I love this. Here we have folks in the US talkin' about their birds, then ya' got the UK'ers talking about their birds.
Reminds me of this past summer when Greg Stevens came to visit with his lovely lady Kate and fir the first two days just couldn't get over the Amercian birds. Especially the cardinals, which they don't even have anything close to in the UK...
But what the hey, they'll all birds and birds are cool! (Except the wrens, of course... Ahh, jus' funnin"...)
