re: #138 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

First time I saw a European robin (and was told what it was) I was like, “What? That?” given how different they look from the North American bird called the robin.

Yep, the English saw a red-breasted bird in North America and went “yep, close enough.” Totally different species.

As an American moving to Europe, usually the first bird issue that pops up is finding out that that weird crow-ish bird with the white bands is what a magpie actually looks like. Know the name, never seen one before, don’t see them in zoos, good to know. Noisy bastards.
