    I know they’re not choking, but it always looks like they are! It makes my brain uncomfortable. 😅

      Looks pretty uncomfortable for the mouse too.

      Is iy choking or just a more efficient form of digestion… I’d probably be a bigger fan of “hot wings“ if they didn’t slow me down 😎

        The bird’s air goes down a different place than it’s food, unlike in us where everything starts down the same chute basically, so there is much less chance of birds choking than we would have. The anatomy is just so different from what we have.

        It would seem rather efficient if we could down half a chicken or a whole sandwich in one go! We’d probably only get a 5 minute break for lunch then though.

          5 minutes for lunch 😌

          I once watched my boy down 2 Ikea hotdogs in less than a minute… I just think human evolution has a bit of catching up to do 😉
