31 Bird Memes to Make Your Day Feel Light as a Feather

There's a very good reason why birds are associated with being light, free, and cheerful. It's in their bones.

Quite literally, birds' secret is hiding in their bones. You see, most birds have hollow bones (="pneumatized", if you needed the scientific definition). Their bones are filled with air and reinforced with internal struts for strength. This bone structure helps all these birds be as light as they are - helping with flight. And us? We just feel heavy on a Monday because another workweek is starting. What a shame. Humans don't have hollow bones, and we don't have wings. We're bound to the ground, and that really might feel heavy.

But don't be dismayed, because we have the birby cure for the day's heaviness - some bonkers bird memes. They're like a light breath of fresh air, to make us all feel lighter, free, and cheerful. Just like birds. Because, get that - contrary to popular belief, birds' bones are not just for reducing weight for flight, but rather act as part of the respiratory system, extending air sacs into the skeleton to increase oxygen intake. Seriously, birds are awesome.
