GLAa' spioladh [fiadh] (Ruairidh MacIlleathain - https://learngaelic.scot/litirbheag/nadar.jsp?l=803 (fecithe: 24.09.2024))
Tha am fiadh Iapanach beagan nas lugha na ʼm fiadh ruadh. Tha na leabhraichean ag innse dhuinn nach e beathach sòisealta a tha ann ach a-mhàin sa gheamhradh. Ach chunnaic mi fhìn na dhà dhiubh làimh ri chèile. Bha iad a’ spioladh ʼs ag ionaltradh còmhla.

The sika deer is a bit smaller than the red deer. The books tell us that it is not a social deer except in winter. But I myself saw two of them next to one another. They were browsing and grazing together.

Is iomaí glaoch atá ag an mheantán mhór; ach tá sé ag rá ar bhealaí éagsúla: 'Títear domh! Títear domh!' [...go bhfuil an tEarrach ar fáil!]. Is léir go bhfuil mionchanúint de Ghaeilge Uladh aige: títear = tchíthear = feictear; domh = dom

Question: But is Poecile hudsonicus rare in Cape Breton??? https://www.capeandislands.org/in-this-place/2020-12-09/the-rare-and-mysterious-boreal-chickadee
Question: Is the Highland Village Museum's YouTube video correct in matching the 'chickadee' photo with the correct bird call, and with the correct bird referred to in Gaelic? Is the call from a chickadee or a titmouse or a tit? Are these words interchangeable in Cape Breton English, or do they differentiate various types of tit-like birds?
