spotting animals is so rare in London that it’s always worth telling others about it.
but what if you haven’t got a blog ? write it on a piece of paper and stick it in the street.

Your titles and subtitles really make the day! – But what is a cockatil? i know the australian cockaboora (our german name would be “laughing john”); in which direction i have to think?
i think they meant cockatiel

of course they could have meant cocktail. there’s plenty of those in the streets of london on barmy summer eves.
i probably wouldn’t bother putting a sign up if i saw one of those either though
those paper writers are geniuses.
i should also mention that when i was a kid my parents raised caged birds, and we had cockatiels named chuck and di.
did you live on/in a zoo michelle ?
everytime i put an animal related picture up you have a childhood story to tell with a fantastic associated fact (for which i am always greatful) !
Great, those comments! i am glad that i learned a new word. Just in case someone would like to know ;-), in german this bird is called Nymphensittich…
sometimes it felt like i lived in a zoo, but i think that was mostly because of my brother the monkey. 😉
we need to be a bit careful here. jane, my lovely wife, teaches people German. if they can come to this site and get words for free she might be out of a job !
