Bird words

[tamf]

I have learned several new bird words recently.

According to this sad report on the Dunsapie Loch swans Sally and Sid, a female swan is called a pen and a male swan is called a cob. I'm not entirely sure how you tell the difference, though. Is the male swan the one that's attacking you?

In news from the Highlands, it transpires that gannet

Live and learn:-)

I think the swan is the one attacking you (probably because it resents your heteronormative attempts to gender it)

Hmph. I shall have to hide myself behind peacock feathers.
