    Here’s a scary thought. Birds have no sphincter. Meaning they have no means of clenching their butthole, and holding in their poop. Meaning, if a bird is above you, there is a 100% chance you will get pooped on if their body produces poop at that moment. The poop is ALWAYS a threat!

      More fun, they have no butthole or a peehole. It’s a cloaca, what is basically the combination of both and what comes out of it is also the combination of both. Dinosaurs were built the same way.

        Don’t forget that eggs also come out the hole!! If you’ve ever seen fresh farm eggs before, you have to wash them before you use them because they’re covered in piss and shit. Yum!

      Another shitty thought is that if they get water up their ass while they’re floating, they might become less buoyant and thus drown.
