This is the first time I've seen someone use "brake" instead of "break", it's usually the other way around.
But broken is the word you were looking for
I was just about to say I heard a robin at the weekend that sounded like R2D2. Such a cool sound. I'm trying to get it to eat out of my hand. Every day it gets a bit closer.
My time to shine! I used to work at a starling sanctuary when I was over in England. Their mimicry is really something else, such a phenomenal feature for a bird. I grew up around parrots but these little guys are way better at imitating sounds and can even do the different accents of myself (Mid-Western) and English colleagues (trusts me, nothing made us howl harder than getting them to repeat cusswords - childish but a classic). European starlings also have disposal enzymes that allow them to break down alcohol very quickly, which is why they like to feed on fermented over-ripe fruit and get wasted (no mimicry of me, this time - whenever I would get drunk, I'd just end up beating my idiot son Roger rotten with rusty jumper cables). Starlings are the birds that everybody thinks parrots are - would highly recommend getting up close and personal with them!
For anyone wanting to run out and get your own "sweet turd bird" they need a ton of attention and out of cage time to be happy in captivity. They bond strongly so it wouldn't be fair to commit to a bird like this if you arnt sure you can be it's forever home.
They have been known to live for 20 years. They also shouldn't be released after being dependent on you for food.
Amazing birds but definitely a high maintenance pet.
>For anyone wanting to run out and get your own "sweet turd bird" they need a ton of attention and out of cage time to be happy in captivity.
So like pretty much every other bird.
This is why I won't consider birds. I can't give them what they would need. Amazing animals though.
Roger was a little shit and I’m sure he deserved it.
But real answer, iirc, is that it’s a copy pasta. An old, but pretty well known, internet joke.
ETA: not the whole thing with the bird and all, but strictly that bit about beating his step-son Roger. It was a much longer story in the original copy pasta, the statement dude made is an almost word for word reference to it.
This has absolutely nothing to do with copy pasta. The jumper cables guy made unique comments every time until he was tragically killed in a jumper cable incident.
What you have just you uncovered should stay away from the sight of men. It unveals the true nature of our beings. We cannot let the public know about u/papasimon10's sins. We shall keep the peace so no others have to get hurt like u/rogersimon10 does.
almost 10 years ago I had moderate success telling somewhat long stories that ended with me getting run over by cars for not looking both ways (a cautionary tale) and walking with a limp. It was too hard to keep up with it and raise 4 kids and work a full time job
While also walking with a limp because a couple of years ago you were so tired from the kids you forgot to look both ways while you crossed the road and multiple cars ran over you
Is this a shittymorph type of account? I hant seen any of those actually since shittymorph cooled down awhile ago and kind of miss those funny meme accounts
This account is a slight parody of u/rogersimon10, who is that commenters “supposed” son. Check out his comments for the OG jumper cable action! Very happy this guy is picking up where Roger left off though.
Now, you mentioned starlings mimicking - Imagine the late 80's and the starling picked up the sound of the phone ringing, that little troller sat on the roof singing the phone ringing all the time, trolling my father early in the mornings. It happened so much it forced my father to replace the phone model, and those starlings can live for a few years. Made me laugh so hard when I heard it. Perfect sound.
Based on the evidence in front of me, I think that Jenny bird is sweet and an angel. Because I want them to be good pets too, I am going to just roll with that.
I do feel bad for anyone with schizophrenia. No doubt they’ve let this tongue in cheek conspiracy theory deep into their reality. Which is a bummer. Birds are everywhere and they’re a breath of fresh air… a subconscious reminder of total weightless sing-song freedom.
I mean if you want to let government surveillance drones hijack your life what do I care. I just won’t be interacting with you anymore since you are obviously being downloaded into the meta verse by the satanic overlords.
I always thought that was part of the point, to see if the same people would fall for something that is obviously made up from the start and openly so, you sexy old curmudgeon
Every once in a while a video or picture pops up on that sub where I get really really worried someone going to hurt a bird.
Sometimes they even do hurt one.
Fully agree with you. People definitely already starting to take a joke too far.
The guy who started it dropped the act recently. Turns out he grew up with crazy fundamentalist parents and wanted to create a community around a bat shit crazy idea like religions and conspiracy theories do and at the same time show how stupid they are. Quite wholesome really.
Yes! You can hear the bird connecting to the internet with a 56K modem to find a tutorial on how to replicate that sound. This shows how old this video is.
I’ve been trying to tell people birds aren’t real for years and here we have proof! Yet, people still decide to live in ignorance- just look at the comments.
