Do birders have a lot of esoteric humor that non-birders would never understand? If so, dear birders, please try some of your jokes out on me. Thank you.

@photovotary@beige.party In the language of grebes, the word grebe means “dive”. “Hey, look at that grebe!” “What grebe?”

@photovotary@beige.party oh, this is something I have been thinking about too. Birds have so many funny names that you really wonder where they come from.
