This is a video of very precious Milo the ring-necked parakeet throwing a temper tantrum when his owner tells him that she’s going to step outside for a little while. It sounds like he’s actually mocking her. It only lasts a short while though before he’s back to blowing kisses

This is a video from the San Diego Zoo of flamingos feeding in the shallow water of their exhibit. Some more info about how flamingos feed while I feed the only way I know how– “Eating until you feel like you’re going to puke.” *loosening belt* It’s nature’s way of
