On the way home from vacation today, we swung by the PA grand canyon near Wellsboro, PA. One of the signs there is about 3 birds you often see in the area: the bald eagle, the turkey vulture, and the osprey. DH showed it to the HoneyBee and they talked about the birds and the differences between them.
As we were leaving, they reviewed the birds again in the van. The Little Chimp chimed in with his understanding of the fowl. When daddy asked about the bald eagle, the Little Chimp exclaimed, “They eat balls!” “No, they don't,” daddy said. “Some do!” was the Little Chimp's response.
We decided to move on. Daddy next asked about turkey buzzards (aka turkey vultures). “They buzz?!” interjected the Little Chimp. Trying to explain that buzzards do not buzz was fruitless.
So, now we know that bald eagles eat balls (later conversation determined that they are blue balls) and that turkey buzzards/vultures *buzz* like bees. The things you learn from a three-year-old.
