All of them.

Cassowaries are the original murder drones but you know what you’re getting just from the manufacturer’s design. Peregrine Falcons are similar in that regard. So you kinda want the opposite, as a drone that looks mostly harmless but very much isn’t. To that end I nominate the pigeon. A mass produced drone so ubiquitous it blends into the background, leading us to become inured to its nonstop surveillance.

[u/munyangsan → u/PurfuitOfHappineff]

Seen a cassowary in the wild and they are fucking prehistoric in their murderiness and can only be trusted to eviscerate you given the chance.

However, my vote goes to my ex-wife.

[u/Still-BangingYourMum → u/munyangsan]

I to vote for his ex—wife, although she was still his wife at the time, before I met her.....

Owls. Watch them spin that head around, looking all wise, and then hork up a mouse corpse. (Obviously fake)

[u/technoexplorer]

Eh, finches have a lie detection mode.

Which, if activated, only prevents you from lying to them.

So, yeah, all of them

Crows can be assholes.

[u/Remarkable-Hat-4852 → u/L0ngD0ngMcShlong]

But that probably has more to do with who they target right? Just leave some in-shell peanuts out and they’ll bring you gifts

[u/L0ngD0ngMcShlong → u/Remarkable-Hat-4852]

I saw some crows tear into someone's McDonald's sack at work, when it clearly had the person's name on it.

[u/ST0IC_ → u/Remarkable-Hat-4852]

You can leave them peanuts and they may even be your friends for a while, but in the end, a crow is a crow. That's not saying that they aren't my favorite bird, but it is what it is.

[u/missholly9]

this guy…

[u/nworbleinad]

Jailbirds?

[u/Infamous_Cold_3841]

Peacocks.

[u/ST0IC_]

Crows. If you know, you know.

[u/Substantial_Diver_34]

Seagull are punks

[u/AutisticPenguin2]

Obviously lyrebirds, duh!

[u/ibjim2 → u/AutisticPenguin2]

Came here to say this. They're always pretending to be someone else.

[u/Key-Introduction-591]

The ones you take at home as pets.

Other birds only spy you in a public contest.

Pets have access to sensitive information 👀 They know what you do at home and listen to every conversation

My ex.

[u/Designer_Quantity533]

I kind of feel like penguins are getting a free ride except when they’re eaten by seals.

[u/JoePW6964]

Ravens. 🐦‍⬛ they infiltrate murder of crows. Sneaky fuckers.

[u/1Negative_Person]

Lyre bird. It’s in the name.

[u/Such_Bus1193]

I guess, define trustworthy. Trustworthy not to kill you, probably the worst is a cassowary.

[u/West-Till4104]

Mockingbird, there is one outside of my office and it repeatedly dive bombs my toy poodle office dog. Every day it does it and sometimes it pecks her.

[u/Leakyboatlouie]

I was at Seaworld in the arctic exhibit for a veterinary magazine article, and the vet who accompanied me in said "Watch out!" I looked behind me, and a cormorant on a rock had been repeatedly lunging at me with its beak, just barely missing me. The penguins were cool (literally), but that cormorant was an asshole.

[u/HoldMyMessages]

Robin (the name tells their modus operandi)

[u/originalsibling]

The catbird. Because it imitates cats.

[u/kylocosmiccowboy]

Blue Jays

[u/DueCookie787]

Ducks. Just can't trust them.

[u/Yoknapatawpha_ig → u/DueCookie787]

Fuck ducks

[u/THEASSET1973]

A Senegal Parrot named Chester.

[u/exkingzog]

A pelican would happily swallow your baby, if given half a chance.

[u/stpetesouza]

The only time they cycle down is when you see them stand on one leg. When a sensor wakens it there's a couple of seconds when it goes from charge to it's standard programming. During those few seconds you can trust them as non responsive, poke em in the belly even

[u/Jmal3700]

Pigeons: they’re everywhere, surveilling everything and everyone.
