something that’s super cool about birds is that a bird’s name can mean something totally different to different people. because usually when we talk about birds, we shorten their names (calling a bluebird a bluebird, instead of a eastern/western/mountain bluebird)
so, for me, someone who lives in north america, the word ‘robin’ would most likely make me think of the american robin:
for someone who lives in europe, it’s likely the very different european robin:
if you’re from australia, there’s very many species called ‘robin’; maybe you’d think of a scarlet robin or rose robin
it’s so cool to see how different we all visualize words like ‘stork’ or ‘parrot’ or even ‘bird’!
Why does the rest of the world have such cute, round, colourful birds but we just have all these tall, lanky, dull birds. Like Bluejays and Cardinals are nice and all but I bet they still look better somewhere else in the world. Hell we have grey pigeons and everyone else gets colourful as shit pigeons and chicken sized pigeons. It’s crazy
what!! no, north america has AWESOME birds! and we have plenty of cute round birds too!
