    Frogs are smaller than I think. Always.

    Also, it is now that time of year in which flocks of parrots fly around squawking.

How large do you think frogs are?

There are some pretty big frogs that I can think of. For example, the American Bullfrog is 18 cm long and about 750 g, and the Goliath Frog is huge at 33 cm long and 3 kg in weight. But yeah, most frogs are kind of small.

Sure, technically those frogs exist. Pictures of those in the company of children are what I built my frog-size expectations from. No doubt when I actually see one I will be amazed at its hugeness.

...and you have a frog icon.

[osakadensetsu.livejournal.com]

Well, actually it's a Poroggo icon. But they are frogs. Kind of. Just anthropomorphic. And magical.

...I may or may not have replied just so that I had an excuse to actually use it.

I think I remember being frustrated by those in a previous game. Or maybe it was just the frog spell.

(Sulphur-crested) Cockatoos (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Cockatoo&gwp=13) and galahs (http://www.answers.com/Galah?cat=health&gwp=13).

Although technically they are both cockatoos.

Nevertheless, the image of a sky full of them boggles my tiny USian mind.

They don't actually... well sometimes they do.

You should have grown up in Louisiana. We had tree frogs that camped on out windows and flocks of blackbirds that covered fields. I won't even talk about the bugs.
