“Baby parrots look just like dinosaurs,” reads the caption of this photo on Imgur. What do you think? If we could enlarge this baby to fifty times its size, could you imagine it chasing a Jeep while Jeff Goldblum says “must go faster”? Or could we just distract it with a cuttlefish bone the size of an RV?

Somehow the beak doesn’t look like it’s part of the bird…which kinda enhances the vicious dino-predator vibe…
But he’s a cute vicious dino-predator!
He looks so helpless! He looks too sweet to chase anyone. *smooch* on the leetle head?
My poor brain is confused. Can someone explain the hover text? Why do you need a shark to catch a cuttle fish?
I’m as confused as you are 6rabbits.
Sorry! Next post will be less confusing.
If it has bones the size of an RV, you need some awfully big bait..?
You’re gonna need a bigger boat…
Is this one big enough?
I think they are famous enemies, like cats and dogs, or coyotes and roadrunners…
Sqwuaking with glee as flesh is torn from,bone,soulless black eyes gaze out from a gore encrusted visage.
*snort and wt heck?! 😀 * CLEARLY, Murkle46 you had the same Monday morning work day as I had… 😉 *insert Yoda meme relating to much anger within due to office stuff as I can’t seem to upload any small enough entity*
My computer died this morning. Luckily after I was finished with the important Monday-morning-send-to-the-bigwigs things. Help desk came and took it away, then was able to reboot it so brought it back after a little bit; they were gonna run some diagnostics after I left.
Computers – can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em.
Luke I am your supervisor.
I just snort-laffed in the Starbucks line.

Probably because of their powerful monkeyfeet, parrots are actually able to motor, whether climbing up the curtains or on the straightaways across the carpets. A friend of mine had a budgie who decided to opt out of flight for the most part, but who could scamper across the floors like a little blue bullet.
But have they figured out door-handles? 😀
My parrot can certainly motor on the floor – until his talons get caught in the carpet fibres, that is. Then he gets mad. VERY mad. Oh, and you never want to be the face sticking out of the neck hole of a shirt when your parrot gets its claws tangled in a button hole or on a stray thread.
My little boy looked just like that dinosaur when I acquired him. He had to stay with the breeder, in a warm incubator, until all of his feathers came in. They are such helpless wee babes at that stage! They aren’t perching yet, and can’t feed themselves, so you have to learn to spoon feed them. Those were special times. “Special” in the sense that I was usually covered in brownish birdie pablum every time the little bub shook his head during a feeding.
I want to shove a sweater over that beady little head like he’s a rescued chicken.

Awwwww, so adorable. I love baby parrots.
I wonder if dinosaurs roared, as imagined in the movies, or did they squawk like parrots? Somehow, a TRex going SQUAWWWWWKKKK! as he chases down his lunch seems a little absurd.
How can something so… NAKED, be cute? (Richard Gere in American Gigolo was NOT cute. Sinfully handsome? Yes. Swoon-worthy? Definitely. Distracting as all heck? Of course. But not cute.)
Bebbeh T-Rex great great great great (to the nth degree) descendant is absolutely cute as a button. But I agree that s/he needs a sweater, like those stylish, redunkulous “jumpers” worn by his/her rescued British cousins…
