Why do I feel like you people don't give enough love to the cute birds of the world? We've shown you birds that dance and sing and play golf, and you guys are all "Meh. Whatevs."
Someone needs to give this bird its own prank show. For reasons known only to the feathered weirdo itself, it decided to dive bomb unsuspecting pedestrians in San Francisco's Financial District. My favorite part is when one annoyed victim gives the bird.
Flipping the bird isn't really his style.

Let the British host whisper for a while about the Lyre bird, but definitely watch until the end. (If you must skip ahead, start at 1:50.) This bird's skills at mimicking natural sounds (other birds) and man-made sounds (a camera, a car alarm, and a chainsaw) are amazing...
I find this funny because it happens to me time and time again. Out of nowhere, a bird swoops down and looks like it's about to attack from above, so I stop everything I'm doing to duck, cover, and make an over dramatic ass of myself. Meanwhile, the bird flies right past me.
This bird plays golf, basketball, and he plays dead. I'm re-evaluating all my bird preconceptions today.
The gaudy ring this host is advertising takes a tumble off the display table in the middle of a home-shopping segment. Testing for scratch resistance, are we? Not so much.
By now, we've all seen the vid of a bird taking a surprise crap on a reporter in the middle of a live news broadcast. It was the talk of the net last week, but there's a new development in the story. Was this really the accident it seemed to be, or was it the work of a couple of marketing gurus?
