Today, my brother and I found a little bird that couldn't fly. While trying to convince my mom that it couldn't fly so we could keep it, I lightly tossed it in the air and it landed a few feet in front of me. Then my cat grabbed it and ate it. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found a tiny, featherless baby bird. I knew it was impossible, but I tried to keep it alive through the day. Before I could get it to the wildlife center, it died, and when I got all choked up over it, my mom started laughing at me and saying how "weak" I was. FML
Today, I saved a bird from being run over as it lay in the middle of the road. Thinking it had a broken wing or something, I started carrying it home, intending to take it to the vet later. It crapped in my hand and flew away. FML
Today, I witnessed the beautiful sight of a tiny baby bird struggling to take flight from its nest. "You can do it," I muttered, which I guess my asswipe of a cat heard as "Quick, go kill that bird and scar me for life, please." FML
Today, after we finished making my 6 year-old daughter a net to catch an injured baby bird, when she went out to catch it she witnessed a stray cat catch and eat it. FML
Today, I was caring for a bird that had flown into my window. I thought the poor thing wouldn't make it, when it shit in my hand, flew into my neck, then around my living room for ages before I could manage to get it out of the window. FML
Today, I watched a cat pounce on a small bird and rip it to shreds, feather by feather. It wouldn't have been any worse than mildly disturbing, had I not just spent the last 4 weeks nursing the bird back to health from a broken wing. FML
Today, I got a new cat for my birthday. It ate my bird right when we got home, then it ran away. FML
Today, I was woken up by a bird screaming its guts out. My cat had somehow managed to catch a bird and bring it inside. My 9 a.m. morning began with trying to catch a bird in my own home. FML
Today, I killed a pigeon. It choked to death on a piece of bread I threw its way. FML
Today, a robin flew into my window and died. My mom, being a biology teacher, thought it would be a great experience for my brother and me to dissect it on the kitchen table. She threatened to ground us if we didn't do it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

it probably died after you "lightly tossed" the damn thing. birds are fragile, you can't just throw them.

What the hell you doing throwing the poor thing?? It would have probably died of shock if your cat hadn't got at it!

Correct, and to add to that, the bird DOES have common sense. It's not like a human learning to swim, it's instinct and they're born with it. Plus, not being able to fly does not mean not being able to flap its wings. Most of the time they can, just not hard enough or fast enough. Birds are also better-equipped than a falling human would be to handle different types of air pressure, winds, and rough landings. Chances are very, extremely low that the bird would have taken even the slightest physical trauma from the throw or landing.

I volunteer at an animal sanctuary and I'm sorry to say that the fall would probably have caused the poor thing to go into shock and die. Depending on the drop. A foot or 2, no, anything higher than that, probably.

all of you need to Shut the **** Up. She says she "lightly tossed it". If the bird had any common sence at all, it would know to spread its wings a little so as to make the fall slower. An in case you all didn't know, birds have hollow bones. It doesn't fall like you or me would. She wanted to keep it, and her cat ate it. That's all this is about. Stop butchering this perfectly good FML over the one detail.

/clap very well put. however i have to dissagree with you at only one point. i once had a bird fly thru my house and have my cat almost eat it. i grabbed it from my cats mouth, brought it outside, and threw it in the air for it to fly away. it didnt open its wings or anything, however we figured it was mostly from the shock of the attack. regardless, well put

You threw a baby bird in the air you ******* idiot. Even if your cat didn't eat it, having a dick like you looking after it would probably have been a fate worse than death anyway.

I'm pretty sure they can walk if they were able to throw the bird. Noob.

I can't believe you threw a poor little bird into the air. I hate you! I hope someone tosses you to prove you are unable to walk.
