        I’ve heard that the penguin is mightier than the swordguin.

      let’s face it the guy who named the great tit did probably did so accidentally. the bird could’ve been named anything at that point.

      “and what should we name these birds?”
      “damn it i spilled my coffee”
      “weird name but ok”
