Flock of birds

My friend Anne was recently babysitting my three-yearold granddaughter. Anne suggested they play a game where they try to name as many different types of birds as they can. She started by saying, “Sparrows.” Then Miss Three said, “Seagull.” Anne replied with, “Blackbird,” then Miss Three, after a long pause for thought, said, “More seagulls.”
