Good morning from the local gang!

@sjaakkeuvelaar ha, I did not know there was an extra word for this kind of tree (it also exists in German where I did not know it either!).

[vicgrinberg@mastodon.social]

@elaterite I haven't see much of them in the area before, I very much hope they don't decide to make our cherry tree their long-term home as cute and fun as they are! But yeah, very loud...

@vicgrinberg
TIL that ‘knotwilg’ is not a purely Dutch thing…

@vicgrinberg

[vicgrinberg@mastodon.social]

@sjaakkeuvelaar haha, yes, this is how I got the German word!

[vicgrinberg@mastodon.social]

@sjaakkeuvelaar though for some reason I see it in German which seems not in your list?

[sjaakkeuvelaar@mastodon.nl]

@vicgrinberg
At times, especially for plants and animals, Wikipedia is the best translation site…

[vicgrinberg@mastodon.social]

@sjaakkeuvelaar yes!

[sjaakkeuvelaar@mastodon.nl]

@vicgrinberg
It is, on top of the list!

[godfromthesky@mastodon.social]

@vicgrinberg ha ha first time I saw them I was very surprised in the Netherland. Green parrots. My colleagues just said stop smoking..

[vicgrinberg@mastodon.social]

@godfromthesky close to where I lived before, they would gorge themselves on overripe fruit on some of the trees. Looked like a crime scene afterwards!

@vicgrinberg ach wie krass! Papageien als Straßenvögel, schon cute

[ives@mstdn.social]

@vicgrinberg Oh, you have those as well? As cute as they look, they're noisy, aggressive little bastards. Even the magpies, who used to run the neighborhood, are afraid of them.

[compzi@mastodon.social]

@vicgrinberg It's so cute
