In my morning paper there was a dinky article telling us avid readers in the soggy and cold UK that in hot countries the birds are much more colourful. But, tantalisingly, they didn't come up with any actual REASONS why that is so. My theory ,so far, is that the country in question was populated by 90% dull little beggars, but that wouldn't be very attractive to all those worldbirders who want to see exciting birds .... .....so .. "they" needed to bring in foreign, brightly-coloured ones. Money talks ! Or maybe the "locals" just painted them. But that's not the only possibility. I wonder if us humans get duller when they go to hot countries ? So, by contrast, the birds look brighter due to the camo-jacketed observers. Perhaps some of my readers could come up with other theories. Maybe it will be one of those impenetrable thingys. But meanwhile, let's have a bit of music .... yes, I know we've seen it before, but it is my favourite song of all time ...... I "do" it almost every day... and I have been for approx 50 years.
