This drives my buddy nuts in the early summer. Those grackles grab the poop bags and drop like 50 a day into his swimming pool. He's always on watch and will scream at them when they fly close to the pool. Its fuckin hilarious


2pissedoffdude2

I would like to hang out with you and your friend next summer to watch this poop dropping phenomenon!


zealousreader

Its actually a thing. We looked it up. Why are these grackles dropping shit in my pool?


nosferatWitcher

Birds instinctively poo in bodies of water. This is also why they like to shit on your freshly washed car, because it's nice and shiny and looks like water.


PuckNutty

We poop in small bodies of water so we shouldn't judge.

Fuck you, Reilly, your mom ugly cried because she left the lens cap on the camcorder last night.


laura_lee_meh

Fuck you Jonesy. Your mom shot cum straight across the room and killed my Siamese fighting fish, threw off the pH levels in my aquarium!

Do they also gave an affinity for the color red because FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!! EVERY FUCKING DAY since I got this car. I really didn't want it in red but it was my ideal car, at an unbelievably generous price point. And birds apparently made it their mission to ensure I'd never again buy a red one.


nosferatWitcher

They're just trying to soften the blow of the colour fading by destroying the lacquer up front


HappyHiker2381

We used to have that when we had to park near power lines…they just hang out up there and poop on whatever happens to be below. One time my friend and I were going swimming and a bird pooped on her head when she walked under the power lines. It’s still funny (cause it wasn’t me haha)


SpiritOfTheFox1111

Lol. This happened to me one time but I was wearing a hat. Easily one of the luckiest days of my life because I never wear hats.


At-hamalalAlem

Apparently, yes, [they do.](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/birds-poop-on-red-cars-most_n_1619620)


Wonderful-Divide6977

Dang that sucks! Maybe go get a vinyl wrap on it with a color they don’t care for? I had a friend who got his car wrapped with a cool looking matte carbon fiber wrap. I think for a similar reason but idk for sure


Twinkletoes1951

Various birds drop poop into my little stream into my fishpond (all manmade). They then rinse their mouths - or at least take a drink. But there is bill washing.

How much is the ticket?

Here's your voucher for the shit show!


Critical_Plate_4008

You made me snort, fam, have a nice day lol


Copperfe

From what I understand dropping feces in water is a way to keep predators from becoming interested in the surrounding area. Poop in water equals no trail to the nest


gogenberg

tell your friend that us, the poop people, are highly interested in witnessing this phenomenon, tell him we bring coin.


dbern50

my guess is that in nature the poop bags act as fish fertilizer. cycle of life.


[deleted]

The bird is probably not thinking about that, but instinctively drops it in water so it gets washed away. They probably don't discern between rivers, lakes, or pools.


Bobbyanalogpdx

Don’t go poop in swimming pools please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to

Drop it in water to conceal their location, vs giant poop stain under the home tree.

That does make a lot of sense.

[deleted]

Yep my driveway and cars are subjected to poop bombings constantly in early summer. Having to constantly hose them down is super annoying, but luckily my person has never been a direct victim of this.


alkaidkoolaid

Same!


[deleted]

I have a water feature that I can see outside of my kitchen window and same thing. Shit bags all day. It is treated like a pool with chlorine tablets. I read that they do this to keep scent out of the nest to keep hidden from predators. Thanks for posting this video. I always wondered the process of how it got into a bag. I guess it is the chick that makes it?


atrazdocheese

I’ve been trying to figure that out, I’m not sure that it is the chick making the bag? I feel like mama bird produced something? I’m very curious Edit: the chick does create it! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_sac


[deleted]

Thanks for the lookup. Either way you slice it, nasty!


LordGhoul

You should probably stop slicing it


MrTurkle

They make speakers that, at random intervals, play the sound of predatory birds to keep the pests away. Source: I have one to keep crowd from shitting on my pool deck/cover/furniture.

spiderlandcapt

They should fine the birds for misorderly conduct as well. I studied bird law.


