Masked lapwing - Vanellus miles Most of the time when I talk to animals, they look like they are trying to understand, lol. I find that with birds, they usually cock their heads at me when I talk to them, like this lapwing is doing.

                Meme #2 is relatable. I've seen that movie well over a dozen times.

The masked lapwing is a large, common and conspicuous bird native to Australia, particularly the northern and eastern parts of the continent, New Zealand and New Guinea. It spends most of its time on the ground searching for food such as insects and worms, and has several distinctive calls.
