This Facebook Group Is Dedicated To Hilariously Bad Attempts At Photographing Birds (30 New Pics)
Interview
Oh, how we adore our animal friends! Many times we feel compelled to capture every endearing moment with them through our cameras, hoping to freeze those precious memories in time. It's just that... they're always doing whatever they want and those pics may turn out ridiculous. Not only that, but the camera can do something it shouldn't, or you get the wrong exposure, the shot gets fuzzy, etc.
'Crap Bird Photography' is a hilariously entertaining Facebook group that captures all those lighthearted bird moments you will want to see. No need for perfect compositions or expert photography skills here – it's all about embracing the unexpected charm and quirks that our avian companions bring to the lens. We've wrapped up a new collection of these funny and crap-tastic images, so feel free to scroll down and check them out.

Usually we call them "birbs" when we want to make things sound cutesy, but this.... this is not a birb. This is a borb.

I call them Nessies because all you can see is their long neck sticking out of the water when they swim. Plus, it's easier to say than cormorant.

Superb Blue Fairy Wren In All Of His Magnificence…. Pity I’m Crap…
David A Paterson 3 years ago
Yep. The only way to take that shot is to touch the camera lens to the glass so than any smudges or details on the glass are too close to focus on.

Superb Blue Wren…really

I spent 20 minutes once trying to get the perfect picture of a bird perched on a branch. Turned out to be a Coke can.

I spent 20 minutes once trying to get the perfect picture of a bird on a branch. Turned out to be a branch, and don't get me started on how many other misidentifications I've made.

What I love most about this collection is that almost all the birds in it are actually identifiable down to individual species, despite the blurring, cutoffs, weird behaviour and dislocations.
