It feels like there should be other emojis that are suggested for this word as well…
@billgoats What macOS are you using? I see plenty of birds in Sonoma.
@splorp And zero middle fingers! 15.7.4. I'm pretty sure I've seen birds before…
@billgoats @splorp ā€œemoji birds aren’t realā€ etc
@billgoats What the actual heck?
@splorp It’s fine on the phone. But still starts with the middle finger. Which I don’t think I’ve ever actually used before. 🐦
@billgoats That’s so odd. It just have something to do with localization. I don’t see it on my iPhone (iOS 18.7.7)
@splorp ā€˜Flip them the bird’ isn’t a particularly British thing to say. Maybe my phone has found itself learning from Robin Williams’s character in Good Morning Vietnam?
@billgoats I blame your Dvorak keyboard layout.
@splorp It's as good of an explanation as anything, I suppose šŸ™ƒ
@billgoats that’s what @smallsco did at the seagull, I presume…
