We'll take 18ish likes as a yes. Birds are amazing. Between their acting performances, masterful dancing and outright aggression, we can't get enough. Here are some of the noteworthy "activities" birds are capable of. Have you been witness (or victim) to any of these? 🐦1/7

Canada geese and red-winged blackbirds are fearless when it comes to defending their nests or young. The WILL "attack" or dive-bomb people, otherwise known as losing their cool. Be wary this time of year. 🐦2/7
Have you seen this bird? Chances are, you've seen them with a broken wing usually. Ok, that's an act. Killdeer, who deserve an Oscar, will pretend to have a broken wing and lead you away from their nest. Standing ovation-worthy performances! 🐦3/7
Feeling like dancing? Sandhill cranes will do very dramatic performances to court their partners. Waiting for their moves to trend on TikTok so we can put together a compilation. 😂 🐦4/7
How about vocal performances? European starlings, blue jays and grey catbirds love doing impressions. Birding can be confusing if you're just going by sound. (confirmed through personal experience!) 🐦5/7
