When I was around 6 or 7, my Grandmother told me that a friend of hers had been stung by a hummingbird and almost died. It wasn't until I was in my late teens that I found out that hummingbirds don't sting!

I was always told that if you feed pigeons bicarbonate of soda the would explode...And I've never done it (just in case)

me and my friend used to argue about stupid things all the time, but the one i remember most was that i was sure a duck wasnt a bird, and she tried to convince me it was, but I wouldnt beleive her. A duck was a duck as far as i was concernd

I used to think all birds pooped on people that were being bad because a bird pooped on my dad one day and my mom said he has been bad latly

I thought that hens and chickens were the same thing and that cocks were a different breed of bird! I was very surprised to learn that cocks and hens were simply male and female chickens when I was 10

When I was little, I remember being told that birds fly south for the winter. Up until about 3rd grade I thought they flew ALL THE WAY south- to Antarctica. I wondered why they've leave Indiana in the fall to go somewhere even colder.

I used to believe that birds lived in their nests all the time, it came as a surprise when my mom pointed out this fallacy to me well into adulthood, "What! You mean birds just stand around in the trees all night?" Kinda creeps me out now.

i used to believe that when a chickens fertalised eggs, (like had sex) that the hen would lay the egg, then the rooster would sit on it. and then it would be fertalised

When I was a kid I used to believe that we can catch a sea gull throwing salt at its tail. So i always carried some salt when going to the beach in case I saw one.

Once I saw a swan in a park, and my dad pointed it out to me. However, I was convinced that it was a big white duck, and so my parents tried to tell me that it was actully a swan, using a nature book. I wouldn't listen to them, and whenever they got the nature book out, I would turn the page to the "big white duck".

I used to believe that if a wild bird got into the house it meant that a relative or a close friend had died and that a telegram would soon arrive telling of the death.

one time i was at a dock and there were ducks in the water pecking at eachothers heads and i yelled "look mom there eating each other!" then my mom told me they were having sex

A VERY long time ago, I decided to do a fun little project. i believed that if chickens could sit on eggs for a long time and make them hatch, maybe I could do the same. I took an egg out of the fridge and put it in a basket. Then after i did so, i sat on the egg. after what seemed like a long time, i got up to see if it was beginning to hatch, then sat down again... maybe a little too hard. oops!
imagine my moms shock when she saw the yoke on my good pants... ;-)

I used to believe that the direction geese were flying is where I had to go

Lola***Rose

since where i lived, there were a lot of little sparrows and pigeons, i used to think that the sparrows were pigeon babies.

I used to believe that a cuckoo actually looked like an owl. And even now when i know it doesn't, i still imagine an owl if i hear a cuckoo.

I used to believe that birds subsisted on bread.
