We all love birbs and it is up to us to make sure that crimes committed against humanity by our feathery friends are recorded for posterity. The overall goal of this community is to provide a safe place to post and discuss the most criminal elements of the sky: smol birbs.

Hi there. I unfortunately ran out of smol criminals of my own to post here, so I figured I would help my fellow birb law enforcement agents to get more work done, with helpful tutorials from the internet.

The videos are not mine. I like that photographer a lot and he is single-handedly responsible for that one time I captured an actually good picture of a birb.

He's good at what he does. He loves what he does. He does NOT yell at the viewer (which is appreciated, ISO settings do not need to be discussed at a decibel volume equal to said iso settings). He has excellent underhanded tricks to get smol criminals to commit crimes on camera.

His pictures are lovely.

Check it out.

Do what he does.

Then post your results here so I can enjoy them, thank you very much, byyyye :D

This was my favourite illegally smol post back on Reddit. Figured it would look nice here as well. ^^

Sometimes warblers don't care how close you are. This one was probably ten feet away. They are truly smol, and I like to crop my photos.

Sometimes I don't even know what I'm photographing. This is a male blue-black grassquit doing a "I'm sexy" dance as he calls.

It might not be obvious, but these sparkling-tailed hummingbirds are actually smaller than some big beetles. When they're flying past, it's hard to believe that they're actually birds.
