The Hi there, everybody, it's Ellen Weatherford.

And Christian Weatherford.

I forgot my name for a second.

We're off to a really strong start.

This is a rigorous and professional scientific podcast. I'm like, am I, Ellen? No. Oh, an identity crisis.

We're not 10 seconds into the episode. We're already disassociating. This is your favorite animal review podcast where we rate your favorite animals out of 10 in the categories of

effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics. We are not zoological experts, but we try our best to

bring the most and best information that we can. You're struggling.

Christian's in the trenches right now.

I got that bird on my mind.

The bird?

My bird.

Oh, the bird you're about to talk about. Yes.

Special musical guest, apparently, our neighbor's car, who just drove through our

cul-de-sac just absolutely bumping those summer jams.

That was a real treat right as I was about to start recordings.

Excellent.

Someone pulled through our cul-de-sac just absolutely blasting tunes.

Sit on them.

Also, a special thank you to Christian for being here and recording this podcast and not currently playing Oblivion.

Oh, yeah.
