Replying to my comments re: chickadees in the background
Yeah, not that I've ever been there but I could make some educated guesses. But Americans should be able to recognise their own songbirds and think, "Hey, this ain't Europe."
Well, 1stly, Xena isn't filmed in America, so it wouldn't have our songbrds. More importantly, you mean Neil, the Great Birder, doesn't know that you British colonialists imported your birds who have been more or less taking over from the native songbirds?
Oddly, the Federation seemed to populate the galaxy with only European avifauna
Not oddly-- in keeping with history, as per above. (Our Jays won't be overwhelmed by any other birds, though.)
