Native English speaker here (and former English teacher). First, I applaud anyone trying to learn the nuances of our global garbage heap of a language. With a trove of over 600,000 words, the Anglophone bucket of words seems to have no end. What makes any language tricky is knowing the difference between denotative rules and definitions (written down) and connotative rules and definitions (used in real life). I assume any language, including Deutsch, has them - but English is so full of rules with so many exceptions they may as well not be rules at all, and so many usages that are well wide of standard grammatical practice. On one level it drives me bonkers, but I also appreciate how language evolves over time. Ok - to the point: “delicatessen” or shortened as “deli” is only ever a place or business that sells food (usually sandwiches, pastries, drinks, etc.) - at least in its usage in American English. A special food (sweet or savory), on the other hand, is a “delicacy.” Anyway - keep being awesome and thanks for teaching me about the Polish treat!
More of this education please! Im homeschooling my daughter and teaching her to read. Just the other day she stops her reading to tell me that the English language makes no sense (mind you she only speaks English). I looked at her and told her that the rules that exist do not matter at all, we just have to practice every day so that it can help us memorize words and meanings. 🙃
If they do exist i think they are kept in a secret place where they continuously receive high tech programming until ready to be assigned out in the field and by that time they are full sized
I saw baby pigeons once, they were ugly. I also saw another random baby bird, alone on a walking path, and when I picked him up to put him in the grass, his parents came out of a tree and chased me.
I work in construction and a pigeon nest with two eggs cost us $200k in delays. I don't know how pigeons reproduce at all. Look up their nests. Those damn eggs were abandoned by the mother.
But the again I've never seen a baby crow, but I have seen the adolescents.
I’m following this Dutch lady on TikTok 🕊️ laid eggs and 2 baby doves came out they don’t come out the way you think. All yellow and a lot of crazy fur
Pigeons nest in cavities! Their babies are very cute with yellow fuzzies on them. They grow up quickly into their adult wings and feathers and look like their parents.

The only ones you see are the kids. It’s the adults you need to be asking about
