John Oliver wants the world to know birds do not rate high on his radar of personal favorites. The "Last Week Tonight" host recently ranted in a video how much he detests the airborne creatures and just how much he wishes their upcoming seasonal flight will turn into an everlasting excursion.

"As the weather cools down, birds are going to start their seasonal migration, which is of course when they travel to warmer climates in order to feed, grow, and mate," Oliver opined. "It's their version of "Eat, Pray, Love," except birds are too dumb to realize that everything they needed was inside them the whole time."

With that, Oliver broke into an even more sinister diatribe.

Bye, bye Birdie

"But before the migration begins, I have a brief message for the birds of the Northeast as they begin their journey southward," he added. "Are you listening birds? Here it goes: F- you, birds!"

In time, Oliver made it clear his disdain for birds holds true, no matter what form or characteristics they take on.

"Oh, what? I'm supposed to like parrots just because they can talk?" he said. "Basically, every human being talks, and I hate most of them. I hope you never come back. To me, every single bird is just a s--y sequel to the dinosaurs, and we'd be better off without ya."

Ultimately, the HBO talk show host admitted that the source of all his frustrations with birds probably has to do with the green-eyed monster trolling inside of him.

"I hope all you disgusting sky mice enjoy your tropical getaways while the rest of us face the frigid torment of winter," he said. "And I hope each and every one of you flies into a wind turbine on your way north next spring"

Praise for Oliver

Meanwhile, Oliver figures to be a bit more chipper about news of "Last Week Tonight" snagging its first Emmy for best variety series writing.

Oliver previously won the award three times as part of Jon Stewart's writing team on "The Daily Show."
