Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

Polo arlequin. Funnily enough some old ones end up looking like this when people replace damaged panels by whatever random colour they find at the junkyard.

That reminds me, I haven’t played my Switch in a while.

It's not a phase, mom! This is who I am!

I just read an article that said about that bird that god used it as a debug target to check if all the parts of a bird where working. i'm an atheist but to me that is the best argument for god yet.

It looks like a Pokemon! Also ebird is such a 90's sounding website, I love it.

Nintendo about to sue this bird out of existence

Looks like a Nintendo switch.

I’m pretty sure the switch is based off the bird..

This bird is ready to attend a masquerade ball.
