i’m so sad english has no word immediately equivalent to “bürzel” because it really improves the german duck experience

image

it basically means “bird butt” and i think it should be clear that phrases like “i’m gonna freeze my bird butt off” are vastly superior to, idk, “i’m gonna freeze my tailfeathers off”

i JUST thought of another cute german bird term but i’m less sure about whether it exists in english? SCHNÄBELN. means bird kisses.

unlike “bürzel”, it’s criminally underused in duck content. probably because bird kisses in general are criminally underused compared to anthropomorphised kisses. let them nuzzle their beaks together. let them.
