These birds produce toxins in their feathers and can harm you on contact:
Hooded pitohui
Variable pitohui
Possibly a few other pitohui species
Blue-capped ifrit
Most or all members of the Little shrikethrush species complex
These birds are toxic when eaten due to their diet:
Migrating Quails
Red warblers
Spur-winged goose
No birds are technically venomous.
Pitohui might be aposematic but probably not, they are not very colorful compared to most birds.
These guys? I thought they manufactured their own poison. Didn't know it came from ants but that somehow makes it even cooler, like they're purposely weaponizing themselves through diet instead of it just happening by itself.
That's the only reason these fellas can be kept as pets.
On that note, it's apparently very difficult to make a captive dart frog poisonous, like even if you are actively trying to.
>Do there actually exist any poisonous birds
Language expert here. OP is fine with his grammar. But he should have perhaps have been clearer about whether he meant poisonous or venomous.
Grade school teachers tell you not to do this because they don't want you developing bad habits by relying on it. But professional authors do it all the time.

I think the, 'dont start a sentence with and or but' is another instance of how 18th Century academics attempted to describe English grammar as if it were Latin. Like the thing about saying 'as if it were' rather than, 'as if it was.' And not putting a preposition at the end of a sentence. And to never split an infinitive.
AKSHUALLY venom is a toxin that gets injected straight into your body while poison is a toxin that gets absorbed via ingestion, inhalation, or sometimes absorption through other parts of the body like the skin.
Assuming you have absolutely no ulcers inside your mouth, stomach, or intestines, you could swallow venom and it wouldn't do anything.
Anyway, OP is fine to ask if there are poisonous birds. Venom is not associated with birds in any way (but it is associated with a rare few mammals, funnily enough).
No you fricker, you even said it yourself.
OK, we can agree that venom is a poison. And I think we can agree that if Cleopatra is fine to talk about poisoning herself with an bite from an adder. But the distinguishing thing about 'venom' is that some animal fricker has dedicated attack move to get its self grown poison into another a creature, like fangs.
So it's totally not clear if OP means are there any birds that will poison you if you eat them, or are there any kinds of birds with dedicated biological poison injectors like fangs.
NTA but >be born and raised in USA >get called ESL constantly
It's not even just for grammar mistakes, sometimes I guess I just phrase stuff inarticulately because I don't have a good frame of reference for how people talk. Anons also b***h at me for writing too much, but I don't know how to have brevity while still getting all my points across.
The way you type makes you sound like an ESL trying too hard. Start typing like you'd speak to someone face to face and nobody will call you ESL anymore.
Alternatively, if you're an ESL larping as a native speaker, start watching streamers or some kind of unscripted content without subtitles, it will give you a better grasp on how real people talk.
I don't see a problem with your post, but it's more likely you're correct and the modern education system is so bad the majority of younger people can no longer tell what good grammar is anymore since half of America talks in ebonics and other miscellaneous zoomer slang words since they spend more time on the internet than in class.
as opposed to the british and whatever 50 dialects they have cobbled together, from the french no less, thats they why spell "colour" and "armour", and even then ebonics comes from creole, which is more french, nothing good has come from france, theyre the reason why british food is so awful and bland, middle age cuisine was all about balanced dishes, but then the french came along said its all about 1 item which is why you get onion soup, they ruin everything they touch
Only one I know about is the pitohui. Homeotherms usually don't have venom or poison since their metabolisms are so much higher, which makes killing things more slowly with toxins inefficient when you can just move faster or get sharper beaks or claws or whatever.

the birds that eat those ants that make the frogs poisonous also make the birds poisonous

Do there actually exist any posters on Wauf that aren't esl indians?

Clearly the people watching it too, it seems.

There is nothing wrong with that grammar what are you on about?
That's grammatically sound. It's just an obscure and somewhat-archaic phrasing.
Yeah, the kind you learn from a book at a school rather than from actually using the language in the real world like the ESL you are
Caught him in 4k
Grammatically correct
dumb frick lol look in the mirror
"Do there actually exist any poisonous birds?" is correct
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_bird
They are real.

It's funny you say that, because shrews, one of the few venomous mammals, also have absurd metabolisms.
I love the look he's giving, like "Yeah, I'm poisonous, so what? You wanna have a go with me? I'll take you down."
