Carefully arrange pieces of pork fat on a keyboard, place it where birds congregate, hook them up with a Twitter account, and suddenly you have a flock of birds spreading their wisdom far and wide on Twitter.
That's what Latvian bird lover Valdemars Dudums did, setting up his specially modified hypersensitive keyboard and letting the birds tweet away with illuminating missives such as "wowowow," "poppoppop," and our personal favorite, "lololol." Hey, this is better than a lot of the Twitter accounts we've been following. After all, you'd think birds would know a thing or two about tweeting.
These aren't angry birds, they're just plain hungry, and their Twitter account is named accordingly: @Hungry_Birds. However, it looks like that Twitter account has been rather quiet for the past 10 days, and a visit to Valdemars' site at BirdsonTwitter shows that he's shut down his operation until November. At that site, he set up a live camera showing the birds' activity, and while he's not streaming live video at the moment, you can see recordings of the birds in action. Here's his message "from the birds":
Spring is here! Time to catch bugs and build nests. Thanks for the lard, have a nice summer and see you in November!
Happy Birds
