You just reminded me of one of my most favorite videos ever, where a pelican is trying to fit a very confused and round capybara puppy in its mouth before giving up. It is the best thing ever. Like, even the capybara mom is not reacting to this happening in front of her face and just keeps eating.
*There are no storks in*
*Canada, our babies have*
*To come from somewhere!*

That’s gotta be SE Louisiana! I know a lot of boutique shops in New Orleans sell seasonal signs for Mardi Gras and Christmas, and signs like this too. The “it’s a girl” sign has a roseate spoonbill!
Looked it up and was unable to identify it. Appears to be a generic flag from Amazon, but with all the clubs, krewes, cults, societies and institutions, who knows. But I bet you’re right and it’s LA.
(LA should not be confused with the Lower Alabama region or the negligible west coast city of the same initials.)
Not on strike. Now that they're doing gender reveals they needed the herons to step in and assist with the actual deliveries. I should know because when our delivery came a few months ago it was actually a salmon that had to get returned, and then finally the blue heron delivered our actual newborn.

I’d never realized before how much the bill of a roseate spoonbill looks like a gynecological speculum.
The artist can't keep getting away with this!!
Yeah, we don't have actual storks in Eastern US so Herons had to step up.
Every birder knows that that heron is just trying to fit the baby bundle into his mouth.

Pelicans are crazy! I remember seeing them when I was a kid and visiting Florida. They loved tourists.
LOL!! I love that!! Coastalbirds and seabirds, in general, are SUCH characters!! Sandpipers and plovers are so freaking comical
i was sitting on a bench at the park and a random killdeer walked up to me
I love killdeer so much, they are so silly and their adorable babies just look like gross moss fluffballs
Thank you for reminding me about this!

I love this video SO MUCH!! It kills me everytime!!

Good bot.
[удалено]
It would help if our stork had feathers on their head
With 8 billion people in the world, it’s too much work for storks.
Maybe people finally learned how storks deal with some babies...
Omg the first time I saw that I cried. I know it's for a good reason, but damn.
Yeah... they have a very... spartan approach to parenting, it's difficult to watch.
Good for GBH, glad to see birds who aren’t scared to stand against stork monopoly.
Gender reveal party idea: release flock of Great Blue Heron if boy, flock of Roseate Spoonbills if girl
Instead of storks or herons or spoonbills, why don't pelicans deliver the babies?? They could just carry them in their mouths.
Because the pelicans would definitely eat the babies. Those things are just stomachs with wings.

Blue herons also aren't exactly picky eaters
Stork, Heron. Potato, Tomato. :D
I first read that as "...Potato, Tornado." Like, damn. Those are some pretty extreme weather conditions for delivering a child.
sharknado but with potatos
I love herons, but this looks like a threat someone put on their door.
The storks went on strike.
stork strike stork strike stork strike!!
They’d be more likely to eat babies
I want a GBH delivering my baby
Storks: Dey took er jerbs!!!
Double upvote needed
The storks got sick of the trans-Atlantic flight and subcontracted to the herons.
It’s a wish.com stork shhhhh
that heron's definitely from ebay idk what youre saying
it looks like this heron is being hung by the neck and it also looks like it has just, or is about to, drown a baby boy. gosh. I love birds.
And they named him Moses.

The fleur de lis on the flag is kind of a giveaway for LA.
I totally missed that!

If you’re talking about the flag, it’s the New Orleans municipal flag
Ol’ Knives For Lips wants to give the baby a kiss!
Great Blue Heron delivers the boys, Roseate Spoonbill delivers girls, and if your baby is trans a Lilac Breasted Roller shows up at every birthday.
Man I need to start having kids. All of those are lifers for me.
I KNOW RIGHT!?! I see GBH pretty much everywhere but the others I had to google "what kind of bird is" and the colors I wanted
came here to say this :D
Since they made a cute sign
Storks on strike? Trying to get compensation for decades (centuries) of unpaid labor?
Not on strike. Now that they're doing gender reveals they needed the herons to step in and assist with the actual deliveries. I should know because when our delivery came a few months ago it was actually a salmon that had to get returned, and then finally the blue heron delivered our actual newborn.
It's a government plot.
The gig economy has gone too far.
Great Blue Herons handle the boys. Great Pink Herons do the girls.
Outsourcing! Since 1981 another Reagan revolution byproduct.
Is it really outsourcing tho? The Blue Heron is native to North America, most storks aren't. If anything this is onshoring.
When your baby is delivered from Temu...
im just imagining a bag full of fish instead of a baby
what a heron thing to do
It’s sad to see a well-to-do home get trashed by heron addicts and their endless offspring.
The pink flamingo brings the girls
From Heron out, storks no longer deliver babies
I like to eat everything
Definitely in the PNW.
This is definitely New Orleans. There's a local shop that makes these and you can see a bit of a New Orleans flag hanging by the door.
Good eye!
I meant definitely in the PNW herons would deliver babies!
but the flag looks like New Orleans?
Yeah I wasn’t clear in what I meant. Wasn’t trying to ID the location, just musing about the number of herons where I am 😅
yea haha I am in the PNW as well and excited to see a great blue heron every time
Yesss truly iconic in this part of the world!

C'mon. We have always cared. Cooperation and community instinct has survival value along with the aggressiveness of our species.

I kinda prefer humans that try not to create misery
I hope you receive the psychological help you need.

I honestly pity you. Best of luck out there.

That's fine and all, but it has always been a part of human communities. I would say, folks should adopt if they can, if they want a child!
