22 Funny Bird Photos That’ll Quack You Up


Stumped
This army of blue jays looks like it’s plotting something.

The ugly duckling
One day it’ll grow up to be a beautiful crane—and grow some wings, too.

Anyone there?
“Hello?” Between that pose (and that attitude), there’s surely a good bird pun hiding here.

The stare-down
What’s black and white and has a red mohawk? A woodpecker blocking a feeder from a blue jay.

Making waves
It’s tough being America’s avian ambassador.

Hungry?
The early bird catches the worm—or make that six worms.

The peanut in the gap
Now how did that happen?

Bird vs. statue
For such tiny animals, hummingbirds sure are territorial. That statue better watch out!

Give a pelican a fish …
… and he’ll eat for a day. But steal his fish, and he might chase you for a week.

No r-egrets
It’s all fun and games until that sharp beak ends up where it doesn’t belong.

Looking fuzzy
Time for a haircut, maybe?

Big bird
Do these feathers make me look fat?

He won’t make a peep!
Honestly, this little guy’s expression wouldn’t be out of place in a funny baby photos album.

Do I know you?
Seriously, you look so familiar …

Stuck again
It would really come in handy to be able to fly right now …

The seed thief
What does a gnome really need all that bird seed for, anyway?

You can’t park here
The sign says reserved. Don’t you hate it when someone steals your spot?
