I used to think peacocks were girls and peahens were boys because with humans the girls tend to be prettier than the boys, so why would it be any different with peacocks and peahens?

When i was a little boy, i used to believe that the parrot were a kind of robots created by the police to spy on us beacause they were always repeating that we said. Besides, in a lot of films or series, the spies were always using a lot of different gadgets to spy on us. I discover the truth when my cousin adopted a parrot so i went to see him and by living with the parrot, i realised that the parrots were just animals like others. Now, when i think about that, i find that i was ridiculous to think about that beacause it's logic that the parrots were true animals

I used to believe that birds couldn't fly in the rain because I had watched a cartoon with fairies and mischievous where fairies couldn't fly because they had wet wings. For me this law applied to birds too. One day, I saw a bird fly when storm and I said to myself "What? But how does he do to fly in the rain?". And it's the way that I understood.
