Birds are terrible animals. They make bad noises, there's a clusterfuck of bird species and most of them aren't even beautiful or cute in the slightest, but people attempt to compensate for their flaws by making "cute" plushies and forced characters in books, games or cartoons. Normal people can see birds as the shitty animals they are, and may like them, hate them or be indifferent to them, but when people actually study or own birds, regardless if they think they're ugly or not, they realize that birds are the shittiest creatures.
Many birds that can be kept like chickens or falcons (for falconry only) try to make the owner think that they're as loyal as dogs (also shitty animals) while they don't even care for the owner, just for the food their owner gives to them. That makes birds a trap card for aspies, children, falconers, euphoric neckbeards, mafiosos, manlets and just retards in general. Many birds try to look cool to get cheap food from humans, like pic related mimicking sounds, pelicans and their huge beak bags and chests, peacocks and their creepy eyefull tails, California quails with their stupid calls and parrots completing piss easy puzzles that a child with autism could solve. They do their show, while the mindless sheeple people give them easy treats and do their show again making the cicle continue. Just like street artists but with inferior intelligence and no interest in entertaining the public but just to make their fat bellies even fatter.
Birds are basically THE worst noise in the morning, have the worst smell (anybody who knows what a hoatzin, any kind of poultry or a quail is can confirm that), are below the dumbest mammals in terms of intelligence with some exceptions like crows, are vermin, can't even survive being squeezed on their necks and shit on everything. I'm so fucking glad dodos, auks and the long beaked New Zealander black bird went extinct.
