what bird is the most evil?

[PittPoliSci]

I was thinking to myself the other day "I would look really cool if I had a really evil bird accompany me around everywhere I went." But I have thus far been unable to think of what bird would be the most evil to have as a pet.

So what do you think? What bird is the most evil?

[Dookus]

1. swans

are pretty damn nasty.

[PittPoliSci]

7. they sure are.

but i was thinking more on the lines of something that could perch on my shoulder.

my friend was attacked by a swan once, it was hissin' at him and stuff, pretty nasty indeed.

[NYC Liberal]

2. Tweety.

(No offense to the cartoon.)

[peekaloo]

3. Vulture...but they're huge and nasty!

[4_Legs_Good]

63. I think vultures are cool

I like any soaring birds.

Gorgeous

[JohnKleeb]

4. what are thoes birds who eat dead shit? ahh vultures

they always came across as assholes to me.

[NamVetsWeeLass]

8. Nasty Bird? Peacock. Things are friggin Mean. eom

[JohnKleeb]

10. they're assholes too

[NamVetsWeeLass]

50. I knew someone who had a few....

They were all walking around, Like nothing at all was wrong, One suddenly Jumped on my boyfriends leg and began Pecking (I think they call it flogging) him visciously. I mean this thing was mad and out for Blood. It tore a hole in His Jeans and was going for bare skin when we finally got the thing off him.

[yardwork]

58. A chicken did that to me once.

I was climbing out of my car at a pottery workshop and a chicken ran up to me and attacked my leg. Drew blood. I mentioned it to the potter and he laughed.

All birds bite. I know this. I have had three birds as pets in recent years. They are vicious. They bite. Any parrot will do.

Cockatiels are nice. If you want a really vicious bird, don't buy a cockatiel. Buy a parrotlet.

[spatlese]

5. Chickenhawks n/t

[alittlelark]

Such a good choice!!

[mr_hat]

6. I'd say crow, but Uncle Billy had one. Also, a sympathetic squirrel.

[NamVetsWeeLass]

11. LOL I can't say a Crow, they are one of my Totems,,,,,

[tmooses]

9. Seagulls with diarrhea

[alittlelark]

12. The Blue Footed Booby

We saw thousands of them in the Galapagos. They make their nest on flat pieces of land (ie-paths) and shit 360 degrees to mark their nests. They love to shoot shit.

If you don't want people bugging you, it is the right choice.

But, they're also quite stupid.

[PittPoliSci]

14. i'm looking for an intelligent bird though...

and one that won't shit all over me.

if i wanted to scare people away with shit, i'd just do it myself. :-)

[dave502d]

13. Jail bird. about 3,000.000 in the USA.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

37. A real cash crop... all them criminal drug abusers.... on the Michael

Ruppert lectures... (He's clean 18 years or so) he explains how drug addiction is a social, spiritual problem, and that it is not a criminal problem for the most part. I'm telling you... they are worth the download if you are really interested in finding out the whys behind what is being done in your name across the globe.

[mitchtv]

49. Brings to mind Stool pigeons

lotsa them too

[Solitaire]

15. ummm

there aren't any evil animals.

only people can be evil.

[Dookus]

22. They can do evil things...

wasps that lay their eggs in host insects that are paralyzed. The eggs are laid in such a place that the host insect lives as long as possible while being eaten from the inside by the larvae.

Cuckoo's that lay their eggs in other birds' nests. The resulting babies then toss the other inhabitants out to die while they're raised by the adoptive parents.

Orcas that spend hours separating a baby humpback from its mother, only to eat the meat around the jawbone and let the rest sink. They also torture seal lions for fun, tossing them around like a ball.

Life ain't a disney movie.

[JohnKleeb]

25. damn that is evil

[Solitaire]

26. not evil...

that's just survival. not evil.

:)

[Dookus]

34. no

tossing a sea lion for fun is not survival. Killing a baby whale and only eating a tiny portion of it is not survival.

There are many other examples of animals behaving cruelly.

[JohnKleeb]

39. isn't there some examples of gang rape in the animal kingdom

:shrug:

[Solitaire]

51. nooooooo :)

they might fight, but that too is survival for the fittest to procreate.

Although, Dolphins can get mean and nasty about mating. But, still not evil.

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

66. I wouldn't call any of that evil

That's just them doing what they are wired and created to do.

The baby humpback that falls to the bottom of the ocean will be food for other animals. It'll all get eaten.

Perhaps the tossing of the sea lions is a tenderizing maneuver. And even if not, doesn't matter. That's just what they do.

like the mosquito that bites, and the bee that stings and the jellyfish and rattlesnake that poisons...

[democracyindanger]

16. a bat

OK, not a bird, but still--walking around with a bat on your shoulder? Duuuuude...

[mr_hat]

23. A bat is a watchacallit, like a dolphin. >

A fish.

[Mojambo]

17. Without question, Chickens. n/t

[PittPoliSci]

18. a friend of mine had an evil chicken.

damn thing bit everyone and scared the hell out of his family's dogs. so not a bad choice!

[Mojambo]

24. I've always been afraid of them

I saw a rooster nearly kill my cousin when we were kids. Now, I tread carefully wherever they range...

