Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág on Nostr: 19th century British folktale translators be like *Native bird name* = Pidgeon ...

19th century British folktale translators be like

*Native bird name* = Pidgeon
*Native songbird name* = Blackbird
*Native raptor name* = Eagle
*Native antelope name* = Deer
*Native name for jackal* = Clever Fox
*Native name for any feline* = Tiger
