Do you find birds funny?

Birds are def amusing. Their jerky little movements. Their hopping and head tilts. And then they just fly away like its normal to fly thru the air or something.

As do I. Turkeys are also quite hilarious.

Peacocks are delightfully pompous.

I would say they are quite interesting none the less.

In my old village, there was this petting zoo kind of thing, housing a peacock and a turkey, among many other animals. This male turkey was particularly cranky most of the time, and he really disliked the peacock. The peacock was a lot more carefree, and would frequently fly over the fence (cuz he could) and just roam around outside, though he never went very far from the pen.
One day, he had flown over the fence again, and the turkey went to the fence to keep him out, puffing himself up as turkeys do, and not allowing the peacock to return. But in the meantime, behind the turkey, there were two black swans, who were actually in the process of plucking out a couple of his tailfeathers. Strangely, the turkey did not turn around to attack the swans, and their teasing only contributed to his anger toward the peacock.

According to Grzimek's encyclopedia of animals, a fight between a peacock and a turkey will usually end badly for the turkey, because the peacock is both physically stronger, and doesn't recognise a turkey's display of submission (that would make another turkey stop fighting). Luckily for this turkey, the peacock was not an aggressive type.

Not usually, but I find it rather amusing how they jerk their heads so quickly.

Tom, my pet turkey likes to harass everyone, chasing them and cutting them off while pecking at their legs. He also enjoys flying to about head-height and landing on a person's shoulders, digging at them with his claws. Turkeys can be brutal.

Why yes, I do, when they fall over.
