All birds, great and small, from the freaking enormous ostrich to the itty bitty hummingbird and every feathered flapper in between.

Animals

Most people don't look at the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/interesting-birds/katherine-ripley" target="_blank">different types of birds</a> and think of them as dangerous. If they don't run into a pigeon, most folks don't interact with birds unless they are broken up, fried, and found in a bucket. That doesn't mean there aren't some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-scary-bird-beaks/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">dangerous birds</a> out there&nbsp;more than capable of attacking and even killing humans. These creatures did evolve from dinosaurs&nbsp;after all, and while many are small and little to no threat, it's okay&nbsp;to fear birds—given they could swoop down and poo in your hair at any moment.Aerial poop bombardment aside, many people are afraid of birds for a wide variety of reasons. Some are just more ugly than scary, and that&nbsp;stirs a primal fear response. Other, more beautiful birds are simply nasty in disposition and they won't stop before they peck your eyes out! Granted, that's not likely to happen, but you don't want to cross some of the scariest bird species out there.Believe it or not, bird attacks on humans aren't rare, whether that's&nbsp;due to getting too close to their nest, perceiving us as a threat, or simply because they felt like seeing what your guts look like. Whatever their reason for attacking, it's best to let them be and enjoy watching them from a distance. Never forget... dinosaurs. They came from dinosaurs!

You probably think of pigeons as a nuisance. The&nbsp;city-dwelling birds are typically considered everything but useful.

If you've ever seen Hitchcock's classic&nbsp;film The Birds, you know that birds can be absolutely terrifying. There are some&nbsp;horrific birds that are just frightening by nature, and there are some&nbsp;scary bird characteristics that apply to multiple species. There are birds that kill people, birds that drink blood, and even birds that projectile vomit stomach acid when threatened. Some of them are quite dangerous.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-shoebill-scary-bird/justin-andress" target="_blank">The shoebill</a>, for example, decapitates its prey, and the cassowary&nbsp;is&nbsp;an actual threat to humans. If you're one of those folks who hates birds, your&nbsp;fear may&nbsp;actually be somewhat justified.But that's not to say that these facts are&nbsp;things that will make you hate birds; some of their characteristics are actually quite cool.&nbsp;There are adaptations that keep birds alive in inhospitable environments as well as&nbsp;behavioral quirks that make birds quite humorous.&nbsp;So, whether you're looking for&nbsp;facts about birds that are scary, or just downright terrifying species of birds, you've come to the right place. Vote up the facts about birds that are disturbing or&nbsp;just plain terrifying: it's no wonder Hitchcock picked birds as the creep-inducing creature&nbsp;for his horror film.

The idea&nbsp;of storks usually conjures up adorable images of white-feathered birds delivering bundles of joy. The reality of the Marabou stork is anything but. The large African bird - aptly nicknamed the &quot;Undertaker Bird&quot; - looks dead, but is actually a&nbsp;garbage-eating, pooping-all-over-itself, living nightmare. Marabou storks have been voted the ugliest bird on Earth, and given its poop-covered feet and scabby head, that title might be considered generous.Despite its revolting looks, Marabou storks aren't all trash and feces, and they are by no means the only <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-shoebill-scary-bird/justin-andress" target="_blank">hellspawn&nbsp;bird</a>.&nbsp;Their disgusting habits play an integral&nbsp;part in Africa's ecosystem, and they do have the adorable habit of mating for life. Plus, the Marabou stork population is in an upswing, so you may encounter one of these Undertaker Birds sooner than you think.

The term &quot;bird brain&quot; is often used to describe someone that acts foolishly or unintelligently. But if you know anything about corvids, you know there are lots of extremely smart&nbsp;birds. Corvids&nbsp;are a type of bird that belongs to what's more commonly known as the crow family. Ravens, jays, and crows -&nbsp;all members of the corvidae family - are&nbsp;arguably the smartest birds in the world. There are plenty of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/crazy-facts-about-unique-animal-brains/justin-andress">animals with magnificent brains and intelligence</a>, but corvids have an intelligence that is all their own. For being so small, these birds can do a lot of amazing things with their mind.&nbsp;Why are corvids so smart? There are several different factors that contribute to the superior intelligence of these animals. There are plenty of interesting and amazing corvid facts, and once you read about them here, maybe you'll even start using bird brain as a compliment.&nbsp;

Ancient Flora / Fauna

Paleontologists may study the distant past, but their world remains fresh and exciting. Every year, they discover&nbsp;new fossils, broadening the horizons of prehistory and scientific understanding. One 2014 discovery - or rather, rediscovery - revealed an enormous and terrifying bird that existed more than 20 million years ago.