[Elidor]

19. Ravens certainly LOOK evil

Crows are meaner than hell itself. Vultures can also claim some degree of bottomfeeding infamy.

Walk around with a pet raven on your shoulder.

[PittPoliSci]

ravens are smart too!

we might be approaching a winner in the "evil bird" contest. cause being brainlessly evil, ie shitting everywhere, isn't nearly as cool as being intelligently evil, as well as evil looking.

[qnr]

31. Their group name doesn't help either

an "unkindness" of ravens

[PittPoliSci]

40. wow! that's freakin' great!

the more i hear about them the more i like them.

[mitchtv]

48. then there's a "murder of Crows"

the smaller cousins.

[PittPoliSci]

60. i was explaining this thread to my g/f...

she was tellin' me about those, which i like as well :-)

[Kali]

20. Raven or Crow

they aren't evil but they do carry off the appearance. Smart humorous and probably illegal to keep (migratory)

Vultures are actually kind of clumsy and doofy.

Some people are superstitous about owls but not really evil.

If you could see the doorways and wooden chairs in my house and the sunvisors, weatherstrip, and backs of the seats in my vehicles you would know the true evil bird is a Macaw.

[greendog]

21. There are no evil birds....

...only evil humans. Maybe Jimmy Swagart could perch on your shoulder?

[Solitaire]

28. ooooooh!!

I know!!! You could get George Bush to perch on your shoulder!

[PittPoliSci]

33. i could clone him exactly 1/8 his size and do it!

that's a damn good idea. I'd only feed him oil.

[Solitaire]

38. hehe

there you go and bathe him in it too!

:silly:

[PittPoliSci]

42. he might slide off though!

:silly:

[carpetbagger]

27. Caracara.

It forages like a vulture, but it is a type of falcon, so it looks more evil, as opposed to the basic Eisenhower/Elmer Fudd look of a vulture. It's the bird that eats the snake on the Mexican flag.

[PittPoliSci]

30. it's a very handsome bird!

n/t

[Solitaire]

32. wow

that's a beautiful bird :)

[qnr]

36. self-delete n/t

[zeemike]

29. I know that this is all in fun but

It must be pointed out that the only animal or organism on this earth that is capable of evil is man.
So the only correct answer is Jail bird.

[Solitaire]

35. zeemike..

that's what I've been trying to tell them all!!!

:silly:

[PittPoliSci]

41. i know i know!

i'm just jokin' around! :evilgrin:

[Solitaire]

44. :)

:silly:

[Dookus]

43. yes you have

and I responded with concrete examples to the contrary.

It is a Disneylike myth that man alone disrupts the peaceable kingdom.

[qnr]

45. Skuas

Evil, evil birds. Small, beady eyes. Think they own the icepack. Bite right through brand new, expensive leather gloves. Snicker afterwards. Evil I say.... evil!

[6th Borough]

46. Muscovite Ducks.

These aren't your cute Mallards.

They are hellspawns. And ugly. Evil and ugly.

If you live in "blue" (aka Broward County) Florida, you're probably familiar with them.

[Kire]

47. Condor

man, that's evil

[BigMcLargehuge]

52. Cassowary

The Cassowary has Gondwanaland origins (when much more of Australia was covered by rainforests).

There are two other cassowary species in New Guinea.
It lives to about 50 years of age.
Despite being a bird, the Cassowary is Australia’s largest land animal.
It normally weighs about 60kg, but the heaviest recorded was 83kg.
Its eggs are the third largest of all birds at an average 584g (after the Ostrich eggs at 1100g and Emu eggs at 637g).
Even though it is large and colourful, it can be hard to see in the rainforest. At close quarters it may be quite frightening.
It has powerful legs and if provoked may kick in defence. The sharp nails on its inner toes can easily rip flesh so the Cassowary is capable of killing humans...

59. as bad ass and mean as that looks...

i don't think it'll be able to perch on my shoulder.

however, i probably could ride in on the bastard. hmm...considering a new approach maybe.

[DELUSIONAL]

53. Crows --in Oregon they attack and kill lambs

This is learned behavior and spreading to other regions.

[FuzzySlippers]

54. Ostriches are pretty mean.

They can kick a person to death, I believe. However, it would probably be hard to get one to perch on your shoulder. Maybe you could have one on a leash?

[PittPoliSci]

62. or ride it?

do they head butt people too, or is that something i saw in a stupid movie?

[pinniped]

55. Without a question, the damm turkey vulture...

Cathartes aura

Them damm things are everywhere!

Look at that damm evil head!

[Robeson]

56. Bluejays are mean!

[PittPoliSci]

61. yeah but they don't exactly strike fear into the hearts of republicans...

so i don't know how effective a bluejay would be following me around.

[Robeson]

64. Get a flock of them, and teach them to...

...attack! Attack!

[GreenPartyVoter]

57. Chickens. They are mean and poop all over your yard. Ditto for geese

[Kali]

65. awww chickens aren't mean, geese - different story

although roosters can be - used to have one that required baseball bat discipline. Till he attacked my son then he got simmered for a couple days. Still couldn't eat the bastard though. gross.

And you want to see poop - freaking DUCKS. yuck.
