BIRD OR BUNNY? Although at first glance you might mistake this bird for a bunny, it's just an optical illusion. Mischief is actually an 18-year-old raven—and now a viral social media sensation.

A video of a black animal getting massaged is at the center of the storm, with the world arguing over if the animal is a bird or rabbit.

Others swore it was a bunny. Some even chimed in with photos of other animals, including a slug, calling them bunnies and rabbits. The World Bird Sanctuary, based in Valley Park, Missouri, identified the animal as one of their ravens: An 18-year-old named Mischief, which has lived at the sanctuary most of his life.

If people cannot see that this is clearly a Raven then the question they should be asking themselves is, 'why do I know so little about nature?' I had to stare at this thing like one of those 3D picture posters, for a long time, just to kind of see the rabbit instead of the bird.

Bird

Crows are super intelligent

bunny?

I need this👠👠👠👠👠👠👠

Thought bunny for 3 days, finally saw raven!!

Cute little birdie rabbit.

0:10 it’s a bird. Unless the bunny has no nose. 🤭

No, this is a bird. You have to be an eegit to mistake this bird for a bunny! Seriously?

Bird

Amor sincero!

As I’m a raven person (but of course I love bunnies, too), & a little bit slow, at first I couldn’t understand what you were saying, for me he/she looked sincerely just a lovely raven! But, yes, his/her beak looks like long ears now(I’m late!)😂 This is like a mental exercise!

KatCapps So easy to see it’s a Raven ...

Bird. It is obvious.

Quote the Raven, nevermore.

Old news. Old news!!

Raven

I thought it was plume of raven or plume of dove bird or bunny note none of thee above.

The bird and Sleepy Joe are taking the same Meds.

Yanny

it wasn't obvious

I didn’t see the bunny until I was told about it.

Come on we not that stupid

I KNEW IT. I FRIGGIN KNEW IT.

Que bonita.

😆

Who's giving this massage - Dershowitz ? Pant on or off ?

Actually, I saw it was a raven at first glance and had to look at it for a minute to see why it would be mistaken for a bunny.

Bird. 100%. I don't see the bunny's mouth

Bird. 🐥 Bunnies don't have hard ears.

Oh I see it now...it’s definitely a bird. The beak is opened (toward upper right corner). The beak looks like bunny ears. 🤣😂

Rabbits dont have feathers

ivonne_coll Yes bunnies ear are hard.....Im allergic to bunnies and I know that that was a bird 🤪🤪🙄

Yep. Thats a good one! His beaks in the air and does look like rabbit ears. Had me going. Ravens are very smart birds!!

We deserve to be wiped out

Bird black crow

Raven at first glance

I want this guy!!!! I love ravens and crows.

Yea iv`e seen loads of rabbits with a beak. 🐰

It took me along time to see the bunny! I just saw the bird!🤨🤨🤨

NEWS OR IDIOCY?

amyhoyt13 Anyone who thought this was a bunny need their eyes and brain examined. I've never seen a bunny with no fur on its ears and normal people don't stroke a bunny from head to nose.

Clearly a bird....no mouth to be a bunny when the guy moves his hands

And in what fucking world does it look like a rabbit? The Beak coming out of the top of the head kind of gives it away.

I’ve seen this exact tweet saying “I bet you thought this bunny was a raven”.

Who the fuck would think this is a bunny?

Lion or Giraffe?

I dont know wtf you guys see, but i mever thought i saw a bunny .. Its obviously a bird

It’s David Koch in the afterlife...

That is not a rabbit duh

Bird

Wouldn’t I have seen a viral social media sensation BEFORE it was declared viral?

how can anyone mistake it for a bunny which clearly has a beak

bird

jditommaso52 dkerr1208 foh jackson w that bunny shit

Bird 2 days ago and now bunny

What rabbit would let anyone rub thier nose and mouth without getting bitten.

MichaelLeon1970 This is dumb enough for 2019.

What kind of dog is this?

Lots of bunnies have hard, sharp pointed ears in the middle of their heads, one in front of the other.

I didn’t think it was a bunny till u said something

unm, how can someone say this is a bunny? xD

Ummm nobody thinks that was a rabbit

Bird

This is ridiculous clickbait. Unless you've been living in a cave it's obviously a raven (not a crow because they're different) and not a bunny. Sheesh.

Did not realize Ravens live that long

I never saw a bunny.

Bird

It's a bunny.

Omg.... Yes...

It was a BLUE dress!

Chaos is a ladder lol.

Never saw a bunny

That is one ridiculously happy bird.

Took me a long time to see a “bunny.”

Ravens are the absolute best!!

My bunny would bite my fingers off so that was a dead giveaway.

I saw a bird and had to figure out how it could be a bunny.

How does someone mistake this for a rabbit at first glance. Wot.

Bunny

Birb loves pets

Bunny?

No, at first glance that looked exactly like a big beak to me.