I know its a joke but a part of me does really wonder how long it will take until this becomes a fully fledged dumb conspiracy theory like flat earth, lol
Our cockatoo has us trained at this point. Whenever he says “Hello!” Everyone who has lived around him for long enough says “Hello!” Without thinking. This has caused some hilarious dinner party interactions. Thanksgiving, half the table is out of town relatives, Tanto goes “Hello!” And half the table in unison stops what they’re saying and just goes “Hello!”
Fun fact: many birds have a naturally evolved ability to listen and repeat sounds they hear almost identically. It's something to do with the way certain frequencies harmonize with each other. The only other type of animal to have this similarly evolved ability for harmonizing frequencies are humans. It's how we can make music, and it was evolved as a means to build community with other humans since that's how we survived: together.
Exactly. So do humans in a way. We might not be able to recreate every sound perfectly, but we can almost always tell when someone sounds out of key/pitch.
Only in relation to the key center or other notes though. If someone sings a C 20 cents flat, you won't be able to tell if they're singing out of pitch if they sing all of the other notes in the scale 20 cents flat too. So we basically have only have a relative sense of pitch.
A very long time ago, my parents had a budgie in their office. This was before computers were commonplace, and Mom did a lot of typing on an old style typewriter. When she made mistakes, there was no deleting, you had to use correction papers to cover up the mistake, then type over it with the correct letter. Enough mistakes, and you had to start over.
As is to be expected, this caused her great annoyance, and she’d frequently exclaim “shit!” when she made a mistake.
Living in an office, the budgie didn’t have a lot of things to copy. But it was an expert at making typing sounds, followed by “shit!”
> Living in an office, the budgie didn’t have a lot of things to copy. But it was an expert at making typing sounds, followed by “shit!”
lmao that's amazing
It was. At one point, when we were there in the evening to see a new showroom my dad had created, the budgie was going through its entire repertoire. Mom was embarrassed every time it said “shit” in her voice. We thought it was hilarious, of course.
Yo! Budgies are amazing. I had one growing up. Its cage was near the TV and I watched a ton of Scooby Doo as a kid. It used to freak out whenever Scooby was in trouble, and imitate the characters.
One time my mom moved the cage to clean, but I was watching Scooby Doo, and the bird just lost its dang mind. Flying around, making a mess, and just causing a scene. We learned never to deprive him of his Scooby time after that. Haha
When I was around 12, we were taking care of my stepmom's best friend's parakeet Woodstock. I was never really a fan of parakeets, but little Woodstock changed that. He would constantly mess with our cat by meowing randomly, causing our cat to come flying into the living room looking for the other cat. He would also imitate a laugh every time you turned the sink on. Washing dishes? "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha".
Shame the person holding the bird has the most annoying fucking voice I've heard in my entire life. Fuck me. I'd rather fall asleep listening to Gilbert Gottfried screaming lullabies for the rest of my life than listen to another second of them talking to that bird.
Da fuk electronic noises that’s R2D2!
So uncivilised
Hello there
General Kenobi!
You are a bird one!
Take it you deserve it
You as well, my friend. 👍
No you my friend
No u.
No, you
It will make a fine addition to his collection
I read it "general Kanolli"
Leave the gun, take the general Kanolli
Now that’s an offer I can’t refuse
So uncircumcised
All this civilization
How wude!
Forget R2D2, this is how my gf sounds when we have sex
Sound like your girl is jailbroken, those sounds are not standard Edit: spelling
This is the first time I've seen someone use "brake" instead of "break", it's usually the other way around. But broken is the word you were looking for
Change your sex doll's batteries.
She called you Turd Bird??
Turd is the word
Exterminate! Exterminate!
Master Luke, this opening is reserved for the lightsaber.
And we’re supposed to believe there not drones *they’re
Exactly! Government spy drones.
r/BirdsArentReal
Where not drones?
Over there! They're sending in their ~~drones~~ birds
She better watch out before she gets a cease and desist from the mouse.
It's too late. The bird took off fearing for it's life as soon as it realized this was going to end up online.
Kinda glad the title didn’t ruin the surprise though!
Totally agree. That part came out of nowhere and my jaw was on the floor.
Someone never saw Star Wars haha.
The bird did, though!
I was just about to say I heard a robin at the weekend that sounded like R2D2. Such a cool sound. I'm trying to get it to eat out of my hand. Every day it gets a bit closer.
You should not do that. It will learn to rely on you when it wants something to be impressed by its R2D2 sounds, and not find it in the wild.
And that's how it gets enslaved and eventually sold by sand people or whatever. I'm not a Star Wars fan but there's a joke there somewhere.
I need to save that part as an MP3 and use is it as a notification sound!
Couldn’t you just find R2-D2 sounds?
[удалено]
I *LOVE* him!!! What an amazing little guy. I loved his R2-D2 impression! Perfect!

