Birds were naturally born without arms, which saved us a lot of trauma. It's a good thing evolution went this way instead of allowing armed birds to go about life as flying deadly weapons. Not only are birds with arms just genuinely disturbing to look at, but they also are disgustingly overpowered creatures. There's something so unnecessarily upsetting about the looks of these birds, but we're also seriously impressed with the image editing skills it took for people to create something like this.

All of these birds are works of art. They demand the respect of us mere mortals who can't compete with the presence of a bird with arms. If you can't stop wondering why this trend is even a thing, take a look at some of the funniest birds with arms you wouldn't want to encounter in real life. It's a good thing birds aren't real in the first place.
