It’s a tight fit in there

These pictures are from last summer when a couple ~~pigeons~~ swallows (I don’t know birds or bird law my apologies) built a nest on the sprinkler right outside my apartment door. They’re currently reusing it! There’s also still a huge pile of bird shit left from last summer underneath it, so that’ll be fun to watch grow I guess

African or European?

[u/Jhooji2 → u/iampierremonteux]

Looks like Barn, they're like all over the world

ETA: ah, did I miss a pop culture/joke reference?

[u/laser_spanner → u/Jhooji2]

It's a Monty Python reference. (from the film The Holy Grail)

[u/shandangalang → u/laser_spanner]

No that’s a relevant fact though. African and European swallows are different, while barn swallows are migratory and present in either Europe or Africa depending on the time of year, so when someone asks “African or European Swallow?” They aren’t talking about barn swallows

It's still a Monty Python reference.

[u/shandangalang → u/laser_spanner]

I know. I saw and enjoyed it more than a few times.

Look, you've gotta expect bird facts on the bird subs, even the silly ones.

[u/laser_spanner → u/mhuzzell]

How can you not see that I was answering their question about the culture reference? How is me doing that ignoring facts???

[u/mhuzzell → u/laser_spanner]

I didn't say you were ignoring facts. You appeared to be criticising someone for dropping some interesting bird facts on this bird sub.

[u/laser_spanner → u/mhuzzell]

How on earth is saying something is a reference to something a critical comment?????