Pelagornis sandersi, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/prehistoric-animals-that-arent-dinosaurs/eric-vega" target="_blank">largest flying bird ever discovered,</a> appears to have been a massive and&nbsp;voracious predator, with pointed&nbsp;teeth and a 24-foot wingspan. As it glided over the ocean, smaller creatures would have desperately sought refuge from its gigantic jaws.

Pelagornis&nbsp;is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating fossils ever found. This super-bird and its remains are simultaneously&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/crazy-weird-real-dinosaurs/eric-vega" target="_blank">odd, frightening, and impressive</a>.

Despite being called &quot;rats with wings,&quot; there are reasons why pigeons are awesome and smarter than most of us realize.&nbsp;Pigeons are one of the first birds to be adapted to domesticity by man and have lived alongside us for centuries. The pigeons we see every day are not the birds that were native to North America (those were made extinct long ago due to hunting practices). Those we see in our parks or on ledges today are <a href="http://www.yesmagazine.org/happiness/12-ways-cities-change-animals-and-animals-change-cities" target="_blank">descendants</a> of pigeons brought to America from Europe in the 1600s that used to roost on sea cliffs. Over time, however, their intellect, speed, and general acumen helped them to survive in cities everywhere as they expanded - and, oh, how they thrive!The pigeon we know today is one high functioning bird. Space and time? They understand it. Reading? It's on their radar. Saving lives? Been there, done that. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-carrier-pigeons-work/amber-fua" target="_blank">Delivering imperative war time messages?</a> They have you covered.&nbsp;The pigeon - despite being much maligned over the centuries - is more than just a dirty pest. Instead of shooing them away next time you see them, give them the respect they deserve - and a little bit of feed wouldn't hurt, either.&nbsp;

You may have seen geese migrating south or hanging in a pond, and you may have even fed some. But sometimes, geese are not so nice. Geese attacks are not a myth and the birds can quickly become very mean, seriously injuring people. Mean geese are not just nasty, they can also be sloppy and gross, extremely loud, and just plain rude. What's up with these goose jerks anyway?Geese are easily the meanest of all the species of waterfowl.&nbsp;Whether they're disturbing people on a golf course, being sucked into airplane engines, or&nbsp;attacking innocent bystanders, geese have been labeled as having a bad attitude. But they <a href="http://www.interestingfunfacts.com/cool-facts-about-goose.html" target="_blank">have some good qualities too</a>. Geese excel at using teamwork to perfect their V formation, take care of their sick, and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/animals-that-mate-for-life/ranker-science?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">mate for life</a>. They may be kind and courteous to their own kind, but when it comes to humans, mean geese have no qualms attacking... or worse.&nbsp;

Swans are typically considered symbols of grace and beauty, but they have an ugly side; swans are mean, and sustaining injuries from the sometimes vicious birds is <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/workers-attacked-by-swan/mick-jacobs" target="_blank">more common than you'd expect</a>. Most of us have seen the image of two swans with their heads bowing together in the shape of a heart, and while they do mate for life, these aggressive birds aren't exactly romantic. Why are swans so hostile? And can the massive, territorial birds cause bodily injury?Turns out, there's plenty you probably don't know about swans. They're <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/smart-bird-corvids-facts/chase-christy" target="_blank">extremely intelligent</a>, and they're not afraid to defend their nests. In fact, a series of swans in England have been terrorizing rowers for nearly a decade. Next time you're at a lake or river, keep an eye out for these clever but inimical creatures.

Yes, the great potoo is an actual, genuine creature in the real world. No, the Universe isn't playing a joke. These wide-eyed, gape-mouthed clowns with one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/funny-bird-names/amylindorff" target="_blank">funniest bird names</a> around&nbsp;are the things amazing memes are made from—and they've taken the Internet by storm. Once you get a few facts about these birds under your belt, you'll realize that these hilarious birds not&nbsp;only look awesome, they are&nbsp;awesome. Well, awesome and kinda weird.Despite the goofy looks, the funny-looking great potoo bird is a creature that is actually kind of creepy.&nbsp;Between their ominous, heartbreaking cries, and the fact that they eat other birds, potoos are a force to be reckoned with. These nocturnal creatures love to hang out on their perches and stealthily hunt their prey. They are the strangest birds in the rainforest—not just because of their look, but because of their strange behaviors. Read on to discover more about the amazing great&nbsp;potoo!

