disagree  Cetacea: What kind of an answer is that, and with a CL of 4?! The asker herself states that it's a bird species found in Hawaii, and neither you nor the website you quote provide any kind of German translation.//And what makes you think I'm white...?
1 hr
  -> I have gone through the website, that's why I mentioned it. And this is not way to put forth your opinion. Should be polite. I believe you have this white superiority complex.

agree  Cetacea: Ja, eine auf Hawaii eingeführte Vogelart mit grossem Imitationstalent. Siehe auch http://www.world-of-animals.de/Tierlexikon/Tierart_Schamadro... //Never mind their English pages; the German info is correct.
1 hr
  -> I'd rather not know that; have you seen the translation machine's "work"????? See the English pages for a good laugh.
agree  Gabriele Beckmann
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Gabriela
agree  Joan Hass: und gibt hübsche bildchen davon im netz.. (obwohl ich mich nach dem Zusammenhang frage: "botany / birds", aber nur nebenbei, reine Neugier -von wegen zoologisch orientiert-)
2 hrs
  -> Yes indeed: thanks Joan
