Quite so.  :thumbsup:

We get loads of different migrating birds all of the time. But the idiot locals see them as a delicacy or just target practice.  noooo:

They either shoot them out of the sky, catch them in nets or upon limesticks.  noooo:

Yet another reason to show how basic and stupid the slypriots are.  cussing:

We too have seen some hooge bumble bees, they look like they shouldn't be able to take off let alone manage flight. noooo:

No bird or bee phobias here, not sure there are any phobias ere.
