 I am not sure if anyone asked before, but why the hell ostrich? It is one of the dumbest birds in existence, with eyeballs bigger than its own brain. Why not octopus, smart and resilient with distributed (decentralized) brain? 🐶🐾🤔🤔🤔 
 Tag me when you got the answer. I am also curious🤣 
 If I'm not mistaken, this is how it went nostr -> nostrich -> ostrich 
 Ok, play on word then. Still feels a little out of place given the nature of the protocol 🐶🐾🤔 
 Ser, you are a chatty dog that calls himself the fishcake 😛 
 Fair point 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣 
 But he is definitely not a malaka 🤣
Love this chatty dog 💜 
 @walker has your answer ;)

 Fastest animal on two legs and they have a kick that can kill a lion. Pretty badass if you ask me.  
 Still dumb though 🐶🐾🤣 
 Hence, tardstr 😂 
 Shid! 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣 
 I think it should be a tucan. No reason. They just look cool.  
 The beak is a huge plus 🐶🐾🤣 
 Or a sloth haha🦥 Just chilling and stacking sats🤣 
 That would look slow 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣 
 Process of big amazing things is always slow 😉 
 True 🐶🐾🤔 
 What if nostr's spirit animal isn't a animal at all? 
What if it's a virus?

 You need to talk to @Mandrik 
 Blame Dave 
 Bad Dave, bad 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣 
 Yeah bad Dave 😂😂 
 Yeah, fuck Dave! He is a cunt I am sure. (Who the hell is Dave?) 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣 
 Dave is definitely on…damn Dave 😂 https://i.nostr.build/QQv7.jpg  
 How do you not know this story? 😡

@walker asked the @dave bot (that I can't tag correctly) to tell him a joke about Nostr. The bot replied that Nostr is a Nosy ostrich. Boom. We now have our mascot. This happened almost a year ago. 
 Oh! I haven’t heard of it. Thank you! 🐶🐾🫂🫡💜 
 Glad to be of service 🫂 
 And why purple?

 Why does it need an animal? 
 Mascot 🐶🐾🫡 
 Because you can’t ride octopussy. https://image.nostr.build/6ba88b52685f3bbd93e2403be987ea896976936e9543be263f3e431bd24fa849.jpg  
 Have you tried? 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣 
 It’s me giving up my career of DJ and becoming an OJ.
🤩 
 There's a lot of talk about your post.

 Maybe because they have large eggs? 
 Team crow 🐦‍⬛

Smart as fuck bird, and fits the theme better when compared to Twitter's blue bird. 🐦 
 COW! LFG! Copy-on-write! 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣 
 it’s weird.. it’s (still) ugly.. 
 It can be cute too. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder 🐶🐾🫡 
 What about @rhinostr 
 iirc someone asked ChatGPT to come up with a pun on the word "nostr" and got "a nOstrich" back.
Then they just... went with it. o.o 
 hey @Mandrik Ravens you said? 
 This morning I photographed a Crosstrich - strange beast, loud and smelly with horse hoofs
