About

Birds With Arms is a photoshop meme in which images of birds are edited to have human arms editing on to their sides where their wings would have been.

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 thread on the Reeelapse Forums[1] titled "Post pictures of birds with arms", created on August 11, 2008.
