You've [almost] got it John.
Instead of 'birds of...a '   think "Boring Old F..."

I well remember a spoof 80m QSO many years ago when someone pirating the
call G2BOF deliberatly droned on for hours on end about gardening, wahing
the car  and other nonentities....   Probably to make a point about the
conversations to be heard on 80m in the middle of the daytime.  Seems even
worse these days.
