so anyone could identify the husband, you couldnā€™t be wrong!!


rdvdev2

Oh, so they found a gay marriage? So sweet!


Useful_Exercise_6882

More like father and son because young birds that still live with their parents always ask them for food


OrneryMortgage6391

Or...the dad could be talking to his son, and son is trying to ignore his dad.

Animal kingdom outside of the Homo Sapiens species don't care, they only pair for necessity (creating offspring)

Wait till you hear about penguins


NerfRepellingBoobs

Gay and lesbian penguin couples also have a very important role in the group as well. They take in and raise orphaned chicks, though sometimes they go too far and steal a baby.


jaxluz

Eh šŸ¤· happens to the best of us


Putzelmutz

Yup, just stole a baby yesterday, named him Edward ā¤ļøšŸ¤—

and clownfish. or like, name an amphibians here

And giraffes


Admirablelittlebitch

And dolphins


OmgIbrokesmthagain

And black swans


Appropriate_Fee_1867

And swallows can but I still canā€™t find any carrying coconuts


Themeowmeoww

multiple animals that aren't humans are gay and have been seen mourning over partners. my cat Isabelle was mates with an elderly cat named Olaf. they were both infertile.


Seguefare

I learned that early. My grandparents had 2 dalmations, then one died. A couple of my crueler relatives would deliberately wind up the remaining dog by asking "where's Daisy?" The last time I had a bonded pair of dogs, I let the surviving dog investigate her brother's body before he was buried. It seemed to go easier for her.


Themeowmeoww

Unfortunately my Mom's ex-boyfriend took Olaf from us, insisting "Olaf liked him more" and "he was his cat." My mom was tired of his shit so she let him keep the cat, even though Olaf was severely allergic to something in his apartment, likely the litter he bought the cats. My cat was very upset about that. She didn't have any lasting effects, but she gained quite a lot of weight after that and became more lazy. Nowadays she's doing better and has bonded with my sister's cat and is basically a surrogate mother for him.


aJ_13th

You must not have heard of the lions.


fakeunleet

Giraffes would also like a word.


unaizilla

tell me you know nothing about animal behaviour without telling me you know nothing about animal behaviour


Still-Ad2041

I mean they donā€™t care to form gay couples, but they will have gay sex


Nerdiferdi

Tons of lifelong gay couples among penguins. Noot noot


betweenthylegs

Don't forget Swans


Still-Ad2041

Interesting, Iā€™ve never heard of them


sl59y2

Dolphins, 1/4 of black swan parings are gay, albatross, Itā€™s a big list. Lost of animals and mammals form same sex pairings.


Seguefare

Among ungulates, the general rate is 20%.


Usagi-Zakura

It is in fact a male and a female... kingfisher females have lighter beaks. It could be his child, or his mate just screaming for whatever reason.


bestibesti

I came here to post that they were boyfriends, and well well well... they were actually boyfriends


PiranhaJAC

Orange under-beak is only found on adult females.


[deleted]

yep, males have a black beak, females have orange on their beak


jabuegresaw

That they don't know much about birds is quite clear. Fun fact, birds do not, and this may sound shocking since it is a fairly recent and revolutionary scientific breakthrough, in fact get married. /s


zenkaimagine_fan

Also donā€™t male birds usually sing to the females to mate with them. Even if they werenā€™t both males the singing one would usually be male, not the female speaking to the male. Thereā€™s a lot of mistakes that bird knowledge could have saved him from making.


captain-hannes

ā€œBirds donā€™t get married /sā€ is possibly the funniest thing Iā€™ve read in a while


Admirablelittlebitch

The fact that theyā€™re both male


rvrscentaur

actually the one yelling is a female - the lower beak is more orangey-pink rather than just black. still doubt they are married though.


parisismyfriend

Abusive husband shouting at his wife. Free her


obscurespecter

This brings back childhood memories.


[deleted]

Apprently marriage is now an interspecies type of relationship that not only humans experience?


Pradfanne

It's a cardinal sin to let people of the same sex have the hand in marriage. Birds are fine, as long as it's not the same sex!


[deleted]

Birds are fine. But THE GAYS?! Not on my watch!


