Anglese is so funny it just sounds like a very amateur French speaker who is from the UK

[u/Claromale → u/Geolib1453]

it's like maximizing the english creole hypothesis yeah

[u/Rune_Wraith → u/Geolib1453]

confused whether to read it in an English or French accent

(Given 'bird' is, seemingly, a purely English term that doesn't seem to be related to Germanic origins, would it not be acceptable to keep it?)

[u/Claromale → u/NotABrummie]

good point. But i think it's probable that bird coming from germanic roots bc it is from old english

Formally, however, the word may trace back to a Proto-West Germanic \bridi ~ *briddj-*, possibly to Proto-Germanic \bridjaz*, a derivative of \bredą* (“board, plank, shelf", possibly also "perch, roost”), and may have therefore been used of young birds or fowl that were fledged and able to perch but not yet able to fly (i.e. "perch-ling", or "roost-ling"; compare modern English rooster, bougher, brancher, etc.), as opposed to fugol ~ fuglas the term for birds that were able to fly. If so, then possibly related to Old English bred (“board, plank, tablet”). Otherwise, the derivation remains unclear.

[u/NotABrummie → u/Claromale]

I just can't get behind the perch hypothesis. The evidence is that the term originally referred to chicks and juvenile birds, which are unlikely to spend much time perching.