Don't let their beauty or fact that they have a baseball team named after them deter you from thinking blue jay birds aren't a bunch of airborne jerks. They may be protected by the <a href="https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/laws-legislations/migratory-bird-treaty-act.php" target="_blank">Migratory Bird Treaty Act</a>, but sometimes it seems other birds are the ones who need protection from mean blue jays. Dive bombing, stealing food, and even eating their victims babies are just a few of the intimidation tactics from the spooky smart blue jays.Blue jays can be found east of the Rocky Mountains throughout North America and have commonly been spotted living near cities. They are related to crows and ravens and other <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/smart-bird-corvids-facts/chase-christy" target="_blank">genius corvid birds who have amazing intelligence</a> and abilities. Blue jays may not <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/crow-court-bird-justice/katejacobson" target="_blank">hold court like crows</a>, but they can mimic the cries of hawks, use tools, and work together in groups. If you've ever witnessed a blue jay going after another bird or even a human, you may have wondered &quot;why are blue jays aggressive?&quot; Here's a look at what's up with these blue jay jerks.

Meet the giant elephant bird of Madagascar, the largest bird in history. These long-lost birds once stood 10 feet tall, weighed as much as 1,700 pounds, and laid eggs 150 times the size of a chicken&#39;s. Like the ostrich and emu, the elephant bird was&nbsp;flightless. A&nbsp;study turned up&nbsp;a surprising fact about elephant birds: they were almost certainly blind.&nbsp;Similarly to other&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bigger-prehistoric-things/jacobybancroft " target="_blank">giant prehistoric animals</a>, the elephant bird grew&nbsp;so large in part because it had no known foes.&nbsp;

Add the elephant bird to the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-extinct-birds/ranker-science " target="_blank">list of extinct birds</a>&nbsp;that humans terminated; like the dodo, moa, and great auk, humans almost certainly caused the elephant bird&#39;s demise. But&nbsp;surprisingly,&nbsp;the bird may have initially coexisted with humans for thousands of years, leading scientists to wonder how the biggest bird on Earth managed to survive for so long.

Dinosaurs might not really exist anymore, but it doesn't mean their relatives don't. Yes, it's true - cute, chirpy birds bouncing around in parks and backyards across the nation are related to giant, ferocious dinosaurs of the past.&nbsp;To be fair,&nbsp;it’s not accurate to say all of the dinosaurs who dominated our planet for millions of years evolved into birds. Many dinosaurs died off through natural means, with the vast majority going completely extinct when a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous–Paleogene_extinction_event">giant asteroid struck the Earth</a> around 66 million years ago. So, how are birds and dinosaurs connected, exactly? Some smaller dinosaurs from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theropoda">theropod suborder </a>-&nbsp;which Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor are also classified under -&nbsp;survived the dark days of the planet. And some of this theropod subset, with their proto-avian characteristics, eventually led to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_birds">evolution of birds</a>.These modern dinosaur relatives might seem relatively boring and harmless, but once you realize all the things these two have in common, it might destroy some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/dinosaur-myths-that-arent-true/ranker-science">myths you've always believed about dinosaurs</a>.

The cassowary, frequently called the world's deadliest bird, probably deserves the moniker. As tall as an average adult human male, the cassowary is one of a only a few birds to have killed a person. Just in case being massive wasn't dangerous enough, it also has some serious talons it's not afraid to use.However, the facts about cassowaries tell a more nuanced tale. Despite its status as the world's deadliest bird, the cassowary is endangered, with some estimates saying there are only 4,000 left in the wild. Deforestation, cars, dogs, and too much human interaction are to blame for the dwindling cassowary population.&nbsp;Though naturally solitary, like the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-shoebill-scary-bird/justin-andress" target="_blank">shoebill </a>(another downright terrifying bird), humans have fed cassowaries for so long that they're no longer afraid of humans. This has led to cassowaries entering homes - and, obviously, attacking people and domesticated animals. The facts on this fascinating animal go far beyond its killer status, though. Read on to get all the details on this bizarre bird.

