Yeah, when I took my first trip to England in the 1980s I wrote an enthusiastic postcard to all my birding friends back home with a list of the birds I'd seen in just the first few days in London...it started out something like "I saw ravens, blackbirds, chaffinches and some great tits!" They never let me forget that one.

Are you suggesting that a mammary fixation is an evolutionary step backwards, then?

Now how in the WORLD did you find that article, eh?

"Parus majors Challenge Evolutionary Theory"

It's an okay headline, but I wouldn't say it is the best ever.

I love it!
Reminds me of an occasion in my parents Edinburgh home many years
ago when my mother (a keen but naive bird watcher) exclaimed excitedly
"O look, there's a pair of tits in the back garden!".
I spent the next 30 mins doubled up in pain on the floor whilst siblings
tried to revive me.
Thanks for the mammaries - sorry - memories ...

I heard a bird watcher's joke once:

• Bird watcher says, "did you see any redheads down at the beach?"
  
  Fellow birder says, "Nah, just a pair of good looking tits. And I'm not talking about boobies either, you old old coot."

ahem...there's 4 birds in that joke!

I gaped speechless for a spell before I burst out laughing.

Researchers at the EGI have been studying great tits in Wytham, Oxfordshire, since 1947.

I'm definitely stopping in Wytham next time I visit the UK. Who knew?

I saw a documentary on PBS that suggested that human females' bust size (which differed from most apes in that apes' were only enlarged when they were in heat) was an adaptation to keep the mail around constantly.

I've seen that one too. More proof (IMHO) that the female of our species is as devious as ever and will stop at nothing to confuse us limp brained males.

Proof that the postman always rings twice.
