I like how it leaves in a swiggity swooty fashion.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 points 4 days ago

Truly a doofus of a bird.

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago

How have I never noticed that these goobers don't have arms or nothin. I can't imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.

This is God's creature right here.

[-] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago

I had to rewatch the video to make sure I got an exact image of what swiggity swooty means

Ah, so the kiwi has a bird body but still uses its dinosaur voice.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

All birds use their dinosaur voices.

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 84 points 6 days ago

I thought kiwis spoke English.

They say "LILILILILILI!" Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.

I can hear the dinosaur in it…

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Like it ate a little dinosaur? But how??

[-] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Husband: I want one of those! /s

Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

[-] jrwperformance@lemmy.world 59 points 6 days ago

Nightmare Potato.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 6 days ago

When it ran away was pretty great.

[-] YungOnions@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

My job here is done! Away!

[-] capital@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

“Until next time”

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 51 points 6 days ago

There is currently chaos in my house. I played this on my phone without headphones and my dogs have absolutely lost their shit. The Miniature Pinscher, being a Miniature Pinscher, was barking and spinning and occasionally attacking his spaniel brother who just has this "WTF BRO" face of horror on. Mayhem.

PS: He's calmed down...after a close to ten minute freak out.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 27 points 6 days ago

As it goes with Min-Pins, he couldn't give less of a shit the second time around. He's over it.

[-] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a 'wtf was that!' expression.

This is the sound of an animal with no natural predators.

[-] LennethAegis@fedia.io 3 points 4 days ago

Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

[-] stelelor@lemmy.ca 19 points 5 days ago

Sounds just like the sounds newer trucks make when they back up: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Wt1_51EVA

Sounds just like the fruit.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

I don't believe this is a real animal.

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago

It's a fruit

[-] thegreatgarbo@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Birds aren't real

I eat kiwi all the time and I ain't never heard them make a sound.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

They're obviously dead before they put the them out at the grocery store. I bet you don't see yours running around outside either.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago

slowed down would sound like the stereotypical t-rex

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

Screams of a thousand dark souls...

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

So melodious.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 20 points 6 days ago

I suddenly understand the inspiration behind shows like Lost being made:-).

If memory serves me correctly it's named for the sound it makes

Kiiiiii wiiiiiiii

[-] Syd@lemm.ee 7 points 5 days ago

Yeah its exactly like a Pokemon. I had no idea they went "kiwi kiwi" in a cute voice like this.

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

That's some Jurassic Park stuff, right there

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 6 days ago

Sounds like a slipping serpentine belt.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 14 points 6 days ago

Holy piss I did not expect that

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I actually wasn't expecting it to be that shade of color either.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

They are brown - just looks like that with the spotlight

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Thanks! Was about to ask about the Darwinian prospects of a flightless, wingless avian colored like a medium rare steak.

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Imagine you're camping, it's 2:00 a.m., and you hear that noise!

[-] sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

Sounds like one of my 10 alarms, all with different tones, to make sure I wake up. This one is Krypton on Android.

[-] Skates@feddit.nl 4 points 5 days ago

This is 90% what I expected a kiwi to sound like.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
