Just a sparrow

Wow, that's a Stresemann's Bristlefront, the world's rarest bird. Actually, looking closer, he's right, it's a sparrow.

I believe the Latin is "Cock Spugga".

I used to impress an ex girlfriend with my bird knowledge.

What's that!

Oh! that's a Lesser Spotted Roach Warbler.

She believed me

These birds are quite bold and very keen on seeing what food we may have. They will come in our apartment and I have to chase them out . I have learnt not to feed them as they come in force. At one point I had about 6 of them sitting on me . I won't do that again as they poo on you
They are much more confident than UK birds. The Robin in our garden in the UK will get close ,these Spanish Birds are very friendly.

Oh er.

Well, when you said 'I'm going to Spain to pull some birds'... you got what you asked for

I was going to do a pun on this, so I googled it to make sure it was for real. Thanks for the disturbing mental image

The RSPB takes a very dim view on bird pulling
