omg this is adorable scientists set up an experiment where birds could request to video chat with each other turns out birds love to video chat with their friends https://nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/21/science/parrots-video-chat-facetime.html…

I feel like there's a bird-based social media joke in here somewhere

I'll admit I didn't have "social network of online-obsessed video chatting birds" on my cyberpunk-is-now bingo card

As someone who has had a pet bird, this does not surprise me at all.

I had no idea birds were so social. Tbh makes me a bit sad for them living alone. Maybe we need bird parks for people to bring their birds to interact.

Truth. My MIL will watch our budgie if we’re away, next to her own. I played a short video clip of my bird for my MIL’s bird and she immediately began chatting with the picture

It'd be interesting to see which animals exhibit this behavior and which don't
