Oh Hi Bird Fans! I didn't see you come in. I was just sitting here, making some beautiful .gifs from Our Planet, the Netflix nature doc taking the world by storm. I was inspired by all the amazing bird action, and of course, by the friendly presence of one D. Attenborough, who we are... acquainted with. It's a great series, I highly recommend it. Alright, see you later! Oh.. wait, you're right, it WOULD make sense for me to share these great .gifs I made with you, along with some suggestions about when you might want to use them. Today we'll be focusing on the colorful manakins and birds of paradise from the first episode and the Jungles episode respectively, because, folks, there's a lot there.
Use this .gif (above) or a Red-capped Manakin: When you want to indicate that a humorous, sudden entrance has been made. Maybe replace your Kramer-from-Seinfeld sliding into the room .gif because Seinfeld hasn't been on TV for a million years, and Kramer is super cancelled.
Use this .gif of a Black Sicklebill: to indicate a stretch or yoga pose (ex. I'm going to yoga after work [insert .gif here])
Alternate .gif use: "Weird flex, but ok"
Use this .gif of a Golden-collared Manakin: For athletic triumph, or when talking about parkour
Use this .gif of a Western Parotia for: #relationshipgoals
Use this .gif: When you've gotta flip it on them aka. go flip-mode
Use this .gif: When you're backing out of a situation. Perhaps a twitter thread or slack chat has taken a conversational turn that you are uncomfortable with, or, more literally, you are leaving a social gathering quickly and awkwardly.
Use this .gif: When you're really impressed by your look, you want to show off.
Use this .gif of Blue Manakins: when someone asks you how online dating is going
Alternate usage: when being mansplained-to on Twitter
For more great bird .gifs, click here, and for more Attenborough action (Actionborough?) try this. And watch the series on Netflix! We'll be back in a bit with more great .gifs

ReplyDeleteHello, in my research, creation and usage of gifs occupies an ambiguous legal space. In my use here, I am counting on the concept of 'fair use', as the .gifs are for entertainment/educational and non-commercial purposes. I am also attributing them clearly, which I think is ethical to do. That said, if Netflix told me I had to take this down, I would. Hope that answers your question- in essence, it is not clearly not legal, but you can't count on it to be completely allowed either.
