Into the Mind of a Bird * 1
    #23620421 - 09/06/16 11:56 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Birds are much more intelligent than many
realize. After tenting it out in the PNW
woods for 5 months, I came to know the
resident birds quite well. These fuckers
stay up all night partying, I swear on it. We
became partying friends; sometimes
from 11pm till sunrise they'd be hanging
outside the tent, knowing their master God 
lives just within those paper thin walls.

When I first pitched my tent out there, the
birds were cautious and curious
about me. On one of the first nights,
they were poking and scratching at the
tent all night long till around 4AM, just fucking with
my fear, seeing how I reacted, trying to gauge
who or what I was and what kind of thing I
was.

Once they became comfortable and friendly
with me, they would come hang out
a few times a week, and all night long
they would playfully and curiously poke and
scratch at the tent and make the trippiest
sounding clicking noises.  I'm guessing theyre
blue herrons or some other big bird because
the sounds they made were coming from
2-3 feet off the ground.

One time I stood up on my knees to piss into
the piss jug and one of those fuckers came
right up to the screen of the window a few
inches from my face and clicked right at me.
Tripped me out.

Four months down the road I finally realize
they've been trying to communicate with me
(Who's the stupid one now). What happened
was the bird slowly scratched the tent with
its super sharp claw. Then I scratched the
same spot where he did. Then he scratched
another spot a foot away from the original
spot, :eek: and I do the same. Then I scratch
a new spot, and he follows me and scratches
there too.

After that, the trippiest thing happened, all the
birds surounding the tent started making the
clicking noises. Like they were letting me know
we were all there together as friends. Or they were
communicating with eachother going "holy
shit, is this guy for real??"

Dinosaur bird mind man, trippy stuff :laugh:uck:

But that's not it. Whenever I would have racing
thoughts and paranoia from weed or
whatever, they would somehow know
something was up and
start agressively hitting the tent like they
wanted me to stop. So to get them to stop I
would have to silence my mind through
meditation. This happened numerous times.

This wraps up my story, hope you enjoyed.

I constantly questioned why God created something that has diarrhea its whole life and made wretched noise constantly.  But after a family made a nest outside my window I am amazed how cool wild birds are.



before I was going to shoot them.  I knocked down their nest but they continued to perch there and just stare at me with horrible birdface sadness.  I felt so guilty I put up a cigar box filled with cotton.  They knocked out all the cotton and filled it with mud and straw and whatever.  They love their new house.  I miss them as they flew to south america.  they'll be back come april.  oh hurrrrry!


blue jays are annoying as fuck tho

Nature is on their side, what a life it would be
to chill by a river all day fishing and eating,
then going back to the woods at night to fuck
with some acid head.

what about them crows?

African grey parrots are smart birds.  and annoying as hell.  but what do you expect when you have a bird living in captivity and in the natural world they would forrage 16-18 hours a day.  its cruel to me.

Fantastic story, Hobozen! Birds are curious creatures. I definitely think they are more in tune with our states of mind than most people would believe. For instance, one time I was wandering around my city looking for crystals ( was a weird day ) and basically meditating while walking. I was near the entry ramp for the highway, on a plot of grass where no one really walks, which was adorned with a row of trees. My mind was very, very quiet.

As I neared one of those trees I mentioned, I kept my mind totally still and felt that wonderful, expansive lightness in my body which comes with a quiet mind. As I was looking for crystals, most of the time my eyes were on the ground, however when I got up to the tree I raised my eyes and noticed it was full of these tiny, brown birds!

Most of the time birds like these would fly away at the slightest hint of contact with a human, but here I was, less than three feet away from a small tree absolutely full of them, right at eye level. My mind was still totally silent, and get this, they were all staring straight at me. I felt an immediate connection with them, a visceral perception of our body heat or something strange like that, just their presence. Then I started thinkin' bout some shit and I'm pretty sure they flew away.


I can totally relate to and believe your connection with those herrons!

I forgot to mention this feeling I also got from their presence, it's like a thick air of silence that fills up your consciousness.

Neat story.

I have always felt that man has drastically underestimated the intelligence of the creatures surrounding him on this planet.  I have no problem believing birds are as smart and hip as you describe.  Animals deserve a lot more respect than they usually get.

you understand this directly when you trip and observe and hear and feel them

it makes me sad to say and think about this but now many humans are So lost, isolated, and ...fked-up it is hard to contemplate it!

That is precisely the feeling, and a more astute description of it than I was capable of mustering in my post.


Zzripz, it is quite the predicament, is it not? It does, however, grant us one boon: the perfect place in which to practice compassion and virtuous bad-assery.
