Falcon Wild is a new book in that long tradition, and this one features a more realistic (though still very slightly romanticized) portrait of a human/animal partnership. It’s all about finding the highway and getting out, even as Karma shows increasing survival skills and Stark masters the art of the hunt.

I was just thinking that tailorbird might be a good brand name for a cheap line of men’s clothing. Lesser Whistling Ducks are “not threatened by hunting as they are not considered good to eat” ( Wikipedia ). Plus hopefully, you will be arrested for mistreating animals. Lucky ducks.

A mozzie bites me, so I take the “Expedition Plus Insect Repellent” from my rucksack (when I think about it now, any local brand would probably be equally efficient, but they lack the word “expedition” which immediately turns you into a proper explorer) and start spraying my hands and neck.

Shockingly, the Ashy-throated Parrotbill apparently is a species heavily hunted for bird fighting in Guizhou Province, China ( source ). If being hunted by evil humans was not enough, Ashy-throated Parrotbills are also hosts of the parasitic Common Cuckoo. Animal Class. Shame on the researchers. American Civil War? World War 1?
