If anyone wants to resize them or rotate, feel free! ;D

Do I remember that budgerigar is an Anglicised version of an Australian word meaning "tasty food"?

Title: Re: Helping out an old friend with 15mm Napoleonics.
Post by: toxicpixie on 21 July 2015, 08:53:02 AM

That's apparently apocryphal but it is an appealing thought! Like "Hill-Hill-Hill" or "Who is this idiot who doesn't know what a river is? River"...

Your link supports the reading.

... it is quite possible that reports by those local to the region are more accurate in specifying the direct translation as "good food".

Title: Re: Helping out an old friend with 15mm Napoleonics.
Post by: toxicpixie on 21 July 2015, 10:38:28 AM

Not quite - different thing, in that they may LEAD to "good food", not be "tasty food" themselves...

QuoteWhile many references mention "good" as part of the meaning, and a few specify "good bird", it is quite possible that reports by those local to the region are more accurate in specifying the direct translation as "good food".[24] There are apocryphal reports that this could also translate as "tasty treat", implying they were eaten by the aboriginals. However, it is more likely the name derived from their migratory nature. With seasonal changes that left parts of the Liverpool Plains barren, they would move to areas with residual water, that still produced the seeds they sought. By following the birds, the aboriginals could locate water, and also other game and food plants. Thus, the birds could lead them to "good food".

I wasn't aware I was implying that they were tasty food. On reviewing my post, I find my ignorance persists.

Ah, the internet is a blunt medium -

QuoteDo I remember that budgerigar is an Anglicised version of an Australian word meaning "tasty food"?

followed by the chopped quote from wiki omitting the "but not that they're good to eat themselves, but instead imply where good food might found for humans" part had me thinking you were implying they were called good to eat food :)

Wow, full Necromancy!
Sometimes, my old mate asks you to do something to help, 6 years after the last batch, he asked for new project. Mark needed some Poles to add to his burgeoning collection.

Who was I to deny him?

Except he will apply inks, base and tidy up at his end, which know will look AMAZING! Hopefully I can post some images when they are done at his end. (Hint hint!) As my entire painting technique revolves around inks, so this was a slightly twitchy job for me, and I honestly at times felt a little weird not using them (and I might have 'accidently' inked a couple of backpacks), but in the end I enjoyed them.