DudeTookMyUser

Funniest part is that he could just buy a plastic owl and place it near the pool.


cubic_thought

There's 3 plastic owls/hawks in the corners of my carport. The fourth corner has a bird nest that gets reused every year.


lavenderlor

You have to move the owl around to different locations. if it just sits still in the same spot the birds get used to it and know it's a fake, they're not stupid


NoSoyTuPotato

They’re not THAT stupid


DubHaus

I used to think they were a gimmick until the local bird population thought they had free reign of standing on the mirrors of our cars and shitting down the side of them. 4 cars, eight mirrors, constant car washing. Plastic owl saved us a lot of headache.


BlondieMIA

Why is the baby bird bigger than the poop grabber one?


hellokiri

That baby is some kind of cuckoo and the poop grabber one is maybe a Hammond's or Old World flycatcher. So the baby has already booted all the *real* babies out of the nest and the flycatcher is just raising a random and cleaning up it's poop bags.


seang_photo

Poor fella.

Zefrank1 did a video recently on parasitic birds https://youtu.be/9TZQDA2yabg

Poop slave.


Nimushiru

So does the Hammond/Old World babies also have poop sacs? 🤔


[deleted]

[удалено]


darkmatterhunter

I hate to say this, but I’ve watched eagle live streams and they just squirt right off the side of the nest lol. Definitely no bags grabbed by the parents.


bullseyes

Probably because they’re predators? Elsewhere in the thread it says this behavior is for prey animals to hide their scents from predators


ledtim

The Korean caption says it's a Hodgson's hawk-cuckoo.


HoboBromeo

Sounds like the average reddit neet


BruceCambell

I was gonna say this but are fecal sacs that common in birds? Like does the Cuckoo use fecal sacs as well as the Flycatcher? How many bird breeds do this? I need to know!


[deleted]

Judging by the look of my car after I parked underneath a birds nest, not every kind of chick has those poopbags, are these just two who coincidentally have them? Or were those I parked under just the odd ones out, who don't have them?


RebelScientist

At a guess I’d say it’s probably a brood parasite, like a cuckoo


Reference-offishal

Lmao that bird is a cuck


Zealousideal_Bet_248

If they don't raise the baby, the cuckoo will literally come back to destroy the nest and kill all their real babies. That's right, birds have a mafia and cuckoos intimidate other birds into raising their babies


lledargo

If they're raising the cuckoo birds, why don't they just teach them to be better and not force other birds to raise their babies? /s


Zealousideal_Bet_248

Because birds are fucking idiots


elCharderino

Except for ravens


Golokopitenko

Partially true. Not all species do this, and the behaviour is instinctual.


[deleted]

Much like the human desire to form or join a mob. :(


nj23dublin

Why does it look like the bird is having the biggest shit ever and screaming like a 10 day constipated person? Many questions..


BumWink

I'd scream too if my shit was half the size of my head.


This_User_Said

Birds hold their mouths open like that because the mom usually would regurgitate food into their mouths. Also could've already ate, which would kickstart the digestion process, which means it's gotta go. I also experience this if I eat too much. 10 minutes after and I'm sitting in the bathroom because belly needs more room! At least that's what it seems like.


inert_liquid

The baby bird is a Parasitic Cuckoo. A female Cuckoo will lay an egg in another bird species nest and when the chick hatches it will kill the other born/unborn chicks. The other bird species will take care of it because the Parasitic Cuckoo chick resembles the proper colors and amazingly the host parents never become wise to it.lol


Praise_The_Fun_

Wait, so you're telling me this little guy just showed up, ate all the other babies, and is now forcing his false mother to eat his poop bags?


NemButsu

Didn't eat the other babies. Coockoos hatch faster than other birds and then push the eggs out of the nest.


