Things everybody needs to hear more often:

@IngaLovinde yeah, slight exaggeration probably. It's always either the noise they make, the color they are, or their most prominent behavior

[owl@gts.u8.is]

@schratze @IngaLovinde fläskolle is an outlier

[schratze@todon.nl]

@owl @IngaLovinde ach ja, der Fleisch-Ole

[schratze@todon.nl]

@owl @IngaLovinde in the widest sense, that's a behavior etymology. This bird is known for eating your pork

I don't have an explanation for olle though

[matildalove@wetdry.world]

@schratze

if you're asking "is that a raven or a crow", it's a crow

if you're going "holy shit that bird is fucking huge", it's a raven

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@owl @IngaLovinde @schratze domherre also is derived from behaviour: it's always impending doom 🤘

[petterofcats@mastodon.world]

@schratze we have a common saying out here: “if you see a blackbird, it’s a blackbird. If you see a large blackbird, it’s a crow. If you see a goth eagle, it’s a raven.”

@schratze crows are cool. Wanna make friends with crows
