This is one I know a lot of people have been waiting for.
Bird of the Week today presents our Pokémon edition. Because I know you all want to be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch them is your quest, to train them is your cause.
Birds abound in the Pokémon world, but today it’s all about the duck, Farfetch’d.

Special of course for having a name that includes an apostrophe. Let’s consult the pokedex:
“Farfetch’d is always seen with a stalk from a plant of some sort. Apparently, there are good stalks and bad stalks. This Pokémon has been known to fight with others over stalks.”
I also understand the stalk is used for nest building, and fighting. I think it looks a bit like a spring onion or something of the such, which seems considerate, because if you wanted to cook him, there’s already some garnish ready to go. Supposedly one of the rarer Pokémons, I think it gets overlooked because, well, it’s just a duck. He may not have the electrical charge, the water jets, the weird plant things, but he has really determined eyebrows, so you know it’s hungry for victory… or is evil.

Look at that determination. You know that duck is getting things done.
After all, you got to catch em all. It’s me and you, I know it’s my destiny, Pokémon. Woooooooooo you’re my best friend, in a world we must defend. Pokémon Ohhh a heart so true, our courage will pull us through, Pokémon. You teach me and I’ll teach you PO-KE-MON!
I realise this edition is mostly me singing to Pokémon theme song. We might go more serious next week, or descend further into silliness. I mean, really, who can say what will happen?
