There are lots of great answers here so I want to post something entirely silly and much much more recent:

About 8-9 years ago someone on Reddit transcribed and revised the entirety of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven to instead be about an Emu.

For the life of me I have never been able to find it again.

Oh great. First, the Emus won a war against Australia, greatly boosting their egos. And later on, they started censoring their mention online.

In other news... there seems to be a bird in my backyard that keeps taping on my backdoor window.

Good luck. It wasn't a post, it was a top level comment and I have a dim memory of it only being slightly related to the post topic.