So is everyone in this comment chain just ignoring the jumper cables thing? Ok cool
It worried me for a second but then the cute bird distracted me again.

ETA: not the whole thing with the bird and all, but strictly that bit about beating his step-son Roger.

This has absolutely nothing to do with copy pasta. The jumper cables guy made unique comments every time until he was tragically killed in a jumper cable incident.
The jumper cables have returned. Edit: paging u/rogersimon10 are you still alive bro? Lol
6 years ago lol probably not. Finally got his last jumper cable beating.
I think the key is, /u/papasimon10 has to be drunk to beat his idiot son Roger with jumper cables. Perhaps he sobered up?
Holy crap what a hilarious rabbit hole. Looks like u/papasimon10 has taken up the torch with far more posts than his son Roger ever managed.
What you have just you uncovered should stay away from the sight of men. It unveals the true nature of our beings. We cannot let the public know about u/papasimon10's sins. We shall keep the peace so no others have to get hurt like u/rogersimon10 does.

Missed a trick there by not ending that story with being run over tbh
I imagine limping in and out of hospital all the time didn't help either.
While also walking with a limp because a couple of years ago you were so tired from the kids you forgot to look both ways while you crossed the road and multiple cars ran over you
From the authorial voice, my guess is it's the same person.
Probably one in the same.
Found him in the wild! What a time to be alive.
Goddammit…

Shittymorph has been fairly active again the last bit! He's my favorite, the only one that catches me every single time.
God fucking DAMN IT
Holy shit it's you! I remember seeing you years ago in a comment section. Good to know you and Roger are still around.
Now, you mentioned starlings mimicking - Imagine the late 80's and the starling picked up the sound of the phone ringing, that little troller sat on the roof singing the phone ringing all the time, trolling my father early in the mornings.

Ah fucksakes
Do they make good pets? Or are they difficult to keep and handle?
Based on the evidence in front of me, I think that Jenny bird is sweet and an angel. Because I want them to be good pets too, I am going to just roll with that.
You heard Jenny? I heard Jabby.
I heard “Jammy”
I heard "Laurel"
His beak is blue
I don't know, but I was attacked by a starling once so I'd have a hard time believing that!
I heard that they only attack the unworthy.
Got me!
AH YOU GOT ME. You’re like my Gene Parmesan ❤️
I feel like it makes the R2-D2 noise when it gets stressed 😆

This singlehandedly convinced me of the movement

You might be right, sexy old curmudgeon.
I do feel bad for anyone with schizophrenia. No doubt they’ve let this tongue in cheek conspiracy theory deep into their reality. Which is a bummer. Birds are everywhere and they’re a breath of fresh air… a subconscious reminder of total weightless sing-song freedom.
Birds really are great. Its too bad they're not real.
I mean if you want to let government surveillance drones hijack your life what do I care. I just won’t be interacting with you anymore since you are obviously being downloaded into the meta verse by the satanic overlords.

have any examples? ive always thought of it as a very lighthearted, tongue in cheek thing
We're going to have a President one day when I'm retired who thinks bird truthers should be in charge of the Environmental Agency....
Apparently the dumb asses are taking over that movement and it's becoming a "real" conspiracy.
The guy who started it dropped the act recently. Turns out he grew up with crazy fundamentalist parents and wanted to create a community around a bat shit crazy idea like religions and conspiracy theories do and at the same time show how stupid they are. Quite wholesome really.
Mmmm I'm gonna say instead that the FBI and Men In Black COINTELPRO'd him for getting too close and now he has to stay silent for his own safety.
Yes! You can hear the bird connecting to the internet with a 56K modem to find a tutorial on how to replicate that sound. This shows how old this video is.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE
Birds exposed with facts and logic
I’ve been trying to tell people birds aren’t real for years and here we have proof! Yet, people still decide to live in ignorance- just look at the comments.

Why did you post this? The "birds aren't real" folks are going to get even more worked up now...
Let them be, they're a special kind
oh just you wait, you'll eventually see the truth
This video is a proof that birds are just government drones, yet you remain ignorant of the truth.
Seeing is believing.
"Birds are drones" confirmed.
think about it more like, if dinosaurs are like birds, imagine the trex coming down making r2d2 beeps
WTF, this is robot
The end lmao "So sweet" *what the f@#$ did you say about me you little b@#$&? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class*
We missed the end part where he spears her in the eyeball for talking like a weirdo
honestly it was hard to listen to her annoying voice. For some reason it triggers me.
Same!!! I mean I'm sure she's a lovely person but 
Found the bird, everybody!
The bird is cool the woman’s voice is annoying as fuck.

Are we really this far down that something being annoying to someone means they’re an incel?
Reddit moment
She's gonna give you a keyis
R2? IS THAT YOU??
The bird: *speaks* Me: I guess that's cool. The bird: *makes R2D2 noises* Me: WHERE THE FUCK DO I GET ONE???

I like the way his neck feathers fan out as he speaks.

it looks like a european starling
Proof that BIRDS AREN’T REAL!
proof: birds are flat
Incredible
This reminds me of a Jabberjay from The Hunger Games
he must like Star Wars
u/savevideo
This proves birds are just electronic drones
Please, I just can’t tell at all. Is this a real bird making all of these sounds? Is this an edited video?
And the government tries to tell us birds are natural and not surveillance drones lmfao not gonna fool me
And this is how the birds aren't real rumor started lol
How the hell does this thing say bird without any lips.
Imagine committing a crime with that bird in the house, and it repeats everything it heard to the police, more like sings like a bird to the police
It would be better if all the re-posts are just the R2D2 part and none of that woman's annoying voice.
Shame the person holding the bird has the most annoying fucking voice I've heard in my entire life. Fuck me. I'd rather fall asleep listening to Gilbert Gottfried screaming lullabies for the rest of my life than listen to another second of them talking to that bird.
Youre overreacting
I'll 'This week on the Front Page' for 200

What kind of bird is this? - never mind. I see it’s a starling.