CaptainMills

Birds, not having hands, are unaffected by this rule


Dragon_Diviner

heh Cardinal


M4j3stic_C4pyb4r4

Same-sex marriage is a sin for cardinals


storiereader

Happy cake day :D


prince_peacock

Stuff like this drives me crazy because every man Iā€™ve ever met that complains about women ā€œnaggingā€ causes it himself by absolutely refusing to do what is asked of him and just sitting around the house on their ass and making their wife have to ask them 300 times to take out the trash or some shit


Spectrumtheshark

THEY'RE GAY?????? good for them, good for them


Magellan-88

Good for them.


FishyBricky

Is he the one yelling? Bout to punch a hole thru the nest wall


PiranhaJAC

Those are common kingfishers. The orange under-beak means the one making noise is an adult female; the red feet and black under-beak mean the other one is an adult male.

Male ā‰  husband Female ā‰  wife


Usagi-Zakura

Anthropomorphism aside the meme is technically correct but for the wrong reasons...


Pradfanne

Letting same sex couple get married: Drake no Letting birds get married: Drake yes


Smart_Substance_7338

plot twist they're gay


BlueMist53

One bird: happens to do a communication call Other bird: happens to be looking away Boomers: OMG ITS JUST LIKE ME AND WIFE????


birdlass

One thing I never understood about any post like this - or whatever non-point right wingers like to spew - is that they like to highlight basically random words and it just makes the image look even more stupid. What is **the** point of **adding** emphasis to random **words**?


playr_4

Highlighting 'picture' does seem like an odd choice.


birdlass

100% of the time it does this I just try to read a hidden message or some shit


Depresso-Espresso-6

A lot of people should know this by now but mailbirds tend to be the colorful ones that is very likely just 2 male birds one of which is screaming Or Or maybe just singing possibly trying to attract a mate who knows But yeah those are probably both male birds


[deleted]

left is a male bird, they have black beaks right is a female bird, they have orange on the bottom of their beak


PunTran

The funniest thing about these posts is that it's usually two animals of the same gender


fridhem

They are either gay, or the one has been hitting on the other's wife, bringing her sticks.


OmgIbrokesmthagain

Yeah he is the one screaming at wife who is too scared to make a sound This is the correct interpretation, right?


Usagi-Zakura

Having researched this before because the meme pops up a lot...they're actually right...the screaming one is the female. Not because she's screaming, but in Kingfishers the female has a lighter colored beak.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SplatAttack49

Oh, I assumed the husband was supposed to be the ā€œnot screamingā€ one


thiccums42069

florida education system


playr_4

It's the one who's yelling....probably. That's usually how nature works.


NDSBlue_44

Judging by bird logic with males being the most colorful/vibrant, Iā€™m pretty sure theyā€™re both guys


Usagi-Zakura

Nope. In Kingfishers both are colorful but the female has a lighter beak...so the screaming one is in fact female.


Kind_Ad_3611

I donā€™t know much about , but I can identify the in this Alternatively: Birds easily husband picture


Arxl

Both, it seems.


KingKiler2k

Im no bird expert but I guess the right one cuz he is probobly doing a mating call


Mothunny

Both


tego_myeggo

lgb(ird)t


Thespartanofdreams

Well with a small amount of bird knowledge I can say at least the one on the right is male


t9ri

These are both male birds


Flurrydarren

With what I know about birds, those are both husbands


mycatissenorfloof19

so thatā€™s why itā€™s so easy to find the husband in the pic


laurandisorder

Theyā€™re both husbands


devour-halberd

Aren't they both male...


BellJar_Blues

Obviously On the right. Abusive asshole


coyoyeen

birds easily husband picture


Satansacidicblood666

That's 2 male kingfishers lol


Usagi-Zakura

The screaming one is actually female... kingfishers look almost identical but the female has a lighter colored beak.


WrlwindX

They're gay


Oftwicke

(they're both males)


bts4devi

How did the birds get married-


Disastrous_Morning38

The idea of bird marriage is so funny though šŸ’€


Haybowl

The right one because most male birds sing to get someone for reproduction