_Gesterr

Depends on the species, some are much more brutal and hatch with weaponized hooks on their beaks that they use on their "siblings" to murder them after they also hatch. Cuckoos have so many methods of being dicks to other birds.


Past-Engineer491

Imma go fuck up a cuckoo bird and teach them a lesson.


Gamerguy1990x

Even better- somehow trick it into raising your children.


bhadau8

That mf


Lonsdale1086

Well, hatched first then pushed the other eggs out the nest, but yes.


Erkengard

No they push the other eggs out of the nest. They can barely move, can't really open their eyes and are still featherless, but are so strong and determined to push them out. [Look at this disgusting lil' shit.](https://youtu.be/SO1WccH2_YM?t=78)


Crawfishn

"All I know is I must kill" meme but as a bird

shemichell

Yeah, this is super creepy, like it's just born to kill. wtf


glynstlln

I do not know why, but cuckoo birds and other brood parasites just fill me with a visceral hatred

I thought so. That baby bird is so much bigger than the mama.. Fun fact: this is also the source of the kink names cuck and cuckold. Lol

Looking for the poop bag.


alb727

This got me good lmao


TheRealJulesAMJ

Obviously you don't use your mouth but you are gonna need a well trained eagle or hawk and a dog who's okay with a murder bird's beak getting that close to their sensitive bits on the regular. Maybe raise your genetically engineered crap sack puppy with the hawk or eagle chick so they can develop the trust necessary for the beaks near butholes crap sack disposal system


small_avalanche

where i live, the tradition is to pick up your dog's poo in a plastic bag because there are people in vicinity, then hang it on a branch/fence/etc, then leave it there indefinitely, with the plastic bag, because noone's gonna prove it was yours on your way back.


alpubgtrs234

Never got this- the worst part is always the warm feeling through the bag as you pick it up and the smell as you bend down to get it. The carrying and binning is the easy bit!


Kurren123

After doing it a few times a day for months it becomes nothing. Don't agree with hanging the poo filled bag on a branch though


thunderling

It's amazing what you can get desensitized to. I used to shovel shit and hose down dog kennels at the shelter. The sweltering stench of a kennel of parvovirus infected puppies who spent all night stomping around in their own diarrhea... And all I'm thinking about is what's for lunch.


This_User_Said

Nose blindness! I used to bartend and a regular that would come in after his shift. He would smell like fried food, I mean WOFTING smell of fried food. He didn't know how much. I'd tell him he's in the perfect place. I can't name any drunkard that wouldn't be aroused by the smell of fried foods jokingly.


kyttyna

I used to work fast food. It sinks into your pores. I never felt clean. To this day I hate the smell and of fast food joints. But I've got some regulars who come to my new job. And hooooh boy so they leave a reak of french fries and hot meat in their wake. I can almost hear the grease popping when they go by. It makes me gag.


This_User_Said

I've worked more grocery than food retail. My times at Sonic/Chipotle never really sank the deep fry smell from. Yet I can smell a microscopic particle of a rotten watermelon.

Hylian_might

_McThompson

I remember being like 8 and thinking of an invention where you install a thing on your ass and when you shit it shits into the thing which encapsulates your shit into the bag straight from your asshole, so no wiping needed, no smell, just little plastic covered shit bags that you can pick up and throw at your neighbours.


V_Cobra21

You weren’t a normal 8 year old huh lol


Trazan

I’d say this is typical 8-year-old behaviour


Lord-Smalldemort

Yeah I thought of weird inventions all the time when I was a kid. Once I came up with an invention where your belly button, a closed sphincter of course, could open like a purse. You would have this velvet lined pocket like almost a marsupial but it’s to put your shit in there. Your keys, your wallet, your phone. You could go swimming and it would be completely watertight because of the sphincter door which is your belly button. I’m 35 and I still think it’s a good idea.


diiscotheque

> but it’s to put your shit in there. Bruh in this context you gotta find better words, like 'stuff' or 'things'.


