The world wide web never ceases to amaze us, and people never seem to fall short of ideas when it comes to bizarre Internet memes. The latest photoshop fad is called “Birds with Arms,” and is exactly what its name suggests: pictures of birds with human arms.

Images of birds are edited to have human arms attached to their sides, where their wings would have been. The normally winged creatures are shown in a wide variety of unlikely poses and situations, from wielding bats, drinking tea to playing instruments and smoking cigarettes.

According to Know Your Meme, this Photoshop meme is not exactly new, as the guys behind the website claim it started in August, 2008, when a thread on the Reeelapse Forums titled “Post pictures of birds with arms” encouraged visitors to upload altered bird images.

And while many thought the pointless meme would soon wipe from the minds of Internet users, many other sites, including Tumblr, Reddit and BoingBoing, added topics featuring compilations of notable examples from the bizarre series.

In the photo gallery below, you can check out some images of feathered creatures with arms, but if you search the Internet, you will be amazed by the plethora of pictures that are submitted every day.
