Mandarin Duck
Hello! Allow me to introduce myself, I'm a Mandarin Duck. Yes, that clicking you hear is me (although I can quack fluently here in PnF, it's not my first language). Though my native land is Asia, I've proven very adaptable in England, and I also have relatives in Russia! (And some North American cousins known as Wood Ducks - what kind of a name is that? Those Americans are definitely odd ducks!)
But now I'm ready to expand my horizons. You didn't think peacocks were the only ones who could sport such regal plumage, did you? PnF is just the place for a colorful character like myself to make a splash!

BirdsongBirdsong is as old as time. Birds sing to announce their ownership of territory, to find a mate, or just for the joy of living. Of course they all sing completely different tunes, but all birds understand the nuances of other bird’s songs, even though they may sound entirely different.
There is a natural order of things. Little tweeting birds hear one another in the hedges; hawks scream in the skies; blackbirds warble across the fields. And they ignore other species.
But when the wrens first saw a microphone and realised they could make themselves heard by everybird everywhere, that changed all the rules. Suddenly it wasn’t good enough to have just the right song for your environment; you had to scream just to be heard over the wrens!
Peace could only be achieved by giving everybird a microphone, but only in designated places. Then with everybird having an equal chance to be heard, competitive interspecies birdsong began. And the fields and skies went back to the natural order of things.
