It's true, great tits make brains go away.

[–] Silic0n_Alph4@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am suffering for a surfeit of brains and would be interested to learn more on this subject. Do you have any references that I could examine, perchance?

Depending on your preference.

trying to find out their distribution

Suuuuure... that's definitely why you were googling "great tits"

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

More specifically, "where can I find great tits."

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Maybe he's comparing their weight distribution?

I found out the Shrike likes to impale it's victims on ~~spikes~~ thorns and sticks for later consumption.

I was trying to find information on the romulan Shrike.

Both are pretty metal.

I learned the Shrike is a real bird when reading about the Hyperion Cantos Shrike.

They share some disturbingly similar features.

A case from few years ago in Finland where cows had to be put down because great tits demolished their udders by pecking for fat. Link.

Great tits can do all sorts of amazing things

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not going to question why you were trying to find out the distribution of great tits

[–] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

They're all at my house hell yeah 😎

[–] GreatTitEnthusiast@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

That's pretty metal, not gonna lie

Are they immune to rabies?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Only mammals get rabies. Birds aren't mammals.