Few birds look more like a living dinosaur than the bearded vulture. With&nbsp;yellow and red eyes, rust-red feathers, and a massive figure, this bone-eating bird looks like&nbsp;the stuff of Jurassic Park nightmares. And in some ways, they are, but for more unsettling rather than dangerous reasons. For one thing, the birds scavenge upon not just carcasses, but ones dead long enough for the bones to dry out. Furthermore, even as young hatchlings, bearded vultures already engage in a survival of the fittest test between their own siblings, similar to <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-shoebill-scary-bird/justin-andress" target="_blank">the murderous shoebill bird</a>.But despite those horrifying bearded vulture facts, this species also boasts a number of fascinating qualities that set it apart from other avian breeds. And they're pretty <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-15-smartest-animals-on-earth/analise.dubner" target="_blank">intelligent animals</a>&nbsp;too, as their eating habits allow them to leave their meals unattended for large amounts of time. Who's gonna go after a bunch of bones? The bearded vulture knows what it's doing, knows it's a bada**, and in the end, just wants to eat some bones.

Everyone knows penguins&nbsp;are&nbsp;the&nbsp;cutest. Is it possible they could be even cuter than once thought? Most definitely. Their uncanny ability to warm hearts even at the coldest temperatures is, without a doubt, their secret to surviving for 60&nbsp;million years. Adorable penguins are one of the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/cutest-animal-gifs/bunny-brinkman">cutest animals</a>&nbsp;of all time - especially <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/cutest-baby-animals">baby penguins</a> - and these lovable creatures are super smart too. If only we&nbsp;humans&nbsp;could catch on to some of their secrets, we might enjoy the same sort of longevity that caused these mesmerizing birds to beat out the&nbsp;Ice Ages.Penguins are masters of self sacrifice and as you read along, you’ll soon learn they have more in common with humans than you might expect. Their love lives, specifically, are a spectacle to behold. Imagine a lone penguin, proposing to his soul mate with a smooth pebble in his beak and his brave heart on the line. Get ready to feel your heart swell, here are some of the cutest penguin facts ever.

Movies with a bird in the title, ranked by film fans and birdwatchers, from &quot;best bird title&quot; to &quot;well, just OK use of a bird name in the title.&quot; These aren&#39;t all movies about birds, though some are. What these great movies do all have in common, however,&nbsp;is that they have the name of a specific type of bird in their official Hollywood-release title. Whether it is a silly goose movie title like Goosebumps or a more serious, elegant sounding bird title such as&nbsp;The Maltese Falcon, birds have been celebrated throughout film history for their symbolism, special avian talents, and names that roll right off the tongue.

What other good movies about falcons and pelicans and owls and sparrows are available for your viewing pleasure? Plenty! From modern spy movies like Red Sparrow to foreign films like The Snowy Heron, this list includes all the bird movie names that speak to you.

Editor&#39;s note:&nbsp;Alfred Hitchcock&#39;s&nbsp;The Birds is not on this list because &quot;Birds&quot; is not&nbsp;a specific type of bird;&nbsp;it is just the word &quot;bird,&quot; which is not following the rules - anyway, that film <a href="https://www.ranker.com/review/the-birds/2179083" target="_blank">is ranked on plenty of other lists</a>, so go vote on those.

Woodpeckers are among nature's strangest birds,&nbsp;and not just because they spend their days ramming their faces into trees. These birds, found commonly throughout the world, hide&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/weird-facts-about-common-animals/triciapsarreasmurray" target="_blank">extraordinary anatomical features</a> that make them stand out among their flying brethren.&nbsp;Woodpeckers are a highly adapted bird species with skulls, brains, tongues, feet, and tails all uniquely honed for a life of drumming bark.&nbsp;Every aspect of a woodpecker's&nbsp;physiology&nbsp;evolved for a life of constant pecking, from its toes to its&nbsp;tongue. In fact, woodpeckers have what may be the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/crazy-animal-tongues/eric-vega" target="_blank">most bizarre tongues in the&nbsp;animal kingdom</a>,&nbsp;and the&nbsp;organs serve&nbsp;a variety of life-saving functions.It turns out there are tons of little-known facts about woodpeckers'&nbsp;tongues — as well as their&nbsp;other wild features —&nbsp;that make&nbsp;the creatures&nbsp;seem&nbsp;more like cartoon caricatures&nbsp;than elements of nature.&nbsp;Woodpeckers&nbsp;are as amazing as they are strange, and will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about these astounding birds.&nbsp;

Daisy Duck

Daisy Duck is a cartoon character created in 1940 by Walt Disney Productions as the girlfriend of Donald Duck. Like Donald, Daisy is an anthropomorphic white duck, but has large eyelashes and ruffled tail feathers to suggest a skirt. She is often seen wearing a hair bow, blouse, and shoes. Daisy usually shows a strong affinity towards Donald, although she is often characterised as being more sophisticated than him.
Daisy was introduced in the short film Mr. Duck Steps Out and was incorporated into Donald's comic stories several months later. She appeared in 11 short films between 1940 and 1954, and later in Mickey's Christmas Carol and Fantasia 2000. In these roles Daisy was always a supporting character, with the exception of Donald's Dilemma. Daisy has received considerable more screen time in television, making regular appearances in Quack Pack, Mickey Mouse Works, House of Mouse, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Daisy has also appeared in several direct-to-video films such as Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas and The Three Musketeers.

