What bird was this?

[shyGriff]

It's a given name. Imagine an "Orange Carlton", or a "Brown Jimmy"

but aren't the people named robin named after the bird and not the other way around

because if so then that's not the bird's fault that's the people who decided to name their kid after a bird's fault

[Uncle Bengs]

except sjärt is what the end of a bird is called. it does not have to mean "butt"

[Uncle Bengs]

i am aware of that, it still comes out wrong. just like "rape fields", it sounds like it is a field designated for rape but really it is a field for rapeseed.

[TheOwl]

no, ours just have names related to wtf the bird is rather than some random mess of words

stjärt never sounds weird to me when talking about birds. birds have stjärtar, it's just the way it is.

You've got to know these things when you're a king.

I'm making fun of your stupidly named birds

is it that hard to get

I guess it is when you're used to birds named "Robin"

Funny story. Robin, aka American Robin, got it's name from the European Robin, which is also a bird.

It is named after the European Robin[3] because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the flycatcher family

Let us not forget some other Swedish birds!
Brant, Gadwall... Those are some funny names!
Red Kite? Do I tie a string to it and run really fast?
Merlin. THATS A loving WIZARD
Ruff, it's a dog no wait it's a bird!
European bee-eater... okay it's one thing to eat bees but it's a far new level to be called a bee-eater. My cat is no longer a cat. It's a cat-food-eater.
Great Tit(s)!
Oh and look... European Robin! The very name you've been insulting!
Hey you! Get on stonechat! No not the swedish bird, the rock we chat on!




Get your head out of your ass. Thanks.

stjärt is different from butt

Which is also English. How funny. somehow.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. These are all English names of birds. What are you doing?
