See also FeatherFingers and ToothyBird for more common tropes involving anthropomorphic avians, ClamshellsAsMouths for the bivalvian equivalent, AardvarkTrunks for the anteating equivalent, and CryingCritters for another instance of animals emoting in a way that breaks biology. Compare ExpressiveSkull and ExpressiveMask for other faces that shouldn't emote but do.
