Thank you, that one explained how they can reject it. I was wondering about the mechanisms of it.

I'm taking an avian ecology class this semester, and at some point we do a presentation on something bird-related. I thought very hard about doing this topic, because I think it's fascinating, but at age 71, I still don't think I could behave myself professionally for the entire thing. Too many good jokes in there, and I've already startled my young classmates enough!

At 71, you don't need to behave anymore and it is an interesting topic, I didn't know about it.
