Dirds refers to a viral Photoshop trend involving the seamless blending of dog heads onto the bodies of various birds. The phenomenon gained massive traction in early 2013, particularly on subreddits like /r/dirds and across Tumblr, where users competed to create the most convincing or absurd hybrid creatures. Unlike many memes that rely on specific captions, the humor of Dirds stems from the visual cognitive dissonance of seeing a familiar canine face in a completely foreign, avian context. Over the years, the meme has evolved into a broader category of animashups, representing a cornerstone of surreal internet humor that celebrates bizarre digital editing and the cursed yet adorable nature of hybrid animals.
