Every time I wear sandals near the lake I live by, one of them always tries to go for my toes. You think giving them space helps but I think they see it as you backing down 😅

Same! Apparently geese hate toes. Who knew? Maybe they’re trying to web ours together?

Did we ever get an explanation for why they’re “Birds of Prey” and not “Raptors?”
Is it culturally important to Klingons that you say the whole phrase?

“Bird of Prey” is a classification of light warship used by both the Romulan and Klingon forces, the smaller version of a “Warbird” class ship.
It is not culturally important to them, anymore than a “Galaxy Class” or “Class III Neutronic Carrier” would be to a human/federation race.

So why don’t the translators call them Raptors?

You know, I am unsure about that and now I’m curious. I’m gonna look into it and I’ll let you know if I find anything!

afaik it’s only appeared in that regrettable Enterprise episode with the Klingons, I’m not entirely certain but I’ve got faith of the heart that is correct.

If you have a problem with Canada Gooses, you are without honor. And I suggest you let that one marinate.
