For some reason a bird speaking Japanese is mildly off putting.
> Literal translation
Bird:” ‘Uhm Hello, this is the Ono family.”
Bird: “What’s wrong?”
Owner: “Abe-chan, you’re a little too early. Once the phone’s picked up, then properly say hello.”
Bird: “Okay, understood.”
Owner: “Do you really understand? I’m counting on you. Hello, this is the Ono family residence in Gifu.”]
Bird: “Okay, I understand!”
Owner: “Got it.”
> That’s clearly some sort of Pokemon.
> Off-putting? It’s like birds were meant to speak Japanese!
> For some reason it’s never occurred to me that birds can mimic languages other than English. It’s so cool, though!
The world will soon understand why birds are so awesome and deserve to be our overlords.
I went camping with my family once in Italy, and I kept hearing the same “quack, quack” every day and the sound of what reminded me of a door squeaking on its hinges. Both sounds were so out of place because there were only tents around and no doors anywhere nearby, and there were no ducks around, either. I followed the sounds one morning, and they led me to one of these. It’s almost scary how accurately they can mimic sounds.
Birds do indeed deserve to be our new fluffy puffy overlords.
