Day 71: Baby bird



I have spent whole caturday drinking painkillers, sleeping and then taking some more painkillers. Will it ever end? During one short painless period, I doodled random baby bird - or "that's one fat bird" as my bf proclaimed.

It's reminds me of cuckoo bird, it's funny how it raises it chicks, lazy bastard.
"The naked, altricial chick hatches after 11–13 days. It methodically evicts all host progeny from host nests. It is a much larger bird than its hosts, and needs to monopolize the food supplied by the parents. The chick will roll the other eggs out of the nest by pushing them with its back over the edge. If the host's eggs hatch before the cuckoo's, the cuckoo chick will push the other chicks out of the nest in a similar way. At 14 days old, the Common Cuckoo chick is about three times the size of an adult Eurasian Reed Warbler." wiki

And the last Bird theme for this week is: THE CLAW  (talon, I had to use that gif somewhere :D)

  1. To je možda najgrozniji način opstanka u životnjskom svijetu. Jasno mi je da najjači idu dallje, ali ne na ovakav način.
    Btw. Fatso bird! It doesn't even fit in the nest. =D
