Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.
-
This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
-
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

Looks like a juvenile, too, based on the color of the beak and the general gawky teenager energy.
As an expert in bird identification, I can tell you with confidence...
That is indeed a bird.
I don't have a good comment. I looked at the bird.
Fuck you. That is so accurate! 😆
That is one nice ass bird.
Thank you for your contribution.
That is a beautiful bird
…hey wait… where’s my wallet?
I did look and it's indeed a bird. Thank you.

It's either a bishop or a cardinal.
Acquiring bird
The bird pictured is a bird that is good to look at.
"i shouldn't have to pick up my own food, where are the parents"-- deeply embittered Northern Cardinal fledgling
PS-- nice shot
That whole adjustment from "food gets put in my beak when I raise it" to "Food is at my feet and I lower my beak to pick it up" is a toughie.
Oh, I'm lookin ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm more serious about it than you. I'm watching that bird.
I can see your hands therefor you are not as serious about this as me.
That's a nice fuckin bird.
I did it.

That is a right fit bird
Points for being straightforward. We can’t always come up with a clever title. And yes, I looked. Thank you!
Consider your bird looked at. It is a good bird. Nice long tail feathers and good solid munching action. 8/10.
That bird is amazing.
Silly question: are they called cardinals because they look like they have huge hats?
I would be so excited if I saw this bird up close! What a cool bird with their little Mohawk, bright eye makeup and accents. Punk AF.
That’s one fit bird.
Precious creature.
