Just some photogenic birds facing a new phase in their lives.

A subreddit that tells the stories behind the pictures of some clearly recently divorced birds. Reading the comments is recommended.

Some of my favourites:

Marvin hadn't been in the dating game in 20yrs, but he knew suspenders were still in. (link)

PETER REMEMBER HOW I MADE YOUR PROVOLONE CHEESE AND SALAMI ROLLUPS FOR LUNCH EVERYDAY SO THAT THE SALAMI OVERLAPPED THE PROVOLONE JUST LIKE THE MOON PHASE FOR THAT DAY WAXING CRESCENT WAS YOUR FAVORITE NO OTHER WOMAN WILL LOVE YOU LIKE THAT YOU HEAR ME? (link)

Bartholomew’s first day back after a messy public squabble with his estranged ex-wife. He wouldn’t let it put a damper on his next chapter. His shiny new tie would be the talk of the office, and hopefully be the gossip fodder that made everyone forget what they witnessed yesterday. (link)

So I says to em, I says - How many toimes I gotta tell ya Roy? How many toimes? Ya gatta quit comin hea. It’s gatta stop. Ya gambled away yuh money, ya gambled away Amba’s college fund, and ya gambled away my heaht. (link)

Both sides, now: Audrey (link) and Juliea (with an e). (link)

Officer, I haven’t seen the man in weeks. (link)

Maybe Devin (link) should take some selfcare tips from Susan (link)?

Fancy pigeons (and ducks and chickens) can get pretty weird.

Oh god, don't tempt my muse like that. I don't want to write 1920s avian noir about the grim but upstanding detective and the hypercompetent but terminally quirky secretary, and their will-they-won't-they romance that they'll totally get around to once they've solved the murder.
