It's spring time!
Time to head outside and spot some baby ducklings hatching, or listen to the kookaburras laughing - just make sure you don't get swooped by a magpie!
Here are some fun bird questions to help us get to know each other 
What's your favourite type of bird?
Do you ever wish you could fly? Why/why not?
Are you an early bird or a night owl?
Why do you think the chicken crossed the road?
Which came first - the chicken or the egg? 
Bonus point: Post your favourite bird gif! 
I adore these questions
What's your favourite type of bird? I love little wrens. Maybe the splendid fairy wren? I get heaps in my garden. Also cockatoos. And also the musk duck, because it's really weird and was very funny when I first saw one.
Do you ever wish you could fly? Why/why not? So much yes. I bet it would be really fun and peaceful and beautiful and maybe sometimes more convenient.
Are you an early bird or a night owl? I'm not very strongly one or the other. But I never really deliberately get up earlier than I need to.
Why do you think the chicken crossed the road? I've heard that this joke is actually quite dark, and 'to get to other side' is metaphorical 😬
Which came first - the chicken or the egg? 
The egg. Evolutionary wise, I'm pretty sure eggs have been around way longer than an animal that would be called a chicken

I haven't replied to these threads in sooo long (do months even exist anymore? It's hard to keep track! 
) but I love these questions!
What's your favourite type of bird?
Ooooh, I have so many favorites! I love how mysterious ravens/crows are, and they're incredibly smart. I always loved peregrine falcons and owls, too! I also like cassowaries, because they're legitimately terrifying. all flightless birds (minus penguins) terrify me a little, like they're actual dinosaurs and the way emus make those weird grumble sounds... so bizarre!
Do you ever wish you could fly? Why/why not?
I can see pros and cons... I mean, I am fairly busy so I don't know how I'd realistically add flying to my schedule . It'd probably make me dizzy! But I remember when I went skydiving it felt amazing floating above the ground, like everything felt so small. As a mode of transport I'd prefer to teleport.
Are you an early bird or a night owl?
Night owl. I haven't gotten out of bed (without having a reason to) before about midday since quarantine started. It's annoying sometimes, but I can't help it! I feel like I'm more productive at night since my family has gone to bed and nothing much can distract me (except when I find ways to distract myself...)
Why do you think the chicken crossed the road?
Because he had no body to go with! ...oh, wrong joke.
Which came first - the chicken or the egg?
Egg! I mean, have you seen emus/ cassowaries/ etc? They're just small dinosaurs. And don't they think most dinosaurs have feathers? But also, if the question was about chicken eggs specifically... what would make a chicken egg if there were no chickens? Maybe a chicken would come first, because whatever creature that evolved into a chicken and lay the first egg wasn't technically a chicken. Much to consider

1. Whats my favourite type of bird?
That’s a tough one. I really love hummingbirds and lovebirds. I have to agree with @hellofriend, cockatoos are super cool too!
2. Do I wish I could fly? Why/why not?
Flying would be awesome, especially during the night amongst the stars. That would be a dream come true, I think. Feeling the breeze on your face and being completely surrounded by silence and a sea of stars - I could get used to living that life for sure 🤩
3. Am I an early bird or a night owl?
I think it really depends. Sometimes I prefer staying up late and reading books till 2 Am in the morning. But other times I love being able to wake up before everyone else and have a warm drink and get ready for the day.
4. Why do I think the chicken crossed the road?
I have no clue. But I do know why the rooster crossed the road. Because it wanted to cockadoodle doo something. Yes that was bad. I know, I know 😅
5. Chicken or the egg
This is definitely the question of the century. I think it’s safe to say that the chicken came first.
through evolution if we are going to get sciency - like @Hozzles explained. Much easier to think about it this way I think 😆
I love this! Thank you for tagging me @WheresMySquishy !
What's your favourite type of bird?
- Hummingbirds are so tiny and cute! But I also really love penguins! (I find it so cool that they're still a bird even though they can't fly!)
Do you ever wish you could fly? Why/why not?
- Flying would be so cool! (Save so much money not having to spend on a car or public transport ) But it'd also be so cool to fly like peter pan and look at nature and see all the life below you.
Are you an early bird or a night owl?
- I am totally a night owl but i really want to try and train my body to become a morning owl!
Why do you think the chicken crossed the road?
- They were afraid someone would Caesar!
Which came first - the chicken or the egg?
- The chicken must've come first yeah? Ah thinking sciency at night rattles my brain 
What's your favourite type of bird?
I really don't know! I like ducks, penguins, swans, pelicans, peacocks, kiwis... The list goes on.
Do you ever wish you could fly? Why/why not?
I think I would be a bit scared of it, which is weird because I've done a lot of other thrilling things! I'm prone to motion sickness. Maybe if I could float or fly at a slower speed. It's not something I really think about. I don't really have dreams where I'm flying.
Are you an early bird or a night owl?
I'm pretty much nocturnal at the moment. I'd like to go to sleep earlier because it's hard to sleep during the day, especially because we have a lot of people coming to our house. I'm like the least morning person you'll ever meet. I can't function at all in the mornings. I don't know how people do it.
Why do you think the chicken crossed the road?
I've never realised the true meaning of this joke until now... How morbid!
Which came first - the chicken or the egg?
That's a good question. I've wondered that a lot myself. Has any scientist come out and said the answer?
