Most Evil-looking Birds (1 Viewer)

[maplekong]

This is just a little fun thing I guess, what in your opinion is the most evil-looking bird? Any interpretation of the word is valid- as in funny-looking evil, supervillain evil, etc.

First contender- black winged kite?
Second- Great pootoo.

 

[Xenospiza]

I think the Great Potoo looks cuddly with its big head and dark eyes.

The Maguari Stork looks like the White Stork's evil brother.

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

Cassowary

Yellow-eyed Junco. I call them devil-birds.

The ones I've seen look perfectly cromulent to me (evidence below). Personally, I'd go for Noisy Friarbird.

Attacking swans. By the way the paleo artist C M Kösemen has illustrated fantasy swans that look rather evil

I can agree, but to me the devil-bird is the long billed thrasher, also yellow eyed.

Shoebill face on has a knowing malevolence!

Cassowary

I can't see it... they're too dumb-looking to be evil

Yes. Definetely.

I have this for you (Philippine Frogmouth, Mt. Kitanglad, 25.03.2011)



Another one (not my picture) is Martial Eagle. Some of those big raptors look very, very mean.

The philippine frogmouth is the definition of possessed

I've just seen Volcano Junco, it go the same look in the eyes. The bird guide describes it as "demonish".

Looks more like its hyped up on caffeine after an all-night bender to me

I don't know if it looks evil, but you have to give it props for having the most evil NAME...Satanic Nightjar

Sounds most evil would have to go to Barn Owl, or at least one of the Barn Owls depending on your taxonomy.

I don't know about looking evil, but I've been attacked by one. I nearly trod on one on the Anaso track that was sitting with its chick. The adult flew up and hovered right in front of my face clicking it's bill at me. I prefer the alter active name Diabolical Nightjar for that one 🙂
