Birds

In this vintage clip, a turkey attacks a news anchor to escape his clutches and avoid a talk on inflation. The video below doesn't really answer the question of why the bird was sitting in his lap in the first place.

This penguin really wants to get a closer look at a stray camera case, but the wind keeps blowing it away. Watch the flightless bird's goofy battle with the elements below.

A Cockatiel couple are trying to do the deed until their baby bird, whom they share a cage with, breaks up the fun.

Thanksgiving is still more than a month and a half away, but wild turkeys in the Arden area of Sacramento, CA seem to be on high alert for hungry humans. After hearing numerous stories of rogue turkeys chasing after joggers, Sacramento News10 producer Duffy Kelly set off to investigate the claims herself and wound up with a vicious fowl hot on her tail. Well, maybe it wasn't all that harrowing,

A man in England stripped down to his boxers and lowered himself into a harbor to save an injured pigeon from drowning. Watch the bird-lover's aquatic rescue below.

With their wobbly gait and tuxedo-style fur, penguins are goofily adorable no matter what they do. In the video below, a tiny penguin has had enough of a human who got a little too close, and charges the man while barking. This surprises the gawker, who slips on the ice and falls down while backing away from the flightless bird.

Seagulls have been on quite a crime spray as of late, stealing everything from cameras to golf balls to hamburgers. In the video below, humanity was able to exert a bit of revenge on the thieving birds with a simple trick involving some french fries and a glass windshield. Watch the rats of the sky get trolled.

Spirit the eagle, Auburn University's mascot, took its traditional aerial tour around the bleachers of Jordan-Hare Stadium before the kickoff of Auburn's football game against Mississippi State on Saturday. He was looking quite majestic in flight as the crowd of 85,000 cheered until ... smack -- Spirit crashed right into a glass-enclosed luxury box.

Perhaps because birds never really have to use moving staircases, this confused, feathered fellow attempts to walk down the up escalator. The bird winds up going nowhere and thoroughly entertaining the couple who captured it on camera. Watch below:

When we last checked in with Russia, there was a guy going around the country seeing how many breasts he could feel up. Things get even stranger in this new viral video from the former Soviet Union, which shows two wannabe ninjas in a public square engaging in what can only be described as a duel involving live pigeons.

Comedian Mark Malkoff already made a scene Stateside when he pulled a series of pranks in an Apple store, and now he's moved on to Holland, where he recently allowed pigeons in Amsterdam's Dam Square to feed from his prone body.

In the clip below, a little fuzzy duckling has an unlikely nosh: a large pizza. If this video makes you go, "Mmm, duck pizza," you're not alone: The YouTuber who posted the recording of his pet going to town on a loaded Pizza Hut pie actually disabled all YouTube comments "due to sick idiots that want to eat him."

While its true that laser beams have yet to become the bad guy-zapping weapons we were promised by science fiction, the laser does have many modern day uses. In this video, for example, we find that a laser pointer can be used to perplex and fascinate a cockatoo. Kiwi never is able to capture the little red dot with his beak or his claw, but it's not for lack of trying.

If you've ever feed pigeons in the park or seagulls at the beach, you'd know that some of our feathered friends have become pretty comfortable getting up close and personal with humans. This little fellow -- who stubbornly refuses to leave its perch on a windshield wiper even as the car's driver switches the wipers on and off -- takes that comfort to another level.

'Happy Feet,' the 2006 animated film featuring singing and dancing penguins and a subtle environmental message, took in almost $400 million worldwide and won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Now the flightless fowl are back for 'Happy Feet 2.'
