UN: Red Robin

[mostdangerousbird]

[ Tim has gotten his hands on a second earpiece, and he wants everyone to know. ]

I think everyone’s life needs more and less confusion. If you know me, I can be reached here. If you don’t, I can still be reached here, but I’m going to ask why.

I’m not that Robin, so don’t cross the streams. I’m the one who wears more color.

She told me that there weren't any actual black canaries though. Are there actual robin's that are red where you're from?

[The biologist wants to know!]

I did actually get it for quipping at bad guys while fighting them. So that's a point for you, Mr. Red Robin.

[mostdangerousbird]

Not entirely red, but yes. The Australian robins have firetruck red chests, but the American and European robins are more ruddy than red. If you appreciate irony, the Euro bird’s the only one called robin redbreast.

Oh, we’re going to get along.

[mockingbirdy]

Sounds similar to my Earth back home. Do you have a favorite?

Do you also get asked 'why not a bird of prey instead of some weak little bird' by people?

[mostdangerousbird]

I can do the American Robin’s call, so I guess that one. The Australian one is the coolest-looking though.

Only the first time.

[mockingbirdy]

Well I cannot do a single bird call, so you win.

[mostdangerousbird]

I thought mockingbirds didn't have a call of their own. They imitate others.

[mockingbirdy]

It's true. But wouldn't that mean I have to know all of the calls?

Or you can work smarter, not harder, and carry a device that can record and play back sounds.