Pretty easy to tell that's a bird

Only stupid people will say that it’s a 🐰 InternetMakesYoudumb

I saw a bird before reading the caption. But then looking at it...I can see how there is a bunny....🤔

LiveInDelray This is so crazy!! lol

Can't see no bunny 🐰

Animals love humans. Yet we farm them to slaughter and eat without any respect for their lives. Every day on the hour. Shame on us.

Saw the bird first!!

A bunny with no nose

It's a bird. I've been around far too many bunnies to mistake that for a rabbit.

A bunny without a nose huh

Quoth the rabbit, never more.

Totally fooled me because I thought this was a bunny

You can clearly see the birds mouth

it's a unicorn

My 8 year old daughter says it’s a bird based on the fact that a bunny’s ears wouldn’t be so stiff

Bunny

You’re welcome DuckRabbitBrew

CAT OR SNAKE?

That clearly has a beak.

That’s amazing .

I always knew it was a bird.

Okay ... can this please disappear from twitter forever? Its obviously a damn bird. Case closed.

And bunnies have beaks Seriously

Whatever.

I'm sorry but I don't see a bunny nowhere 😂🤣

Bird

Me when I am about to Cum

Bird

Beautiful creature.

The hell Since when did bunnies have beaks?

Er, Disney?

Bunny

BIRD! You absolute terror-level fiddlers!

Blind people knew this was a crow 5 minutes before you even posted the article. Why is this “news?”

カラスかわいい🥴

Bunny ears don’t run from to back, but side-to-side. Of course it’s Mischief the raven. ❤️✨

Let me get this straight. It is not a bird, but a raven. Aren't raven birds? Am I missing something?

Come on... Is there really anyone on earth who thinks is that is a bunny? 🤦‍♀️

Who doesn’t love a scalp massage?

Omg I did not realize how beautiful a raven can be!

Τι bunny ρε μαλακες. Πάτε καλά;

I never thought it was a bunny.

I want to know how many times corvidresearch has been sent this to date

most stupid story ever. 'bird or bunny'....... if you see a bunny visit your doctor.

Never for a second did I think it was a bunny

Crows are highly intelligent animals 🙂

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Fairly obvious what it is, what do you think rabbit expert laurabunbun

Bird though I could see the bunny once someone mentioned it contraryMary

brianfrange Horse?.... M - monster?....

👏Nobody👏thinks👏that's👏a👏bunny👏

The beak gives it away. Amazed the bird is so calm though.

Kinda look like a T-Rex

People think that's a bunny? Probably something to do with the high amount of lead in the drinking water.

Raven

'Mischief managed' to burn the whole internet. 😛

Really?! If you see a bunny, i think you've had too many trips to the medicinal store. Who would be rubbing a bunny's nose anyways?

Bird - the beak is a give away

If you seen this as a bunny at first. Smh

nikkhillsharma clearly a Raven, right ?

“Sensation”

shabnammahmood Yes treat human like that, Kashmir and Palestine looking for you

I knew it was a raven from the very start.

No one actually thinks it’s a rabbit it’s just manufactured internet “arguments” for clout and news

I know rabbits have long ears, but what kinda people here are thinking that rabbits have such sharp, pointy ears and a nictitating membrane in the eyes?

Click bait

Lack of news? This is clearly a bird. 😒

If you see a bunny you need to get your eyes checked.

This 1892 drawing IRL

Both

I had to use my imagination to see a bunny 😐 it’s clearly a bird.

WTNH Since when did rabbits get beaks?

You have to squint pretty hard to make that pointy beek look like rabbit ears🙈

BOTH

Animals are just like us they love to be loved......😍😍😍😍

It’s a Bird!!

I want a pet raven

I don’t care which it is, I just need to get a message to King’s Landing ASAP!

Of course it was a bird. Rabbits eyes are not like that, and his beak is a giveaway.

Rabbits....not Raven.😂😂😂😂😂

BUNNIES......

I didn't mistake it at all. It's clearly a bird. :/ Confusing the beaks as bunny ears is a YOU PROBLEM. Because the beaks clearly don't look like bunny ears to me. lawls!

I choked on my drink reading this headline. It's clear as day that's a damn bird.

But...this is clearly a bird

I can see both

Just goes to show how far people will reach to start an argument. This is that ugly dress all over again.

Blackalosky 🧐

The first thing I see was only a bird 🦅 a crow? Never actually thought or see it as a rabbit 🐇 actually.

If you thought this was a bunny then you need an optometrist and some psychiatric help.

Yeah! A bunny without a nose!! Duh!! itsabirddummy

'omg it's a cute bunny!'

jpetramala How could you possibly mistake this for a bunny unless you're high or retarded or both?

Of course it’s a bird since there is no bunny nose 🐰

I see both

Who thought that was a bunny!

alyssa_dionn

yudy_pena mira aquí...

😂 tell me who sees a bunny?!

I’m at a loss as to how this is mistaken for a bunny?!?

The blink gave it away

It’s a fucking bird. It has feathers for Christ’s sake. A sharp beak. Don’t even get me started on the almost translucent eyelids.

