bears about as much resemblance to the real world as I do to a small white duck.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.

Yup. You've caught me out on my weasel words: the only difference between me and a small white duck is that I am, in fact, yellow.

Did you just photoshop it?

This is not a lark (4.00 / 6)

Taxonomically, Mirafra Colmansi (Irish Lark) bears no relation to the avian shown in your photograph. The Irish Lark, apart from its very active mating periods, is pink, not yellow.

According to wikipedia, the Irish Lark has a high-pitched mating call 'eeetiii - eetiii' sometimes referred to as the 'bog-whine'. Extravagant songs and display flights are also common. Like all larks, there is a willingness to expand in anthropogenic habitats.

Most larks are dull in appearance and feed on insects and seeds. They are rarely egrarious.

You can't be me, I'm taken
