You sure they aren't baby black chickens?

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

Black sheep

I saw a red-beaked crow the other day, super rare. A Cornish Chough theyre called.

(I have no photos of my own but they look like these majestic bastards:)

There’s a bunch of them hanging out near the lighthouse on the end of Anglesey recently.

South Stack in Holyhead? That's where I saw them too!

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Glad they’re still there! They’re awesome.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

vastly overshadowed by their penguin cousins though!

[–] Genefixer@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago

Not a crow baby.

See the really big feet and the long beaks?

These are baby Rails:

Today I almost stepped on a batch of tiny baby grouse chicks. They must have hatched like 2 days ago they were so small and as they fled in terror of my Godzilla body they were barely staying on their feet just tumbling away frantically as mom called and hissed at me.

It took everything I had not to take a step and snatch up one of the slower ones. Such good camo too once they stopped peeping and running/rolling I couldn't see any of them. Had to tip toe out of there for fear I'd step on one.

Best day.

Golly! Someone fused a bird with one of these guys

I need crow friends!

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 10 months ago

C'est un poussin noir.

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

What's up? What's up? C'mon my friend and tell me what's up.

This is AI slop

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Slop it may be, but it predates AI. I think it's pictures of a different bird (not a crow) mislabelled.

I've seen this picture reposted about since 2021ish. GenAI had yet to become... A thing.
