Cassowary feet
- Cassowary head
  
  Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
  Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off.
  
  You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.
- he have an onlyfans?
- Clever bird...
- The whole "dinosaurs having feathers makes them less scary" line of thought is kinda silly.
  
  If you stick a pink bow and glitter on a knife, it doesn't become any leas deadly, plus good luck getting that glitter out of your wounds if you do make it to the "I need to get that glitter out of my wounds" stage.
  
  ...it's a cartoon...
Anyone else ever wonder whether the dinosaurs were delicious?
- 100% they absolutely were.
  
  Give geneticists 20 years, we'll have lab grown T-Rex in the grocery store
  
  I suspect T-Rex (like carnivores in general) isn't such a good choice if meat is your goal. Sauropods on the other hand? Tons and tons of meat from a single herbivore animal. You might even be able to use existing cattle feed.
  
  “Welcome to… Jurassic Farms!”
  
  Great, can't wait to hear beards gatekeep ancient flavor.
  
  "T-Rex is soooo gamey. I prefer Diplodocus veal" "Have you tried pteranodon wings? Like buffalo wings from real buffalo"
  
  Can't wait for brontoburgers.
- "tastes just like chicken"
  
  Many of them probably would
- I just need to know which one would be best with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving.
  
  Forget the turducken. This year we're having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.
- Would they taste like chicken, or like lizard?
  
  Most birds don't taste like chicken though

Tap for spoiler

Edit: This one's been floating around the net for long enough that I'd forgotten what the feathery chap in the back left was up to!

Hidden behind a spoiler for those who don't want to see an owl swallowing an entire rat(!)
- Owls really are basically cats.
  
  Ps, pls put a NSFW on it haha. I don't mind but others will.
  
  Good call - not sure you can tag images in comments as NSFW (to get the auto-blur), but I've hidden it in spoiler tags.
- It's not what it seems to be!
Birds don’t just look like dinosaurs they are dinosaurs, scientifically speaking.
- Though by that logic, we're all amphibians or something.
So your favorite bird genre is birds as a whole? Nice, me too!
How do you call this species?

  Ani are you groove-billed?
  
  Are you groove-billed, Ani?
  
  Thanks!
All birds are.
I shall name him Kweh-vin.
