Dear 'word' autocorrect...

when I type grockle, I mean grockle. Do not correct it to grackle. I don't even know what grackle is.

Starlings are invasive over here. They were introduced by some Victorian maniac who wanted to bring over all the birds mentioned in Shakespeare.

At the same time, other bearded wing-nuts were killing off the passenger pigeons, and the heath hens, and the buffalo etc. (I know the buffalo is not a bird, but you know what I mean. (Besides, we should be grateful it is not a bird, imagine if it perched above your car!)

It is not the fault of modern starlings of course.

Fancy a herd of incontinent buffalo flying over your car!

It's the same here with grey squirrels. Hate the things.
