HANDS OFF OUR TITS

They better not touch my spangled drongo

[The Maroon Jacket]

😂 Who's decision is it that come out with all this pish? Who gets to make the call? Are they from cloud cuckoo land ?

Is it government workers with ef all to do and have to make up shit to justify their job's?

The world is truly Donald ducked 

In 25 year's time common sense will be a university degree and all these trends of today will be for the bird's

It’ll be the same people who decided that the front of each ambulance should say “ecnalubma” just in case you look in your rear view mirror and don’t recognise the noisy hi viz thing behind you with the flashing blue lights going nee naw nee naw….…🤷‍♂️………..and…….

 

whilst your transfixed on your rear view mirror for to long, you run into a stationary car but, fear not, there is an ecnalubma right behind you 😂

Nothing wrong with slaver statues being ditched in the briny but this Audobon mularkey is ridiculous. Why can't they just acknowledge the guy's past and let people decide accordingly. 

 

As for renaming the bursd..... I will always be a fan of Great Tits.

Maybe the birds 🐦 don't want to be called another name, maybe sparrows don't want to be called by another name and will find it offensive, shocking behaviour from the US ornithological society ( maybe they could change their name to people with too much time on their hands society)

Consulting the public?

 

I look forward to Birdy McBirdFace.

How do we know that they are even BURSD? Has anyone bothered to ask what they identify as?

This would require the American public to have a collective sense of humour. Don't forget that there's possibly a third or more of them think that Donald Trump is the best person to be their president - and they're deadly serious about that.

Even that is up for debate and should be a matter for public discourse.

I'll vote for more shags and chough

This is a sedge warbler (Acrocephalus schoenabaenus).

 

It's a typical small warbler, and just about the same size as a European robin (Erithacus rubecula).

Usually it's four Audi rings taken up the full rear mirror

The Audi CEO was nicknamed "four rings" .

 

On account of being married four times.

Because it's not just a sedge warbler, it's a really unfortunate sedge warbler.

What about us in Scotland, can we still call a speug  a speug and a stukki a stukki?

Is a speug what we'd call a sparrow?  The Gàidhlig word for a house sparrow is spitheag, which is pronounced "spee-ag"?

It's spuggie and stuckie where I grew up, spuggie is indeed a sparrow and stuckie's a starling.

There's a chance speug/spuggie came across from Gàidhlig (or via Scots).  Not sure where stuckie might have originated, though.

That seems pretty likely. No, I'll ask my stepdad he's good with this stuff.

Looks like  the venerable RSPB has just outsourced their advertising to Mrs Brown & Alan Carr. 😀
