I used to work at a company involved in breast cancer screening, and one of the skills I learned on that job was how to say the word “breast” without ever giggling.

Somebody is doing something and that something is naming birds awesome names.
Meanwhile, bird names in Danish (translated to english):
Sun black (black bird)
Ice bird (king fisher)
Red chest
Perl owl
Night owl
Blue chest
Gray fly snapper
White chested fly snapper
Chupacabra is a bird?!
It’s on the list of epstein file distractions. It’s way down there, but don’t worry, it’s on the list.