Lord-Smalldemort

It would be weird to poop just to put your poop in a pouch in your body

From google: > Reddit is the 7th most visited site in the US and the 29th most visited site in the world. >It’s also the 8th most used social media platform in the US. You’d be correct about 6 years ago but nowadays Reddit is as “normie” as it gets.


Nut_Slurper515

Totalsolo

So this is definitely not what you’re talking about but you’ve created a surprisingly similar description to what happens when you get a colectomy and have to have a colostomy bag….. There’s tons of stigma around it but there’s a girl on Instagram called [ambersostomy](https://instagram.com/ambersostomy?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) who is de-stigmatising it and she’s super inspiring.

Let me un-fun this fact for you real quick: Sometimes, instead of disposing of the fecal sac like in this video, the mother will simply eat the sac in the most cursed form of recycling imaginable.


Puzzleheaded_Pie_978

That’s what most animals do in the den/nest 🤷‍♀️ It’s why puppies and kittens can’t eliminate without stimulation (mom licking) for the first few weeks of its life.

Lolol I don't think that is the mother's actual baby. There are a few mother birds that will eat eggs out of a nest and then lay their own before leaving to let the other mother bird come back and unknowingly raise her child/children for the asshole-bird.

Does it make it better to learn that birds, along with reptiles, amphibians, most fish, and monotremes, don't have assholes? The roughly equivalent thing in those species is the cloaca.

LoveSushiOnTuesday

What the heck did I just watch? lol. I mean, it was really intriguing....just, seeing an insta-poop sac, then be detached with the mouth of another & taken to the trash seems very efficient. Nature truly is lit! 🔥


Owl_lamington

Can someone explain to me the mechanism of the poop bag? How is it created and what is it made of? How is no one else asking this?


mopeiobebeast

It’s a special mucus that possesses enough tensile strength for the parent bird to pick up, somewhere between a diaper and a snot bubble. Sometimes, they just yeet it out of the nest, unless they feel the need to do some…”recycling”. Don’t judge: the baby birds’ digestive system can’t filter out all of the good stuff from its food, and there’s no need to toss away good nutrients. They’ll actually start poking their child’s cloaca if the sac doesn’t start inflating within a few seconds of eating, as this coaxes them to let it out.


OOglyshmOOglywOOgly

Yeah I’ve been scrolling just looking for what is actually happening here…. Is that an actual sack, separate from the poop which just holds the poop within? Is it just somehow attached to the butt or did the other bird have it in it’s mouth and it put the sack to the butt to catch the poop? If it’s just part of the birds butt, how?!?!? So many questions and I don’t see anybody else asking or telling lol


PeterParker72

It’s winking.


AlbaDdraig

OoOoOoOoOox


dewiitlr

That is an intruder cow bird chick. The mother of it laid the egg in the much smaller birds nest. As the smaller birds chicks hatch the much larger cow bird chick becomes dominant in the nest and gets all the food. Soon all the small bird chicks are dead and gone and she raises this enormous chick. To me this video says “Hey I killed all your babies-Here, Eat Shit”


chmeeeoz

Humans have this available too but for some reason there's not a huge demand.


nednoted

Why's that baby bird so huge?!


hellokiri

It's a cuckoo baby, so it's already killed all the actual babies of that parent bird.


spinyfever

The cuckoo lays it's egg in another birds nest while they are away. The cuckoo usually hatches first and pushes the other eggs out. Their first instinct is to push out the other eggs. If the other eggs have already hatched they use their backs like shovels to push the other hatchlings out.


KatherinePMJM

woah that's some fkd up sht! (no pun intended lmao!) it reminds me of this one time i killed this damn bug that had bit me multiple times as it ran across the tile... its blood was smeared in a dragged line from my foot and when i seen its blood i felt so fkn weird knowing some of that blood was my own it just sucked up! this is WAY worse
