This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I learned that hummingbirds are native to North America and they don’t have them in Europe. That made me sad for all of them over there.

Birds in the rest of the world actually bother to learn the lyrics.

Best we can do is hummingbird moths.

You can see those anywhere you have a woman and a tourniquet.

Blue jays are fancier.

Magpies absolutely beat mockingbirds, though. Dull brown mimics versus two-tone corvids.

hummingbirds can be found in south america too, not just north.
