Animal Names. Episode 6c, Bird Heaven.

… which makes me wonder: Do moa walk around bird heaven asking “Does extinction make my bum look big?” or is it a case of “Dodaars don’t tell?”

Yes, I really did write this whole series just to get that ghastly pun in, hopefully you laughed & that’s what comedy is about.

Come see me on stage.

Animal Names. Episode 6b, Dodo.

… They called it “Diornis” from Latin “Terrible Bird” but some claim it means “Like a Dodo” …

The only things the Moa & the Dodo have in common are they are both extinct flightless birds.

At least the name Dodo makes some sense.

It’s probably from the Dutch “Dodaars”, meaning “Fat-bottom.” …
