Onomatapia

Haha... true! I don't know how they sound either, but there is an interesting page here (EVERYTHING can be found on the net!!)

Ha! Our crow also makes "kra, kra" (We say that it "kracze"-action)
oystercatcher!! In Polish ostrygojad. I have never heard about the bird before... This thread starts being some botany lessons.

Same here! "Kra kra" for Crows and the action (verb) is "kraxar".

Aneta, that happens ALL the time, the subject change!!! There is a huge thread about fauna (and flora) in the Scandinavian corner. Ernst actually opened the thread about their national bird... and it ended with talk about other birds, weather, flowers etc. Only problem, we alter between a few languages, but most posts are written in English.

Yes, you're right, dear Pia. And it is normal I think. Every discussion (also in real) is developing and, in effect, subjects are changing. It is nice.
But I am quite happy that most of threads are written in English here. Thanks to this most of us can understand and participate in them...
