
I have seen seagulls take all kinds of things but this one takes the caKe. LOL
We warned pappy to take the china clippers out before dippin a pinch. Not only is the spitting gross but something like this was bound to happen. Drinkin n chewin don't mix.
Darn, that should teach you not to leave them laying around like that. . .!

If croutons are crunchy on a salad, then when they get stale would they turn soft?

Had a duck hopping and quacking her head off on the hood of our new car because it was time to put out more duck chow. Never feed bread to any type of wild bird. No nutritional value, can absorb water causing dehydration and other nasty pr

The charm of birds conveying foreboding vibes has captivated many, as seen in both Elena's and Julia's whimsical explorations of avian personalities.
Similar to the threatening aura Instagram account, Julia's Facebook page showcases these enigmatic birds, reveling in their mysterious allure and mischievous antics.
This mocking bird will not only mock you but it also thinks you’re a loser. Look at the judgement
Mockingbirds are f*****g psychos when it comes to their territory. We have a pair that nest in one of our trees, and man, they will swoop down on any creature passing by. Including humans. Then they’ll perch high up close by and stare at you menacingly. If you don’t believe me, try passing by a tree with a mockingbird’s nest in it.
I too am a mockingbird victim. They are so cute and spunky, though.
Load More Replies...I used to have a mocking bird nest directly above the door to my bedroom that went to an atrium....fùckers would mimic car alarms at 5am on the daily.
Also the male will go through his routine ALL NIGHT to keep his territory known by everyone nearby. All night. It's terrible.
I have a love hate relationships with mockingbirds. I love to hear all their jabber but in the spring they go on and on all night long. This week there was one who learned to imitate a hawk and was flitting around scaring all the other birds. It then proceeded to jump scare me from behind a bush. This one took it to the next level.
Let me sing you the song of my people in 100 dB... §$%&//&)§"=$/&"!=/!!!

Very cute, but I have a few issues about cleaning up, especially given those decorations . . . . . .
I was wondering if the white on the decoration was willingly there or if it was the result of the birds above.

I like feeding birds and watching them outdoors. Never would want one in my house..again. Roommates parrot was miserable to live with..
I had a bird that would crawl underneath a blanket and demand to be petted on your lap and if you moved the blanket it would hiss. BIRDS ARE WEIRD!
