That bird has some pretty sweet moves.

Crazy Axe Wielding Love Bird Attacks!

Jeff has also taught his bird to:
- Fetch
- Put Toys away
- Fight Dirty

He should teach his bird to clean the table.

No that bird needs to be the second man in a pickpocketing con

At first I was thinking "any bird can be tough with an axe in its beak" but then when it climbed up on the dinosaur and started biting its head it was clear this was one badass bird.

Will no one decry the dinosaur on dinosaur violence? They must join forces against the MAMMALS!

I know all the stuff it attacks is smaller than it (except for the brontosaurus, I suppose), but I still would not want to fuck with this bird.

Kind of gives you a good idea of what it would be like to fight a Velociraptor Deinonychus; i.e. terrifying, brutal and short. And that's without the battle axe.

except for the brontosaurus, I suppose

Excuse me, but that is clearly a Brachiosaurus. A Love Bird fighting a brontosaurus, would be ridiculous, as the brontosaurus is a classification mistake these days!

My cat would not only ignore the dinosaurs, he would flee from the bird. BIRD WIN!

I guess birds do use tools. Like idiots.

That ax is upside down, shithead.

Hey, what are you looking at me like that for? Okay, you stay back. Stay back stay back STAY BACK OW MY NEC

Birds are cool. I knew this. Now you do too.

That bird obviously has played too many violent videogames.

And so Bunny Ultramod learns that an axe has both a choppy side and a smashy side.

Would it be so wrong just to call it a brontosaurus, kind of like a nickname? "Brachiosaurus" gives me none of the feelgoods that I get from "brontosaurus." Firefox's spell-check doesn't even recognize "brachiosaurus." Can we get behind this? It'll be a favor for everyone who grew up on the Flintstones.

I love the "I did that right, didn't I? " look the brid gives after stepping on the shark driver. Classic.

If my mother's cockatiel ever had access to an axe, I would have been in deep shit. That little shitheel hates me.

"Shark driver"?! That's Mighty Max!

Although "shark driver" would look cool on a business card, I admit...

Birds are violent little monsters. You can tell by their beady eyes.

I'm actually way more impressed by the bird putting its toys away. That bird has a better grasp of the English language than most teenagers do!

I am reminded of Hatebeak, the Death Metal / Grindcore / Thrash band whose lead singer is an African Gray Parrot
