A North American bird, a heron, has been found on the West coast of Ireland, and is attracting bird watch enthusiasts.

Posted by Loyola May 28 '24, 13:29

It’s speculated that the bird got caught up in multiple hurricanes and is now seemingly trapped in Ireland and is unable to fly home.

The head of the birdwatchers remarked;
“ "It's fine, it's doing well, it won't mate. But perhaps you know, genetically, that's a good thing. Because if it got blown off course, it may not have been the strongest. So, its genes were not passed on. And that's the way nature is - it's cruel in many ways," he said.”

No dude, you’re cruel. Bring the bird back home on an airplane ffs.

"There's no wording in the manual that says the heron can't choose a mate on Leap Day." -- nm - mayor May 28, 14:38
Maybe add a tracker to it, too, in case it flies back. -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 13:48 4
- It can’t fly back. It doesn’t have the wherewithal to do that. The distance is too great. - Loyola May 28, 14:13 3
  - So lonely. Oh hey guys! What’s up! Yeah you can take my picture. Why am I so alone?! -- nm - Qale May 28, 14:19 2
    - And apparently the bird is docile. So it’s not like he’s squawking and can’t be handled. He’s stranded. Surely he should be repatriated? -- nm - Loyola May 28, 14:23 1
      - That’s just what conservatives would like to happen! -- nm - Qale May 28, 14:29
There is a animated movie to made here. -- nm - Jovian May 28, 13:40
The bird went through all sort of things to leave the US, I would say it is actually a very smart bird. - Marlowe May 28, 13:39
