Animals: Just do it

Just do it

Today, I witnessed the beautiful sight of a tiny baby bird struggling to take flight from its nest. "You can do it," I muttered, which I guess my asswipe of a cat heard as "Quick, go kill that bird and scar me for life, please." FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I watched a cat pounce on a small bird and rip it to shreds, feather by feather. It wouldn't have been any worse than mildly disturbing, had I not just spent the last 4 weeks nursing the bird back to health from a broken wing. FML

Today, my brother and I found a little bird that couldn't fly. While trying to convince my mom that it couldn't fly so we could keep it, I lightly tossed it in the air and it landed a few feet in front of me. Then my cat grabbed it and ate it. FML

Today, I'd had enough of the annoying bird constantly singing in the shrillest bird voice possible outside of my window, so I chased it around the yard, shooing it away, as my cat sat there and watched. FML

Today, I found a tiny, featherless baby bird. I knew it was impossible, but I tried to keep it alive through the day. Before I could get it to the wildlife center, it died, and when I got all choked up over it, my mom started laughing at me and saying how "weak" I was. FML

Today, I was caring for a bird that had flown into my window. I thought the poor thing wouldn't make it, when it shit in my hand, flew into my neck, then around my living room for ages before I could manage to get it out of the window. FML

Today, I saved a bird from being run over as it lay in the middle of the road. Thinking it had a broken wing or something, I started carrying it home, intending to take it to the vet later. It crapped in my hand and flew away. FML

Today, I found the eggshells from the nest belonging to the little bird that lives outside my house. They were covered in blood and it was quite obvious that they had been eaten. While I was looking at them, the mother bird came over and attacked me. FML

No good deed…

Today, I was with my 14 year-old son when we saw a baby sparrow being attacked by four or five blackbirds. We rushed up, waving our arms and scared away the much bigger attackers. The baby sparrow ran toward us for protection, then went past both of us, and ran straight down a storm sewer. FML

The bird

By Mariah Barnes - 24/07/2020 08:01

Today, I saved a baby bird from the site I work on. It was the runt and did not have any feathers and was neglected by the mother. I took care of it all day at work and planned on taking it to a wildlife reserve after work. Two minutes away from the reserve, we hit a pothole and I dropped it. It died. FML

Today, I decided to confront my fear of birds when my friend's pet bird was walking up to me. He got on my arm, climbed up and attacked my face. FML

They might have thought you were staring at it because you were hungry but too stupid to catch it yourself. :D

It's their natural instinct to kill em, they see it as easy food nothing you can do to stop it

A person's thought: Nawww a cute baby bird. A cat's thought: Mmm chicken nugget.

Cats are natural predators.. It's in their genetic code.

My cats are outside as well. I life in a village and it would be plain cruel to keep them in the house all the time. Don't forget that in the end cats are not nearly as domesticated as dogs.

Cats can live quite happily indoors; living outdoors lowers their life expectancy by years, and outdoor cats are actually ruining native bird populations in a lot of places.

My cats live outside as well. One of them is nearly twenty, but in such good health you'd think she was five. I don't think her life expectancy has been changed by living outside, and she doesn't get bored during the day while I'm gone because there's plenty to do outside.

Maybe the bird was a present by your cat, so you would be overjoyed. But alas! You saw the present too soon! And now, Mr. Cat must of had to destroy the evidence. Poor cat.

Cats are awesome, but ocassionally that awesomeness carries less-than-awesome consequences for other critters. OP, it's not going to scar you for life. If you don't like it, keep your cat indoors. Cats are just like that, in general.

This is neither FML not YDI. When I picture it in my head, it's just funny xD Although I also tend to enjoy dark humor, so maybe that just says something about me...
