Beautiful portrait. Poor bird, probably the most laughed about in the whole bird kingdom, to English speakers anyway, I doubt if it translates quite the same in other languages. Rather like Boobies!! Posted 10 years ago

  Being not a native english speaker, I too was shocked about its name when I first read the english version. It certainly deserves better. In dutch it's "koolmees", where "kool" refers to chalk (burned wood), indicating its black head. Posted 10 years ago
