8 bullfinch?? What are you feeding them on?
Love the local lingo - we should use it more often. Sheppies I recall from my Grandma. But spugies - I've never heard of. Is it a Lanky word?
The only spuggy I can recall is spearmint gum! And is pronounced -uggy or -udgie? Apols if I sound pedantic but I could put these words in a poem.
But there may be more - can we create a dictionary of Lanky words for birds? So come folks - who know any more?
