birds

When I was little I thought seagulls were called seagles. Like a portmanteau of 'sea' and 'eagle'.

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.

I used to think that all birds flew until I saw a series in which they explained which are the species of birds that are not flying.

I used to think that when a baby bird was old enough to fly out of the nest and live away from the mother bird, it would sometimes go back to back to visit her in the same tree, like when we humans stay in touch with our relatives!

When I was eight, I thought my dad could translate what the birds were saying. I have no idea why.

When I was 2 years old I used to pout when I didn't get my way, and my lower lip would stick out. My mom told me that a birdie was going to potty on my lip if I didn't stop pouting (we happened to be outside at that moment). I remember being on the lookout for that bird, and bracing myself for the impending bombardment, because I sure as heck wasn't going to stop pouting!
