This is Friend. He is a sizzle (silkie frizzle) that belongs to my neighbor, and we have no idea why his colors are like this. I’ll be honest, I did not know silkies came in wild-type coloration, but here we are.

oh to be a round little bird and to say beep from time to time

Why do people hate turkey vultures I mean look at them

They’re super curious and clever and have that sense of innocent mischief you’d expect from a puppy.

They’re pretty much solar powered and they assume The Stance while recharging

CUTE FLOOFY NECK FEATHERS THAT MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THEY’RE WEARING A TURTLE NECK!!

Since they lack the hooked talons of their raptor cousins, these lil dudes really can only use their beak to investigate stuff, so they just softly nibble things (until they decide that what they’re nibbling feels super fun to take apart and play with).

Plus their scientific name means Golden Purifier because of their golden brown feathers and the fact that they clean up all the nastiest bits of corpses.

They’re just.

Such Good Birds.
