Jurassic Birds
What if Jurassic Park had been made with the full knowledge that birds are dinosaurs,
but without the CGI and the animatronics, instead having to rely on old-fashioned matte
shots and miniatures, and they just substituted real birds for the dinosaurs?
"That's a dinobird!"
"They're moving in flocks. They do move in flocks!"
"What species is this?"
"Uh, it's a C. monedula"
"You bred corvids?"
"This one was always my favourite when I was a kid. And now I've seen one, it's the most beautiful thing I ever saw."
"Where's the goat?"
"GOAAR!!!"
*Crunch*
"Hey!"
"Grraap?"
"Uh, nice girl. Nice girl. Nice dinobird."
"SQUAAWK!!!."
"Must go faster!"
"It's a veggiebird, Lex! A veggiebird!"
(Not really, but don't tell her that)
"Gal, uh, uh, gall... Gallus gallus!"
—
"They're flocking in this direction!"
"Look how it eats. I bet you'll never look at birds the same way again."
"Clever boy!"
Puff, caw, stare.
Clink, caw, hop.
