Birds with Arms

About

Birds With Arms are images of birds that have had human arms placed on their sides to appear as if they are part of the bird.

Origin

Although bird images have been altered in many different ways in the past, the earliest thread where bird images were exclusively edited with human arms was in a Reeelapse thread entitled "Post pictures of birds with arms. " , created on August 11, 2008.^[1] It later spread to a Something Awful Forum thread entitled “Photoshop Arms Onto Birds! …Seriously”, created on February 16th, 2009.^[2]

Examples

Spread

Affixing arms onto avians has been practiced on 4chan^[3], Tumblr^[4], and subsequent Something Awful threads.^[5]
