A worder, if that's a word, and a birder come together and the fun begins---at least at our house.
Sharing a recent Jeopardy answer (in the form of a question, of course) with hubby started the conversation. A group of crows. What is a murder? He disagreed....probably because a flock of birds is a flock of birds and he can usually identify them specifically by both sight and sound/"call"!
I on the other hand, enjoy discovering an" unkindness of ravens" and a "murmuration of starlings"....all of which join crows as general blackbirds to me.....and then forgetting soon after until the question appears on a game show.
For our almost 2 year old granddaughter, a bird is a birdie.....
But, she knows the name of turkey and sees a rafter of them....followed by the "mommy."One thing we, a worker and a birder, agree on completely......God created every bird that flies, each after its own kind. And it was good. (Genesis 1:21) Amen!
