There’s a bird?

Yes. You don’t see it right away because it’s green. Look again.

Oh. There it is.

Yes. The bird is green! Isn’t nature clever?

Clever, yes. Clever and funny.

And look at this one, too!

Hey—that one doesn’t look green.

It is, kind of. It doesn’t have to be. We might call it green. Look closely—I think it is indeed green.

I’m not sure it’s green. I agree it’s a bird though.

I thought we were looking at birds. Why do you keep saying “green”?

We are looking at birds. These birds are green. Green birds are birds.

But if you’re talking about birds, you could just say “birds.” You don’t have to say “green.” Here are some birds.
