One of the 11 official languages of South Africa is Afrikaans (derived from Dutch), and the Afrikaans word for sparrow is "mossie". The word 'mos' in Afrikaans means 'just' and adding -sie on the end makes it a diminutive. So, these are "just birds" as in, "What's that bird?", "Oh, just a bird". :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038963026422133043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-33561561332580673222012-01-18T21:33:52.480-05:002012-01-18T21:33:52.480-05:00beautiful place...thank you for sharing...beautiful place...thank you for sharing...Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745604261113221887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-59363652954497882502012-01-18T19:26:48.687-05:002012-01-18T19:26:48.687-05:00oh the birdies, the birdies!
