I found it going in to work the other day, and I love these birds, and it bothered me that the only way I could really honour how amazingly beautiful it was involved taking a picture of its corpse.

That is one of the cutest baby animals I’ve ever seen. If I lived on a spread and was made out of money, I’d buy the baby and call him Impossible. This link also (like the previous pic) comes from Fark so it’s likely cookie city.