Donald Duck

Donald Duck is a cartoon character created in 1934, at Walt Disney Productions. Donald is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He typically wears a sailor shirt and cap with a black or red bow tie. Donald is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech and his mischievous and temperamental personality. Along with his friend Mickey Mouse, Donald is one of the most popular Disney characters and was included in TV Guide's list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time in 2002. He has appeared in more films than any other Disney character, and is the most published comic book character in the world outside of the superhero genre.
Donald Duck rose to fame with his comedic roles in animated cartoons. Donald's first appearance was in 1934 in The Wise Little Hen, but it was his second appearance in Orphan's Benefit which introduced him as a temperamental comic foil to Mickey Mouse. Throughout the next two decades Donald appeared in over 150 theatrical films, several of which were recognized at the Academy Awards.

Huey, Dewey and Louie

Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck are triplet cartoon characters created in 1937 by writer Ted Osborne and cartoonist Al Taliaferro, and are licensed by The Walt Disney Company. Huey, Dewey, and Louie are the nephews of Donald Duck and the grandnephews of Scrooge McDuck. Like their uncles, the boys are anthropomorphic white ducks with yellow-orange beaks and feet. They typically wear shirts with colorful baseball caps which are sometimes used to differentiate between them. The characters have made several animated appearances in both films and television, but comics remain their primary medium. The trio are the 11th, 12th, and 13th most published comic book characters in the world, and outside of the superhero genre, second only to Donald.
While the boys were originally created as mischief-makers to provoke their uncle's famous temper, later appearances showed them to be valuable assets to their uncles on their adventures. All three of the boys are members of the fictional scouting organization, The Junior Woodchucks.

Daffy Duck

Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character produced by Warner Bros. Styled as an anthropomorphic black duck, the character has appeared in cartoon series such as Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, in which he usually has been depicted as a foil for Bugs Bunny. Daffy was one of the first of the new "screwball" characters that emerged in the late 1930s to replace traditional everyman characters who were more popular earlier in the decade, such as Mickey Mouse and Popeye.
Daffy starred in 130 shorts in the golden age, making him the third-most frequent character in the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons, behind Bugs Bunny's 167 appearances and Porky Pig's 162 appearances. Virtually every Warner Bros. cartoon director put his own spin on the Daffy Duck character – he may be a lunatic vigilante in one short but a greedy gloryhound in another. Both Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones made extensive use of these two very different variants of Daffy's character.
Daffy was number 14 on TV Guide's list of top 50 greatest cartoon characters.

Yakky Doodle

Yakky Doodle is a fictional character created by Hanna-Barbera Productions. Yakky's name is an obvious takeoff of Yankee Doodle.

Webby Vanderquack

Webby Vanderquack is a fictional character from Super DuckTales.

Dinky Duck

Dinky Duck was a Terrytoons cartoon character who first appeared in the 1939 animated short The Orphan Duck. Unlike fellow Terrytoons characters Mighty Mouse and the magpie duo Heckle and Jeckle, Dinky never became popular, appearing in a total of only 14 cartoons between 1939 and 1957.
For most of his appearances, Dinky was a young duck who lived on a farm with other ducks, chickens and other typical farm animals. Sometimes he was an orphan who simply wanted a place to call home; on other occasions, he would perform some heroic deed and help restore calm to the barnyard when adult animals quarreled.
Dinky's final appearance was in It's a Living, a CinemaScope cartoon, in which he sheds his cute farmyard duck persona and instead takes on the role of a disgruntled animation actor who quits his cartoon character job to try his hand in television commercial acting.

Plucky Duck

Gosalyn Mallard

Wade Duck

Melissa Duck

Melissa Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons and the animated television series Baby Looney Tunes. She is featured as main character Daffy Duck's blonde girlfriend in several cartoon shorts but is only referred to as Melissa in one, The Scarlet Pumpernickel, where she is voiced by Marian Richman.
