Is that a suggestion to ignore it? I reposted the image. Then went back and now adjusted the manage attachments function.

I was beginning to think everyone felt my pix were being unfair and decided they didn't want to play.

 

[Stoshowicz]

Myna?

Nope , I know they have some down by you but I don't have any of that one. I don't think they're considered "established" here.

I don't think they are unfair. I just have very limited bird knowledge, but you giving some hints is helping me learn. For example, you just used the word "down." I am like, that bird looks kinda "fuzzy." Also, saying that there is no "down" in that species gave me something new to consider, nomenclature wise, that I wouldn't have used to look for a bird. I know birds have down, but I never considered it in idnetification until now.

I hate being a well educated ignoramus, but that is my lot in life.
