In French when someone is an idiot we can call them "cervelle d'oiseau" (bird brain).
You're welcome to use it. 😝
I didn’t know that! It used to be a phrase in English, too - dunno what’s become of it.
It's definitely fallen out of fashion in French as well, but if it's to describe transfoolery, I'm all for bringing it back !!
Actually plenty of them do, but that’s because there is loads of same-sex sexual behaviour in birds (as in mammals and reptiles), not because the males don’t know what a male or female is.
Male birds don’t do their courtship rituals for other male birds, afaik, so yes they know what “female” means. Congrats on being less intelligent than a bird, I guess?
