About

Dirds, a portmanteau of "dog" and "birds," is a photoshop meme in which faces of canines are superimposed over the trunks of birds to produce fake images of a hybrid between the two species, in a similar vein to other Photoshop-bred mythical creatures like Birds with Arms, Crocoducks and the Bearksharkotopus.

Origin

On October 31st, 2013, Redditor Musicmantobes submitted a photoshopped picture of a bird with the head of the "Doge" Shibu Inu to the /r/SuperShibe[6] subreddit (shown below).

Spread

On November 16th, 2013, the Internet humor site Tastefully Offensive[1] published a compilation of Dird photoshops (shown below). Within one year, the post gained over 74,500 notes.

On November 18th, the Internet humor site Eat Liver[2] reblogged many of the photoshops, followed by Laughing Squid,[3] Sad and Useless,[8] The Huffington Post[7] and I Waste So Much Time[5] over the next week. On November 4th, 2014, Redditor YouKnowRandall submitted an Imgur gallery of Dirds photoshops to the /r/funny[4] subreddit, where it gathered more than 2,000 votes (82% upvoted) in the first 24 hours.
