Mwa ha ha! Happy Halloween! To me, the amateurnithologist, there's nothing spookier or more appropriate for the season than birds. Why? Well, basically because birds fit every mood or season for me. You could say I'm
CRAZY for birds! Now, like the mad (amateur) scientist I am, I will subject you to the most creeptastic spooktacular bird .gifs I could gather from BBC Nature's 1998 bird doc, The Life of Birds.
Boo! This haunted hawk is a perfect example of bird getting into the
spirit of the season! What's that? Not enough bird skeleton to scare you? How about this-
Now that's what I'm talking about! What's going on in this moving image? I'd tell you, but isn't it more frightening not to know?
Know what else is scary? Dinosaur birds! Also, drowning. This imagine deviously combines your two greatest fears!
And what is the only thing prehistoric birds fear? Gigantic ancient eagles! No, it's not silly looking at all, it's super scary. Believe me, if you were there you'd be scared.
Enormous flocks of birds have been scary since, at least, The Birds. Imagine if these guys all decided they wanted to peck you to death or something. You must be positively quaking in your boots by now, so I won't go into any further detail. This is a family blog.
You know who's not afraid of giant masses of birds? Sir Attenborough! He's the hero of this grisly tale. Would you make it out alive? Well, that's it for spooky .gifs for this year. I decided to relent and let you off easy, lest all my readers be scared
to death and my blog becomes a
ghost town. I mean, more than it already is.
In the mood for more .gifs? They may not be spooky, but they are spookily high quality and interesting! Parts
1 and
2 available here! I hope you've enjoyed our scary bird showcase this last month. May all your trick-or-treaters have bird related costumes!
See you next fall! Eeh hee hee hee hee!
