Officially Licensed Death Star Birdhouse For Geeky Birds In Your Yard

This is the time of year when families spend a lot of time outside mingling at summer BBQs, swimming in pools or even bird watching. The birds around my house wake up at about 4:00 in the morning, and I love leaving the windows open so I can hear them start their day. If you are a Star Wars fan (and ...

Beautiful Birdhouses Created From Trash Decorate Urban Areas

One thing about animals and nature which always fascinates me is how they both adapt to whatever conditions they are faced with.

An Inspiring Mirrored Treehouse Design You’ll Want To Experience

Just like a LEGO, papercraft or any other kind of build, a treehouse build can be as big or as small as you can imagine. It can be fancy or simple, and it can take a weekend or a lifetime to complete. I while back I wrote about the World's Largest Treehouse, and at that time, the guy building it had ...

From the dive bombing of an angry hummingbird to the placid motion of a flock of Canadian geese in the sky, birds move themselves into and out of our lives every day.

Extinct Bird Sculptures Created From Fast Food Chicken Bones

What do you do with your chicken bones after you eat all the meat off them? I eat a lot of chicken wings, and back in 2009, I even wrote an article about how to correctly eat a chicken wing. It never occurred to me until today that the leftover carcasses might be useful. I should start saving them s ...

Illustration: IRL Angry Birds Right In Your Own Backyard

A few years ago, there was a clear distinction between our virtual lives and our IRL lives. People often spoke of them as two separate entities; however, that has changed. For the most part, since we are all so immersed in our social media and technology, our online and our offline lives have merged ...

Cats That Play Scrabble [10 Pics]

When I first tuned into the Internet cat craze a few years ago, I thought for sure it would be just a fad. After all, how could people all around the world (especially in American culture) be collectively cat people online? Maybe it's because cats are cute, or maybe it's because they are not cute. M ...

Science: A Shocking Discovery About Snails

This has been wigging me out since I read about it a few days ago, so maybe if I write about it, it won't seem so strange.

12 Bird Nests In Unusual Places: Get Inspired By Nature

I've always had a soft spot for bird nests and the baby birds that the mamas take care of inside those nests. I've written before about Tweet-Tweet, my childhood pet. Tweet-Tweet was a wild sparrow that I rescued after he fell out of his nest. After he was strong again, I tried to let him go back in ...

Real Birds Are Now Tweeting On Twitter (Really!)

When I was young, I found a sparrow that had fallen out of his nest. His mother left him on the concrete. He was only a few days old, and hadn't grown any feathers yet. I nursed him back to health, and at the end of the summer, I tried several times to set him free. He wouldn't fly away, so I decide ...
Angry Birds: The Movie (Trailer)

Angry Birds: The Movie (Trailer)

I don't know which is more fun to read about, the fact that a full-length film could conceivably be based on an app, or that Rooster Teeth was able to make this look exactly like a Michael Bay movie. Of course, the whole thing is a spoof. It's cute to see some of the comments on the Internet abou ...
