People freaked out by ‘alien-like’ animal’s markings as it feeds from straw

A weird video of an odd-looking creature being fed with a straw has surprised viewers.

The video has gone popular since it was first shared on Twitter, with viewers guessing the animal.

Disclosescreen, a conspiracy theorist, posted the video to his YouTube account and urged his followers to vote for the hairless creature.

The finger-sized bird-like creature appears to be sucking down the food while being fed through a straw.

Viewers were astonished, and some even compared it to the terrifying Demogorgon from the hit Netflix series Stranger Things.

One joked: “Is that Dart from Stranger Things?”

Others speculated that it was a newborn Venom from Marvel Comics.



But it didn’t take long for viewers to find out it’s “some sort of baby bird”.

One viewer pointed out: “Bird looks like a gouldian finch baby, I think the spots are for the parents to see to feed in dark nests, possibly…”

Another one added: “That’s a bird with some funky mouthpiece!”
