I am currently on holidays in spain and there were a lot of parakeets around, also tons of collared doves who i’d guess outnumber the feral pidgeons there. Pretty cool
Today while cycling i saw a flamboyant hoopoe, which i recognized because i saw it on here. I was hyped. This is my first time somewhat far away from home since i started watching birds and it’s amazing to see what’s going on here. The birds are going off!
There is a very similar word that has a d before the g: pidgin. It’s a form of a language (usually English) which is simplified and commonly spoken by non-native speakers.
I actually think the problem is Pokémon and the Pidgey line
