I mean not to nitpick but there are (were?) hundreds of aboriginal languages, none of which were related to the colonialist accent. And they were there for like thousands of years. So like fuck these birds if they’re speaking English tbh
Comment on YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia.

To suggest a bird should confirm to a culture is insane. To the birds, both indigenous and colonial cultures would be a drop in the ocean compared to what they’ve seen.

They’re screaming something! Torresian Crows, Pied Currawongs, Noisy Miners, every morning they’re around my yard yelling at the top of their little lungs!

I’ve got a gaggle of kookaburras in the neighborhood too. Only a few lorikeets and an occasional cockatoo.
