Fer Crissakes, It's a Bird!

There a short video clip making the rounds on the Internet today. The big controversy: is the person stroking a bird, or a bunny? Consensus seems to be that it's a bunny.

Idiots. It's a bird. Here's why.

Take a close look at the 'ears' of the bunny. Now, I don't know where the rest of the Internet gets its information, but bunny ears are arranged to either side of the top of the head, facing forward. On the 'bunny' in the video, they are arranged front-to-back, and facing each other. Like a bird's beak.

Second, take a look at the end of the 'bunny's' face. Where's the nose? The mouth? I don't even see a snout.

Third, those are clearly feathers. Feathers have a consistent distribution pattern, and a particular way of moving when disturbed. It's completely consistent with what's in the video.

The gnome has spoken. QED.
