but not to dogs they yell at dogs going too close to their trashcans

I don't get any in my own garden, but they pop up in some of the larger lawns my company maintains sometimes.

caught a bunch of them last week, the young moles start to claimterritory around this time.

>>2222868
that's awesome

I only got to interect one kept at a zoo, it seemed very lonely, locked together with dumb birds like phesants and chicken, it came to the wire to play with kids, and took an insect from me when I offered

>>2222921
it's a big issue here, all sorts of birds are getting more and more used to having human activity around them, so you can imagine they end up causing trouble due to it.

for example there's fucktons of grey herons hovering around all day eating all the goldfish from ponds.

Is this some bird psychology innovation?

>>2222264

Merel, common name in the Netherlands. I don't like blackbirds btw, they destroy all the fucking moss in my garden looking for something to eat.

In my country we call them »solsort« which means »sun-black«. Kinda weird

>>2223496
supposingly it makes them feel like they're being watched by a predator.

not sure if it actually works, herons don't have any predators here anyway, there's been a fucking lot of them lately.

Every year, every damn spring one male blackbird would appear in the apple tree in our backyard. Probably the same bird every time. It did nothing but sit there and stare at me with its beady eyes. Sometimes it would sing sadly. Never saw other blackbirds around. I think it was lonely.

>>2221985
Merel?

>>2224817
i think it's Deutsch

>>2225258
In german its Amsel actually. Funny thing is, that in old german, Amsala meant bird, in general, but since blackbirds were so common, people attached Amsel as a name to the bird in particular and it stuck

>>2225269
why do german names always sound so jewish?

>>2225271
Yiddish burrows heavily from german. When I hear people speaking I can understand it almost as well as dutch.

It is plausible that the Amschel in Mayer Amschel Rothschild had the meaning of Amsel/Amsala aka bird.

>>2225277
can you understand frisian?

names like Bejamin, Christroph, Daniela, Daniel, Eduard, Franz, Gabriel, Irene, Judith, Karen, Ludolf, Manuel, Petra have always been a boner-kill for me, they instantly make you suspicious.

>>2225282
Isnt frisian basically plattdeutsch? If so yes.

>>2225309
it sounds like a mix of german and english.

the dutch can't understand frisian.

>>2224706
you danes call butterflies "summer birds" too right? (in dutch we do sometimes)

>>2225309
yes it is basicallt platt. There is not linguistic reason as to why Frisian is concidered a different language, it is just as distant as any other dialect on the border

>>2225311
>the dutch can't understand frisian.

we can

>>2225357
>There is not linguistic reason as to why Frisian is concidered a different language
there's no reason why dutch isn't just considered a low germanic dialect either, I can tell you're from limburg.

>we can
no you can't, you look like you're taking a shit in confusion every time you hear a frisian word.

bûter, brea en griene tsiis ;')

>>2225360
>there's no reason why dutch isn't just considered a low germanic dialect either,

Dutch is a frankish language, not a low germanic (nedersaksies) one. But you are right in saying that dutch could definitely be considered a german dialect of sorts.

>I can tell you're from limburg

You are wrong, Overijssel.

>no you can't, you look like you're taking a shit in confusion every time you hear a frisian word.

Frisian is in no way harder to understand than west-vlaams, limburgs, west-fries, tilburgs etc. I can definitely understand 70 to 90 % of what you guys are saying

the only reason frisians get the special snowflake status is because they kept on nagging about it.

what do you mean?, most of the netherlands speaks a dialect of low saxon.

>Frisian is in no way harder to understand than west-vlaams, limburgs, west-fries, tilburgs etc

have you actually talked to frisian farmers or just to city folks pretending they're frisian?

>grootste deel van nederland spreekt saksisch dialect

niet jokken!

Noch in oppervlakte noch in inwoneraantal is het saksisch (groningen tot bovenste helft gelderland) groter dan het frankisch (de rest van het land, o.a. brabant & de randstad ( dé kernen qua bevolking. )(oh, en belgië natuulijk)) Daarbij is op veel plaatsen dialect haast dood en de standaardtaal, (ABN. haarlems dus) Frankisch.

Jullie zijn zo koppig dat jullie je dialect een taal noemen, links stemmen en onafhankelijk willen zijn.

De vlijtige, rechtse en vrome Brabander daarentegen wordt uitgemaakt voor "reservebelg".

Ik kom er niet vandaan, woon er niet en heb niets met brabant, maar misschien moet je even dimmem taeke hiemstra
