As a crazy bird lady, this picture makes me squeal and nom. Baby birds are so obvious in their dinosaurity (shut up that's a word ok), I just want to cuddle them and then let them wreak havoc on a private island somewhere.
I am sorry but even baby flamingos are ugly. I can't stand those nasty birds, or maybe I just associate them with those plastic versions on lawns in Florida.
@ManofReason: Huh. I've always thought there was something inherently adorable in an ugly little baby bird (or other animal). They're all newly-formed, or unformed, as the case may be, and vulnerable. But what do you expect from a penguino?
@beastybeatsy: When 2 baby flamingos were born in the Boston zoo last year, my bf took me to see them. It honestly took every once of restraint not to steal them.
I saw this last night, randomly. I never watch Letterman, but this is so worth it.
Spoiler for those who want to enjoy this without context: these are the winners of their high school's annual bird calling contest.
I really wanted to give the brace-faced one a hug when she said she was spending her summer taking advanced math classes at the community college. She was so serious! Bless her heart.
I'm afraid of large birds. I saw one of these at the LA Zoo when I was a kid and it seriously fucked with my head. Thing has a beak that could snap your wrist off. That ain't right.

Second, I think this bird has better moves than I do.
