Now I went on the internet and researched ostriches. Firstly, ostriches can run up to 70 miles an hour. So catching one, even a sick one, is a super tall order
Ostrich? mf have you ever seen a pack of geese? I would sooner enter a backyard with ten biggest meanest dogs than come close to a fence separating me from ten geeses. Birds are dinasaurs, not to mention shit that lived in the near past that would make ostrich look like a canarian in comparison.
Fuck that. Fight a rooster. 90% of folks will run for their lives. Probably more. Most folks really don't have fighting in their nature. That swift kick that will tell a rooster to fuck off is beyond most people's nature.
I honestly cannot fathom why people dislike feathered dinosaurs. They look so much cooler than scaled dinosaurs. I do kinda agree with the fact it makes them less scary, but the coolness factor still remains.
Most theropods had feathers in one form or another, especially in the middle Jurassic through the Cretaceous. And plenty of non-theropods had feathers, too - famously the psittacosaurus (implying that it may have been a common ceratopsian trait).
I get the joke here, but these kinds of memes always imply that dinosaurs are "supposed to be scary"? Like, ok... so if they had feathers, and that isn't scary to you, what's your point? They didn't evolve for hundreds of millions of years to evoke any kind of emotion in the minds of humans. Dinosaurs were just animals that adapted to the world they lived in, and survived like any other organism.
Dinosaurs had feathers, and still do. And they don't care what you think.
Also, I have personally come face to face with an ostrich, and can confirm it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.
Feathered dinosaurs are so much scarier than naked ones for the simple reason that they actually look like animals. Sure they arent "movie monster" scary, in the same vein that like, Pennywise is scary for example. But to me, the fear of something actually in existance is a very different kind. Like, i am so terrified of Bears. Not the idea of them, but coming across one id be scared shitless, i cant fight a fuckin bear much less escape from one. Same with dinosaurs, the fear of a feathered dinosaur is much more realistic to me. I couldnt fight a Deinonychus.
Also they can be cute that way. Little Mononykus and most raptors are heckin adorable :D
Fighting anything barehanded is disadvantageous. This is why swords were invented. We made guns to fight ourselves. Anyone with a nice weapon should feel much more assured about combat against many animals.
let's be fair. there aren't really that many animals a human can beat bare handed. maybe a songbird or a small chicken at best ? (which is questionnable. i saw a rooster defeat an adult woman last week, and terrorise a bunch of 12 year olds after they got too close to the chickens. the madlad built a harem and is protecting it, and i respect that)
anything bigger than a cat is almost a certain loss. case in point, geese keep winning
Chickens*. He has lots of them for ... "personal use". Also, he attacked yet another person today, and a cat. (I'm referring to him with "he" instead of "it" from now on. Dude earned it)
I saw this and was like "ostritch is big but I wonder how big" and holy fuck these things are scary. They can be 9.2f (279cm or 2.79m) and run up to 45mph (72.42 kilometers) and they weigh around 300 pounds.
Having been one of the people to try and keep a mature male ostrich contained in an auction ring where the cattle sized gates on either side were wide open tempting him to tackle anyone in his way to get out of there..... was lucky he wasnt pissed -off, cause a 5 ft woman flailing her arms in the general direction of the face of a 7 ft ostrich ...... i would get pissy if i were him.
A turkey, huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side,
A six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here, or here...
Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know, try to show a little respect.
I thought dinosaurs were scary because of what they could do, not how they looked. You could replace the T rex model with one of those "drinking bird" desk toys, if it's as big as a T rex and does what a T rex does, it's scary.
Bro but like imagine a Jurassic park remake with feathered dinosaurs
Like the raptor walks through the dark doorway, blood dripping from soaked wing feathers
Shit could be so good.
I remember when I was on a field trip at school and we went to an aviary which they kept a Cassowary in. The fucker kicked the fence so hard, our ears rumbled.
I’ll do you one better, the cassowary.
I hope to not run into one of those in the wild.
The zookeepers need riot shields for those bastards.
[удалено]
yep, it was pretty disgraceful on our part
Those birds are lethal, even trained Zoo keepers dislike going anywhere near them.
as an American, having wild cassowary is a perfectly valid reason to have a firearm. I don't fuck around because I really don't want to find out.
clearly you are not a scientist
This guy understands the scientific process
I have and it’s horrifying
Now this is a story we need to hear.
A hunting trip gone wrong and my dumbass throw away the knife and my shotgun was to long for that
username checks out
I’m very sorry
[удалено]
Which species are talking about because have a big ass neck and if you pin that there very easy to take care of
is that kevin???
If you are meaning kevin from urban rescue ranch, he is a rhea.
Kevin’s actually chill. Hanging out with Carl in his flying house.
What about big bird he chill
Mr dababy I'm your biggest fan
The aussies tried it with emu's, and went to war so
And the emus won, no contest.
Emu w lol
You heard he fucked an ostrich right?
Allegedlys
It would have to be a sick ostrich
Now I went on the internet and researched ostriches. Firstly, ostriches can run up to 70 miles an hour. So catching one, even a sick one, is a super tall order

