Is it a mocking bird?

@Natasha_Jay "Hold my beer" said the goose looking on.

@Natasha_Jay I immediately recognized Anıtkabir 😀

@Natasha_Jay I hate it that my first thought was "hm, is this ai?"

@sijmen
It's almost certainly not as it's 4-5+ years old (I checked), but it's possibly a merge by the photographer (I checked)

@Natasha_Jay @sijmen it's fantastic. I love it. I assume it's merged though.

@samueljohn
Yes, the photographer was pretty open on that. Tineye gives history I think on him and his work.

@Natasha_Jay Image description:

A black and white photograph of a line of soldiers goose-stepping through an outdoor galleria, rifles on their shoulders. In the foreground, a magpie is walking in the exact posture of the soldiers.

@callisto
I thought I did Alt Text on this tbh, or not?

Callisto Dec 5

@Natasha_Jay Actually you did, sorry. For some reason it only shows up in my feed if I hide the image, and the badge isn't showing up at all.

@callisto No problems. My mobile client warns me if I forget AltText so ...

Owlor

@Natasha_Jay Not only do I believe corvids are capable of sarcasm, I estimate that they are roughly 75% sarcasm by volume.

@Natasha_Jay
Looks like the bird in the picture was manipulated to look tilted backward. In a real setting it would be falling backward onto its tail. Who or what concocted this #artificialstupidity ?

HashRaydamon Dec 5

@Natasha_Jay the only way to up that is if that were a goose

Guillotine Jones, Flâneur Dec 5

@Natasha_Jay
The bird is doing it ironically.

@Natasha_Jay please credit the photographer in your post.

@klarnebel
I think it's in the thread, but I don't want to link to IG. If you can confirm, I will.

@Natasha_Jay Der Vogel war nur eine Ablenkung 😜

That magpie is faked. Rotate your screen 30 degrees and you’ll see the bird walking normally. That said the photographer should get an award for spotting it.
