What are your special talents?

Does memorise scientific names of animals and plants count?

I don't see why it shouldn't count. What's the Linnean name for the pied wagtail? Goose? What's the biggest clade they have in common?

I suppose my special talent is troubleshooting, systems thinking, summarising lots of information and other abstract mental abilities, except sticking to the point.

Let's see: Motacilla alba, order passeriformes; Anser anser, order anseriformes. They're not very closely related.

Troubleshooting sounds very useful.

So do I, although I live in a city and there isn't much variety here. I see a lot of starlings and pigeons; only occasionally sparrows, robins, wrens and dunnocks 

We have a bird feeder and lots of birds use it every morning

A thread about wildlife sounds like a great idea!

Best way to become familiar with birds is to hang feeders in your garden, if you can.

(  Glad Tidings, Sir Cassie... I see this and I want to say something but I am still afraid of chat (& hackers) and am also wondering why there has not been a free-for-all "Wildlife" Thread still started yet. ("Plastic" began a serious Thread a Month ago, though.)

I see the Long Tailed <censored word> a lot in London. Yet I was thinking about all this Greek Stuff You and Wagtail say... slightly joking, here, but, knowing such things into Adulthood whilst outside of the Career it concerns is likely a talent for sure.

Yet I am a Dinosaur Fan Myself, and so recalling those names while being Four times older than a Ten Year Old Child, could be seen as a bit of a "gift" too, maybe...? Procompsognathus. Parasaurolophus. Heterodontosaurus. ...I also wonder why there is no proper Dinosaur Thread yet either... (!)

Also it is useful to know Old Greek to understand Medical Terms; "CSI" used to be very annoying with its overuse of the term "subdermal haematoma" (bruising). And there is/was science fiction such as Star Trek...

I am half joking and half serious... so do not worry about My post here too much anyone. Have a nice day. )