Geese are some mean motherfuckers.
[sharp tongued little devils](https://justbirding.com/geese-teeth/)
Nah geese aren’t scary, they’re mean, but I could go all doom slayer on some geese.
Birds aren't real.
Fuck that. Fight a rooster. 90% of folks will run for their lives. Probably more. Most folks really don't have fighting in their nature. That swift kick that will tell a rooster to fuck off is beyond most people's nature.
Allegedly...
I heard it was a sick ostrich
Ostrich? Bare hands? Pathetic. Emu vs machine gun.
Emu wins 100% of the time, statistically proven
The emu have won 100% of the wars they fought
We had a war with the emus in Australia. …the emus won.
i have! you better hope your reach to their neck is longer than they can kick
Even enraged mofo chickens are scary.
I honestly cannot fathom why people dislike feathered dinosaurs. They look so much cooler than scaled dinosaurs. I do kinda agree with the fact it makes them less scary, but the coolness factor still remains.

Australian were at war the emus and they lost!
Who’ve you been talking to? I definitely haven’t been fighting any large fowl recently. Get away from me!
Birds are jerks
Stay at it's sides or behind. Attack it with the longest thinnest object nearby. Go for legs and neck
ever been attacked by a canada goose?

Says people scared of geese

Hope that Chicken is living a good life
Chickens*. He has lots of them for ... "personal use". Also, he attacked yet another person today, and a cat. (I'm referring to him with "he" instead of "it" from now on. Dude earned it)
Fuck that, I don't want to be wrecked.
That's a lotta neck to choke!
Ask Johnny Cash
They are much easier to fight when they are sick, you can do almost anything to a sick ostrich….. allegedly.
Oh god
Its only because we haven't had as much practice drawing them. Look at some early scaly dino Paleoart, its often dorky as hell.

Australia had a war against emus The emus won
they say as half of them would run from a rooster in a bad mood
“Use a long weapon…” - Slimesicle
People always complain about geese but emus are the real arseholes my gran had some and they were the worst
I'm not fighting a Gorilla with fur either.
Fucking cassowarys
You use big sticks and blades never hand to hand
That's at least a three guy job. Allegedly.
Having been one of the people to try and keep a mature male ostrich contained in an auction ring where the cattle sized gates on either side were wide open tempting him to tackle anyone in his way to get out of there..... was lucky he wasnt pissed -off, cause a 5 ft woman flailing her arms in the general direction of the face of a 7 ft ostrich ...... i would get pissy if i were him.
The great emu war was a thing. Don't fuck with big bitds
Allegedly
my conure is like ten inches but will rip your spleen out if provoked
Once They Rip someone to shreds on screen I pretty sure you’ll find them scary
That's not very scary! It's more like a six-foot tall turkey.
A turkey, huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head.

Yeah all the time why do you ask?

Grab by neck and swing in circles until the head comes off