Yanni.

I hear that this raven talks. Just sayin

“AMERICA”.... have you heard? There’s a brand new dance, and it’s call the “bird”!

AutumnGalaxyy issa birb

I see a rabbit and a bird....wow.....

I was a little high watching this....mesmerizing....

Definitely a bird. Look at the left wing. And of course the sharp beak!

People look at this and think it’s a bunny?

Jamin05 what you seeing

My son said “Goat”. So it’s a Goat then.

Yes. Quite remarkable.

It was born a bird but now identifies as a bunny! Animals have rights too!

That's clearly a bird. I hate you 😠

Knew it was a bird instantly! 🙂

I clearly see both bird & bunny.

How,,, would people think that at a rabbit...

Now I only see a bunny 🤦🏾‍♀️

This is what rabbit ears look like try harder

Those are some seriously funky looking ears if people think it's a bunny. Easily a bird. No question.

i see a bunny 🐇😨

Definitely a crow.

Omg it got me I thought it was a freakin bunny!!

Omg lol

You can see by the way he blinks

Bunny?

People who are a bunny need to get their eyes checked like, yesterday. Fuckkk

Laurel

THIS IS SO STUPID!

It’s a joke people. Nobody actually sees a rabbit.. do they?

I had to force myself to see a bunny...I see it now, but nope...looks like a bird.

So smart and so ugly

No it’s a blue dress, wait no it’s a gold dress, nvm I don’t know what it is

WTNH Nope.

Every critter loves a good head scratch!

A rabbit?

Bird big Bird crow

“Oh, you know where to touch me Eric...”

Good job driving our attention to this and not the burning amazon.

Bird

The amazon rainforest is burning

Bird first, but I can see bunny too. 👍

WTNH post real news

兔子?你赢了

This 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 not 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 rabbit 👏🏽!

Birds haves beaks, and bunnies have ears.

I thought it was a rabbit too 😂

If you think this is a rabbit you need help!

Bird

He really loves that.

That's crazy😮

Bird.

Mischief is gorgeous.

Bird

Who the hell thought this wasn’t a bird. The big beak didn’t give away

Bird aren’t bunnies

WTNH Oh wow

ABC reporter examining a rabbit:

Omgggg guys when you see it you'll know

I see the bunny now

Ahhhhhhhhh

Omfgggggg

Wooooh! 👀 that’s freaky ‼️

I saw the bird first. Then after a little while ok, now I can see why it may look like a bunny. I couldn't understand until I watched the whole clip.

mrpford If it’s a bunny then it’s an alien one with hideously ugly ears 😳

The bunny is missing a nose!

How the hell can someone mistake this for a bunny? Seriously?

I will call it bunny bird 🐇 🐦 😂😂😂😂😂😂

What a beauty! Such a wise animal! Memory like no other and trainable as well! Love to have one but never in a cage!

Bird

eric_simmonds1

It is obviously a bird - even to the most casual observer.

A bunny? Not even close. Lol

Love love love 🦅🐦🕊

Cuteeeeee

Why would a bunny have a beak on the top of its head?

I saw a bird first, but sideways it does look like a bunny

This scared me

That’s clearly a raven

HayMarg Ew this freaked me out

Shit I thought it was a deer🤪

Its beak is distinct therefore a bird.

Bird

It has a beak.....

I don’t understand how anyone got a bunny with that big ass beak.

Haven't seen too many rabbits with beaks....

DeanAntonioNYU i didn't for a second thing this was a bun bun

There's no way to mistake for a bunny !!

It's a catatonic raven. 😄😄😄

is it dying?

Bird loves human. Such trust.

The new thing to break the internet

Do you have to be on drugs to see a bunny? 🤔 clearly a raven

If you don’t look at the beak ....

soooo cute, soooo floofy 🤗

Anyone who thought this bird was a bunny needs to get a pair of glasses. You can clearly tell that's a damn beak and not ears.

Who could see a bunny in that?

realDonaldTrump check this raven for a California voter ID.. Easily had to be at least 4 million fraudulent votes caste in CA during the 2016 election.. And roll in FEMA to clean up downtown LA & SF as well; as their are now medieval diseases circulating in those cities.

I saw the bunny 2nd lol

Bunny

Where is the bunny?

~I only seen a raven.....had to L👀k for a rabbit!!!!~

The beaks will surly define it as a bird.

How is this a rabbit?

Bunnies 🐰 do not have beaker

What a cute squirrel

For those questioning how anyone could see a bunny at first glance the beak could be mistaken for bunny ears

What kind of rabbits are people looking at?

Nevermore!

So beautiful!

I knew it was a Raven.

Don't play with the ears.

It's not an optical illusion if you have ever seen a bird or a bunny.

That’s so raven

Definitely a bird

Saw a bird first

Omg people! It’s a bird! Clearly a BIRD!

Wut? That's clearly a bird.

Not a 'tattooed guy': Larry Bird mural will be changedINDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Larry Bird likes the mural but not the tats.
