I can confirm, I’m a mammal who’s occasionally been attacked by great tits
My tits also occasionally destroy the brains of small critters
Tits can easily destroy the brain of a fully grown human
Proof or gtfo
Maybe elsewhere
Ah yes, that particular internet myth. It is not true, because it would be basically impossible for them to do this. Usually it is about them eating the brains of their own species. But this variant of the myth is also funny (although still untrue).
Great tits eat plenty of insects though, I don’t know why this particular myth has gained so much traction, do people think these birds are vegetarians?
No, it’s not that they actually do it. They may do it. They’re allowed to.
Came for great tits. Was disappointed
damn… never thought I would say this… but great tits are horrible
This an Aliens reference?
That’s metal af
It makes me wonder whether they always think of the brains as food that they simply don’t like, or they just snap when they’re starving.
“I know what lies within you, and I am desirous of it.”
I saw a documentary once about wolves that eat salmon brains. They only eat the brains to avoid parasites. I’m wondering if that’s the thing with the great tits 🤔
Raptor grandpa would be so proud.
