Small birds with plain or colourful plumages, stout legs and strong feet and short, triangular bills. Several species have crests.
In the UK, six species breed (plus one unrelated species of reedbeds); there are a few more in Europe and Asia, plus others in Africa and the Americas. They are social, often in mixed flocks, but territorial when nesting. They are among the most persistent and successful visitors to garden feeders.

ROFLMAO

it did censor the link!

I think you can say booby, but not the T word...
:lfao:
 
A booby is a bird, albatross family if I remember correctly or an idiot. The t word is not an offensive or even rude word. There's an expression here for when you make a mistake or an idiot of yourself, 'making a right tit of yourself', it's very mild, I can't see why anyone would take offense. Here's a blue one.
