Oh my. The squirrels out here did not like the sound from that video. Lots of tail pinafore semaphore in my direction.

Real talk, probably a juvenile who wants food. Why it's screaming at people in the house is a mystery.

... What do you think pinafore means? It's that dress that alice in wonderland wears. How does a squirrel alice-in-wonderland's-dress as a verb?

Is this one of them phone auto-corrects or is there a really niche weird word for squirrels that I haven't learned?

Probably a brain fart and they meant to type semaphore.

My bad. Semaphore.

Thank you for the correction, since i think I've used that incorrectly at least one other time recently. That's not sarcasm.

It's so fascinating to me how bird brains make completely different mistakes than human brains when it comes to memorizing music. Jingles designed to instantly and accurately lodge in any toddler's mind get measures skipped and reordered by cockatiels.

Gannets are boobies!

I only found this out a couple of weeks ago - it's pretty obvious when you look at them that they are from the same family, but I always assumed boobies only live on tropical islands.

Weeeeell, gannets and boobies are separate species (Morus vs. Sula) but they're both in the Sulidae family (we cut out the middle man in Danish and just call them all sule)

sorry for pedantic taxonomy chat, it's a work injury. Have some sulids as penance

Happy to be corrected :) I love birds, but I'm no expert in the details; I'm embarassed to admit I only found out that starlings aren't corvidae last year.

it doesn't help that with the constant march of DNA technologies and new fossil finds, families and species are moved around every few years. It's only 10 years ago we found out that falcons don't belong to eagles and hawks, and are instead a sister group to parrots and passerine birds, or that flamingos and grebes are each others' closest relatives.




taxonomy is a hellish landscape that will make you insane if you stare at it too long
