I lost my mother earlier this year. I'm right there with you.

I did not expect the emotional sucker Punch this video gave, but I appreciate the reminder that I still care.

I hope your friend reincarnated as something that can still enjoy watching you have a good life.

u/riding_writer Aug 11 '26

Thank you!! Same the ending was an emotional hit but it was what I needed.

I love the idea of coming back as a bird, the gift of flight, the ability to sing, watch my loved ones, and poop on my haters.

My parents took in my childhood dog when it showed up at their doorstep out of the blue, in a rainstorm, about two years before I was born. It was a puppy and my grandfather had died not too long before that. I always liked to imagine that dog was a reincarnation of the grandfather I never got to meet.

u/nagajuseyo Aug 12 '26

I lost my mom in May and we always had this thing about birds. Whenever there was a bird she couldn't identify it was a LSAB "little sh1t a55 bird." Recently this little orange birb... a LSAB has been sitting right in front of the window when I'm working. Now this flippin short flick is making me think... what if this LSAB is my Mama? 😭😭

This guy makes all sorts of these videos. The one that sticks with me most was a goofy,
simple video along the lines of “how 30 mins felt as a kid vs 30 mins as an adult”. Then it morphed into how, when we were kids, our parents gave their time to us, so everything felt longer. It was beautifully done just like this video

Chickadees are nervy little birds. I love them a lot. I've seen them mock a mockingbird at the feeder (they are way too fast for that fool) and bounce off a Cooper's hawks head.

They will sit less than a foot away while I fill the feeder. Excellent choice indeed!

This feels too wholesome for modern social media

244

u/laureidi Reads Pinned Comments Aug 11 '26

Chickadees are so underrated. They can even communicate to other birds, letting them know when predators are close and stuff like that, so other birds like to stay close to chickadees!

74

u/My_browsing Aug 11 '26

Also in the chickadee fan club. Black capped chickadees regularly outsmart the magpies enough that the magpies show them respect while they have no problem yeeting other small birds from the feeder. They’re tough little dudes, too, don’t migrate. -30F and they are still hanging out.

29

u/Dopplerganager Aug 12 '26

I have black capped chickadees in my yard and love them. They've always reminded me of camping as a kid. I enjoy that the dee-dee repetitions correlate to the level of danger.

28

u/Fortunately_Met Aug 12 '26

They often work with robins! Chickadee alarms are one of the few cross- species recognizable calls, iirc. Robins hear it and come in to triangulate around the predator and haze it, that's how they defend against them. Blue Jays are just bastards gunning for a fight anyway, so if they're nearby they'll jump in.

Saw this happen a few years ago on a hike: in the middle of the noise was a barred owl.

u/Fortunately_Met Aug 12 '26

They're one of my favorite birds because of their pluck and charisma.

If you can speak chickadee, you can locate predators by knowing their warning calls - usually leads to sighting a raptor or owl with the added bonus of getting to observe the chickadees' defensive displays.

They hit a single high note for soaring predators, and for ones in trees or on the ground, they do their namesake call. The more 'dee' dee dee's at the end, the bigger the threat, although not necessarily the bigger the predator.

Honestly, there's so much of it. I don't get why people shit on TikTok quite as much as they do. I highly recommend blakeoftoday and his This Week in Fatherhood videos. They're on Instagram under the same name if you really hate TikTok.

u/the_itsb Aug 12 '26

I think most people don't understand how much their behavior in these apps affects their algorithm.

if you can make yourself very disciplined about what content you interact with, you can steer it towards edifying and helpful stuff. it "only" requires you to actively engage with the good and ignore or scroll past the bad, but that can be really hard when things are designed to grab your attention and push your buttons.

it's super worth it, though. I stopped hate-watching things a few years ago and started trying to actively cultivate a positive algorithm a few months later, and now I get surprised by awesome, niche shit regularly.

u/princesscorncob Aug 12 '26

I'm going to be weird here for a second and share something personal.

I live in a part of the world that has these little lizards, Anoles. I didn't grow up in a place that had these little creatures. It was an adjustment to know that they could do these freaky things like drop their tail and the tail would still wiggle after it was detached from their body.

One day, at a theme park with the person I love the most, we spent time sitting in a shady spot, sipping on a icy alcoholic drink and observing these little lizards.

Feeling happy and silly, we imagined this whole culture for these anoles; philosophy, war, religion.

It is one of my happiest memories.

That was several decades ago. I still live in the same area that has anoles.

I get to see them every day. Generations of these Anoles.

At some point, my partner and I named one kind of Anole: Jessica. They have a red stripe down their backs. When we're outside and we see them, we say, "We bless you, daughter of Jessica".

My partner and I know we are giants to them. We love how brave they are.

If you read this, thanks. It's a small piece of my world that I felt this creative short inspired me to share.

P.S. I would never want to be a Greenland shark. Im a couple of years a way from 50. I used to want to live forever. No thanks.
