My bf calls any sort of small round bird a “McDonald’s bird” or “trash bird” and me, being an avid fan and identifier of many species, took offense on behalf of the little guys.
“You shouldn’t call them that, they’re noble little creatures”, I claim
“what are they called, then?”
“that one is a dark-eyed junco”
And he fucking bodies me with
“literally how is junk-o any better than trash bird”
little junk bird. beloved trash dinosaur
