Pet Peeves

[troyer]

I hate it when people call chicks 'chickens'.
As in, my hen just hatched 5 chickens... I mean, that is the whole species!

Or they have 5 chickens that are laying and one rooster.

When some one repeatedly says parakeet when they mean budgie

Example.
"I have a green Parakeet."

My brain: Do you mean you have this?

Or this??

Or this???

Please be more specific...

Parmesan cheese?

Cheddar. But cheesy or caramel popcorn is a different monster

but they are chickens.

just like babies are humans.

But you wouldn't say your sister gave birth to a human.

but they are chickens.

just like babies are humans.

I know, I don't have a very good example, but how they use it its like its only the babies that are chickens.
They seem to think that one has roosters, hens, and chickens. (which are the babies)
Sorry I wasn't more clear

As I don't know the difference between them, I could well be guilty of this

The difference is they are all very different species, but all fall under the umbrella of "Parakeet".
Some people always call their Budgies Parakeets.
