If there were no birds
Tchaikovsky would not have known
what to
name his lake,
Keats would have written one less ode,
the Wright brothers would have stuck to
bicycles.
Two in the bush would be as good as an
empty hand,
there would be no Cardinals in the
Vatican,
and the world would be ruled by bugs.
(Gene Williamson)
Paroariais is a (Brazilian) for a small,
yellow, red and gray bird;
nigrogenis is Latin for black cheeks.
