ReplyDeleteI said to Alicia Smith around that time "oh, a singing honeyeater - or as we like to call them 'murderous psycho death-birds'". She rightly corrected me to "murderous killer psycho death-birds". Which is a reasonable description of most Australian passerines, really.

I did not have their attitude towards people in mind - I was thinking of the way Australian birds are so savage to each other.
ReplyDeleteThe tiny singing honeyeater I saw last night that ripped a tail-feather off a crow (about three times the size) was a good example.
